The Ducks will closely monitor how Troy Terry’s junior season at the University of Denver progresses – or culminates. They’ll be expected to put on a full-court press toward signing the forward prospect once it is done.

Neither the Ducks nor Kurt Overhardt, Terry’s Denver-based adviser, would comment on whether any communication is taking place between the two. It is believed that Todd Marchant, the Ducks’ director of player development, has visited with Terry on occasion, as he does with all of their college prospects.

Terry, a fifth-round pick in 2015, was one of four college players on the U.S. Olympic team, and became one of its top forwards by the time the tournament ended.

Denver is playing rival Colorado College in the best-of-3 National Collegiate Hockey Conference playoffs this weekend. Terry has 11 goals and 26 assists in 32 games for the Pioneers this season.
