The Montreal Canadiens Prospect Jacob Fowler juggles life as a goalkeeper and a student. Written by Canadians in the third round of the NHL 2023 draft, Fowler left the Boston College after his second year. He won the Mike Richter prize as the best goalkeeper for American university hockey.
Even if he now focuses on his professional career, he wants to continue his studies. Fowler signed up for an online creative communication course this season, after taking religion and communication lessons during the summer.
“I have the impression that it would be a waste if I did not continue my diploma … You don’t want to be good in one aspect of your life, because hockey will only last so long.”
He admits that he is not the most passionate student, but he does not want to waste the given stock market. Fowler said that an education in the Boston College is too precious to pass.
“I think the importance is that people would kill for the education you get from the Boston College. It is a very privileged school to which you can frequent. I have the impression that it would be a waste if I did not diplomat,” said Fowler.
“Being able to get an education like that of this school for free is not something you want to leave on the table.
Fowler went 25-7-2 with an average of goals of 1.63, a percentage of stops of .940 and seven landslides last season at Boston College. Now, with the Laval rocket, he will intervene as a goalkeeper No. 1 while taking time for his studies.
Jacob Fowler wants to make his parents “proud”
Jacob Fowler wants to make his parents proud by graduating. At Boston College, students take courses for their religion requirements, and Fowler takes one of these courses as part of his studies.
“I hope that one day I can go through this stage and make my parents proud (with a diploma) for something other than hockey.” Jacob Fowler said.
Fowler has also noted that the Boston College will continue to cover the cost of its courses as long as it studies and will not late or fail.
