BOSTON – The Boston University men's ice hockey program has added defensemen Joseph Campolieto and Thomas Jarman to the 2020-21 roster, head coach Albie O'Connell announced on Friday. Both are eligible to compete immediately. 
 
"I'm excited to welcome Thomas and Joseph to our program," O'Connell said. "Thomas is a big, strong, smooth-skating defensive defenseman that will help us on the penalty kill and in our own zone. Joseph is more of a puck mover. He's going to be really good at breaking the puck out for us, and he's a tough kid who can also defend. Both players will add depth to our lineup and I'm looking forward to watching them compete for us."
 
Campolieto, a senior transfer from Union, has played in 81 career games at the Division I level. He notched a career-best five assists for the Dutchmen last season and also had a stellar rookie campaign in 2017-18, totaling seven points (3g, 4a) and finishing the year as the team's leader in plus-minus (+13). Prior to his stint at Union, Campolieto appeared in 49 games for the Tri-City Storm of the USHL, scoring five goals and chipping in 14 assists.
 
Jarman arrives in Boston after a stellar career as a defenseman with the Maryland Black Bears of the North American Hockey League, where he was teammates with current Terrier sophomore Wilmer Skoog. Jarman enjoyed his best year with the Black Bears in 2019-20, notching four goals and 13 assists for 17 points in 50 games. Through 13 contests this season, Jarman tallied five points (2g, 3a).
 
BU will open its 2020-21 season on Friday night when the Terriers host Providence at Walter Brown Arena at 6 p.m.
