Top Isles Prospect Trivino Arrested

According to an article by Art Jahnke in BU Today, Islanders 2008 2nd-rd, 36th overall pick Corey Trivino has been arrested and charged with 3 counts of indecent assault & battery after he allegedly attempted to enter the room of a female student, kissing and groping her against her will.  The 21 year old Trivino was also charged with night time breaking and entering and assault with attempt to rape.  He was said to be intoxicated at the time.


Trivino was the leading scorer in Hockey east this season and he has been kicked off Boston University’s hockey team.  Head Coach, Jack Parker says Trivino has been permanently removed from the team. “He is no longer associated with the BU hockey team.”  Trivino, said Parker, may have been the team’s most valuable player and will be very difficult to replace.  It is being reported that Trivino was warned once before about another bout of intoxication and that if a second one occured, he would be removed from the team.

Trivino is a talneted forward with scoring ability who uses his vision and creativity to set up team mates in the offensive zone.

Corey Trivino has pleaded not guilty. Bail was set at $25,000 or to surrender his Canadian passport to authorities.

Only time will tell what the future will hold for Mr. Trivino.  I hope he gets the help he needs and he can recover from this. 


I also send my best wishes to the female student involved in this horrible situation.

Update:  Former Boston University men’s hockey forward Corey Trivino is no longer being charged with assault with intent to rape, the most serious of seven charges stemming from a Dec. 11 incident, due to insufficient evidence, officials said.  B.D. Gallof mentions, “Trivino: still faces 6 felony charges: 3 counts of indecent assault and battery and 3 counts of breaking and entering in nighttime.”
