As he helped hand out hundreds of backpacks, binders, and folders at TD Garden in anticipation of a new school year, Johnny Beecher acknowledged the pained reality that used to set in at this point on the calendar. 'It was always kind of crazy when you were a kid and you knew the school year was coming back up - you’d walk into Target with your mom, and they’d have the back-to-school stuff - you kind of just put your head down and realize that reality was coming back,' Beecher said with a smile Thursday at TD Garden's Back-to-School Celebration.
Lohrei, who also attended Thursday's event with Beecher, said of his rookie campaign, 'I felt pretty good about my game in the playoffs, and obviously there are still a bunch of things I want to work on. So I went into this summer just trying to address those - but that playoff run just made me a whole lot hungrier for what's to come.' This sentiment highlights the motivation and personal development these young players are focusing on after their debut.
