Like his "partner" McEvoy, Devin is satisfied with Cleary's strategy of alternating netminders.
"We're pretty competitive during practice, and I think it's good for both of us," he said. "It tends to keep you sharp over the course of the season."
The only potential conflict of interest between the two, in fact, may not occur until the Beanpot tournament gets underway in February.
Both Devin and McEvoy hail from the Boston area. And both Devin, from Braintree, and McEvoy, from Falmouth, are looking forward to playing in the tournament that determines the unofficial champion of Boston collegiate hockey.
"We both want to play in that one," McEvoy said.
"I hope he plays the first game and wins," Devin said slyly. "And then I play in the second game--the championship."
The Beanpot, however, is still a long way off. In the meantime, expect Harvard's dynamic duo to generate a lot of sparks during the Crimson's quest for a league title.
