Patrick Harper is a Connecticut-born forward who has played the last two seasons for Avon Old Farms prep school in his home state. After he graduates this year, he has committed to Boston University for the fall, and will be playing there for the near future. However, it is also worth noting that he was drafted by the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada of the QMJHL last year, but is instead choosing to go to college.
Elite Prospects has Harper standing at a rather short 5'8" and weighing only 154. So he is a small center who will need to beef up, even for the collegiate level.
