    Pretty close to my selections, not sure what meds I was taking with regard to my RPI pick.

    TV ratings for this year's FF were way up. I guess that's not surprising since the bar was set pretty low in previous years. http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-re...04/frozenfour/

          Pre-Parade 2014-15 Lineup Prediction

          Ciampini---Vecchione---Scarfo
          Wilkins---Lichtenwald---Pontarelli
          Cruice---Novak---Shier
          Coatta---Ammirato---Bennett

          Taylor---Desimone
          Gingras---Light
          Vasaturo---Henry

          Stevens
          Alex
          Pieri

          2014-15 Recruits:

          Connor Light, 6'5'' Defenseman: "He has quick feet and good skill for a guy that big," says his prep coach, a former player at Yale University. The size is what caught most scouts' attention immediately, but upon further review there is more to Light's game than just his size. He'll play the body, but he's a smart player who knows the intricacies of the game. "He has tremendous gap control and a heavy shot."
          More info on Connor: http://www.sbncollegehockey.com/2013...a-lancers-ushl

          Nick Desimone, 6'1'' Defenseman: "DeSimone’s offensive game has been outstanding this year and his ability to contribute offensively is very likely one of the biggest reasons Union stepped up its recruiting efforts. Not only is he the second leading scorer for the Junior Sabres with 8 goals & 19 assists for 27 points in 24 games, but DeSimone currently ranks first overall in scoring amongst all OJHL defenseman despite being in his first year in the league."
          More info on Nick: http://wnyhockeyprospects.com/?p=3534

          Ryan Scarfo, 6'0'' Forward: "He can become a high-end guy who scores and defends against the opposition's top lines. Union has a steal; he's someone who will help lead them to many more Frozen Four appearances."
          More info on Ryan: http://unionhockeyblog.blogspot.com/...an-scarfo.html

          Roman Ammirato, 5'7'' Center: “Roman brings an element to the power play and on the offensive side of the puck,” he said. “Defensively he is also very sound. To place expectations on a player at this point would not be fair, however I feel he will add great depth to our offensive punch, and be a contributor night-in and night-out. Now The one thing I do expect from Roman like all our players is to be a great teammate and a leader."
          More info on Roman: http://amarillobulls.pointstreaksite...732/news_78584

          Kevin Shier, 6'0'' Forward: "Kevin is a gifted offensive player with a quick and accurate shot," Fortier said. "He has quick hands and is an amazing team first player. Look for Kevin to bring a smile to the rink everyday and bring an ability to score big goals."
          More info on Kevin: http://unionhockeyblog.blogspot.com/...-for-next.html

          Tyler Hynes, 5'11'' Forward: "He can be a great second or third line player," said Kaufman, who played Division I hockey at Miami (Ohio) from 2005-2009. "He'll play in front of the net on a power play, he's very good on the penalty kill, and he'll be a great energy guy. He'll finish checks, block shots, and do a lot of things not a lot of people are willing to do." Local product from Guilderland, also played with Jeff Taylor prior to Union.

              Lots of good choices, but I could see Coatta or Vasaturo in line to be captain or one of the alternates.

                    I expect Tyler Hynes will be a factor next year as well. Remember, the USHL is substantially stronger than other junior leagues available to college players (only Tier 1 league in US). USHL players seem able to step right in. See Taylor and Lichtenwald.

                          And still more on the Parade ......

                          SCHENECTADY, N.Y.--It's celebration day in Schenectady. A parade will be held Thursday in honor of the national championship won by the Union College men's hockey team.
                          The Dutchmen won their first ever national championship last weekend, after defeating the Minnesota Golden Gophers, 7-4.

                          The parade steps off at 4 p.m. in front of Alumni Gym on campus. It will head towards Messa Rink, travel to Nott Street, Seward Place, Union Street, and Jay Street before culminating at city hall.

                          The hockey team will be riding in style on four fire trucks along the parade route. Also included in the parade will be local youth hockey players, bagpipers, and the Union College pep band.

                              I agree with you, Hynes started putting up some pretty impressive numbers after his trade to Fargo. I think he may end up being the freshman that is most likely to contribute right away.
