The rising Quinnipiac senior ultimately chose the Bruins, thanks in part to conversations with Bobcats teammates Chris Pelosi and Elliott Groenewold, both of whom are Bruins draft picks and were headed back for their third edition of camp at Warrior Ice Arena ahead of their junior seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=4168\">The Jaylen Brown trade was unprecedented for the Celtics, and other thoughts<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>It was a bit of a role reversal for Marcellus, who was part of the veteran group that welcomed Pelosi and Groenewold as freshmen two seasons ago and was named captain for next year\u2019s squad.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>\u201cNow they\u2019re teaching me here,\u201d said Marcellus, who turns 24 this month. \u201cIt\u2019s not too bad though. They\u2019re both so mature and such good guys, so I\u2019m just trying to be a sponge with them, and learn what they know from here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Groenewold, 20, was drafted in the fourth round, 110th overall, in 2024. The 6-foot-2-inch defenseman had seven goals and 13 assists as a sophomore, and led the NCAA in plus\/minus with a plus-39. The Springfield, Vt., native led the post practice stretch after Wednesday\u2019s session, and enjoyed being able to spend more time with his Quinnipiac teammates.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Get Starting Point<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><label>Enter Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div><button>Sign Up<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>\u201cMason and Chris are some of my best buds,\u201d said Groenewold. \u201cMason\u2019s an unbelievable player, a very under-the-radar guy, so I\u2019m glad he\u2019s here and going to a camp.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Picked in the third round in 2023 at 92nd overall, Pelosi, 21, was third on the Bobcats in goals (18) and fourth in points (34) despite missing five games with an injury. He was selected to play for the US Collegiate Selects squad in the Spengler Cup in Davos, Switzerland, last December. He\u2019s looking to build off that as a junior.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI think just consistency is a big thing,\u201d said Pelosi. \u201cBeing consistent day in and day out.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Marcello, who was second on the team with 26 assists and tied for fourth in points with Pelosi, will be a free agent when his college career is up. Groenewold and Pelosi, however, seem to be very much in the Bruins\u2019 plans for the future, perhaps signing with the organization as early as the spring of 2027. The two will be roommates for the upcoming season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThey\u2019ve been excellent,\u201d said Bruins player development coordinator and college scout Parker MacKay. \u201cThey\u2019ve matured physically and mentally. They do a really good job at Quinnipiac of putting them through physical tests and helping them grow where they\u2019re at physically, and I think you can see that in both of their games. [They\u2019re] both excellent kids, relied on this week to be leaders, and they\u2019ve continued to grow every year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=4166\">MAGA base stays quiet after Trump reports billions in personal gains<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>With camp over, the trio will shift their focus to the upcoming season. They are part of a collection of veterans that returns from last year\u2019s squad that fell one win short of reaching the Frozen Four, losing in the regional final to North Dakota. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Included in that group is Calgary Flames draft pick Ethan Wyttenbach, who led the nation with 59 points (25 goals, 34 assists) and captured national rookie of the year honors, coming out on top of a field that included 2026 No. 1 overall pick Gavin McKenna.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>There had been speculation Wyttenbach would enter the transfer portal, with Big Ten schools rumored to be offering greater NIL packages, but he put that notion to rest with an Instagram post on April 1 announcing he was returning.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><span>The Bobcats will be favored to win a seventh consecutive ECAC title, as well as earn a trip to Washington, D.C., next April to play in the Frozen Four. The team is embracing the expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe have that conversation weekly,\u201d said Groenewold. \u201cWe have a group of guys that are putting a lot of work in this summer. We just kind of remind ourselves that that\u2019s the end goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHaving guys like Ethan back, it\u2019s just so awesome. It helps guys to be better in practice, having to go against a guy like that, it makes you a better player. It helps the whole team out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Marcellus was the first to announce he was returning on March 30, with Groenewold and Pelosi following suit soon after. Three weeks later, Marcellus was named captain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI think as a group we kind of realized the opportunity we have this year if everyone were to come back,\u201d said Marcellus. \u201cThat\u2019s something Ethan talked to me about, and Elliott and Chris both talked about those things, like if one of us is coming back, then we all want to come back, because our core group would be so good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=4164\">R.I. provided the \u2018first spark\u2019 for the American Revolution<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mason Marcellus, Chris Pelosi, and Elliott Groenewold teamed up Bruins development camp before heading back to Quinnipiac.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4169,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
