When Rathbone graduates, he will have something to fall back on after the NHL. Harvard's graduates include: 8 US Presidents, 30 heads of state, 188 Billionaires 364 Rhodes Scholars 160 Nobel winners 48 Pulitzer Prizes 108 Olympic Medals Don't think Harvard as a place that you're "wasting your life".

JC2 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 When is he going to graduate? It feels like Rathebone has been in the system forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a sophomore, so this year plus two more... unless he leaves early. Many do - Hughes did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see him leaving early honestly, unless the Canucks guarantee him a spot on the roster. Like previous posters have said, getting a degree from Harvard is like finding the golden ticket and almost guarantees a lucrative career in the real world while making the NHL full time is a long shot even if a player is skilled enough.

Whorvat Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I don't have the exact source, it was somewhere on these forums, but wasn't it the idea that Rathbone is likely to go pro after this season? I feel like there was an interview with him where he says his goal is to go pro as soon as possible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be surprising if he decided to stay for the full 4. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no guaranteed spots for ANYONE! Teams that want to compete, don't give spots away, they are earned. I think Rathbone has a bright future with this team, but he will likely need at least one year in Utica. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a fair bit of scuttlebutt that he plans on going pro after this season. Likely spend a year or so in the AHL after he's done this year at Harvard. He can always finish his degree, as many players do, remotely. Edited November 5, 2019 by aGENT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastCanuck Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 My best friend who is DoH at Dartmouth texted me after the game about Rathbone. “He is just really f-n good” I would assume that if Rathbone has the kind of season that Fox had last year then we will see him turn pro in the spring. I kind of assume Fox played 3 years because he wanted to use the leverage of playing his senior year and going ufa to force a trade of his rights. He seemed pretty dead set on going to the Rangers. Also while his sophomore year was still pretty excellent it really wasn’t as good as his freshman year statistically. The funny coincidence is Jimmy Vesey of Harvard was also drafted 66th overall left the spring before Fox came in i believe and we all know how he took the 4 years to go ufa and also head to the Rangers...

He is a Mass native, so in theory he could have taken classes in the spring and summer in order to accelerate his degree. I am simply speculating.

Knucklehd Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Great to hear how Rathbone is doing. Is there much of a difference in QoC when playing for Harvard vs Boston College's or Northeastern type schools. Those that traditionally have a prominent hockey pedigree.

Ray_Cathode Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Rathbone: 2gp 2g 3a 5pts, but the stretch passes on two of those assists were amazing - one from near his goal line to the opposite blue line, across the ice to the far wing for the breakaway with seconds left in the period. Wow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronic.Canuck Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I don't think we have to worry about Jack Rathbone's character or him bolting to free agency. This is the same guy that stayed home an extra year when he could have started his college career so he could be at home with his younger brother who needed the support. Great to hear he's off to a torrid start to the season! We got a gem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! Yup, both passes were quick too...like he looked up and it was off his stick. That will be a valuable asset to the Canucks going forward.

There is definitely a difference in the quality of competition. Their league (ECAC) is a lesser league than hockey east which includes teams (Northeastern, Boston College and Boston University). There is a reason majority of the USNTP go to hockey east because it's a better league. What difference there is I cannot say but I wouldn't say the difference is too extreme.
