Almost sounds as though he is going to stay at Hopkins.

Travis Boyd, forward, Hopkins, entering his freshman year
Boyd already has skated at a hectic pace and the summer break is only a few weeks old. He spent a week at Model Camp at the University of Minnesota and worked with the Minnesota Select 15s for a week in St. Cloud.
That is on top of the workouts he goes through with his high school team and as a member of the Minnesota Lightning Triple-A team.
Boyd's preferred schedule has him sleeping in late, hanging out with his friends during the day and heading to the rink at night. "I'll stay on the ice as late as I can,'' Boyd said. "Until they kick me off.''
Boyd, who competed for the Hopkins varsity as an eighth-grader last season, said he has been a hockey nut "all my life."
"My brother [Brandon, four years his senior] started me on it when I was 3,'' Boyd said. "I just love it. I've always played against guys older than me. That just made me better.''
Hopkins coach Chad Nyberg reserves an hour of ice time on Monday nights during the summer. If Boyd has missed a night in the past three years, he said, it was because of another hockey commitment.
Boyd has been invited to skate with the U.S. Select 15s in St. Cloud in early August. He is on the fast track to realizing his dream of playing major college hockey. Already he has received letters from Wisconsin, Colorado College and Maine.
"I would love to hear from the Gophers,'' Boyd said. To be sure, they know he's out there.
