This time, 18-year-old Cam Brown was a standout. ...it may take him some time to adjust to playing against much bigger, college players On the other hand, he might develop into Maine's version of Nate Gerbe.

A player develop under Timmay? Yeah right.

The Manchester Jr. Monarchs repeated as league champion for the 2nd consecutive year. Cam Brown had an assist on the game winning goal. Connor Leen scored on a rebound for one of the Jersey Hitmen's goals at the Ice Vault. Final score 3 - 2.

Re: Maine Recruit Updates: Monarchs and More......

On the heels of one of the more disappointing weekends of Maine Hockey in tournament play and and not prepared to weigh in on the other thread I found an interesting report on a Maine recruit that is not reported elsewhere. Swann Boisvert also of Stanstead is supposedly headed to Orono next year. It is the same school that Dylan Gareau is at, here is the report http://www.sherbrookerecord.com/content/view/598587/33/

One part I liked was that he is big. Tired of watching Maine get pushed around as we did this weekend. The first report on this was in late February, but not listed on Heisenberg. Sure hope some of these guys can put the puck in the net!

Came across another article on the Stanstead duo

“I am so proud of Swann’s development over the past three seasons. He’s living proof that anything is possible when talent is combined with determination.”

The Stanstead coach doesn't know how right he is.

We'll see what happens.

It took quite awhile for Chris H. to confirm Boisvert. I sent him an e-mail about three weeks ago along with the news article. Probably backlogged or waiting for positive confirmation.

Well guess we both had emailed him on this one. He does a great job and we get to read it for free. Blame it on slow postage service from Canada!

Re: Maine Recruit Updates: Monarchs and More......

I found this info on the top shelf site about Gilbert. He's 5'11" 173 lbs. (left wing). I hope we don't lose him.

"Jared is in his fourth year with the Marlboro organization. He was a member of the champion Toronto Titans at the
International MM Prospect Tournament. He was a GTHL Minor Bantam champion in 2009 and was a GTHL semi-finalist
in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2010. Jared's other interests include golf and basketball. He was his high school's
Top Athlete in his freshman year and also is a member of the Honour Roll. He will graduate in 2012."

The recruiting still looks pretty good,on paper.

Perhaps if Maine gets enough talent on the ice,the head coach won't be so much a factor anymore..?

Interview with future Maine goalie Matt Morris! Morris is slated either for fall of 2012 or 2013, much will depend on how the duo develops this year!

Almost any Div-1 recruit is going to look pretty good on paper with their nice Jr/Prep stats; the real question is how do Maine's recruits compare to those from other HE schools. On the surface, it looks like Maine is still well behind BC, BU and probably UNH in that regard. Maine isn't landing too many Nyquists these days, so player development is of the utmost importance and am not sure if TIMMAY is up to that task.

Just spotted this. Maine has another forward for next year John Parker of Muskegon of the USHL, looks like a good pick-up, but definitely not a sniper!

He had been a UMass commit for a while, and then de-committed.

Just don't call him Jack.

Looks like a decent depth addition. One positive thing I noticed: Muskegon was not a great team. Parker was one of the few players with a positive +/-, and he was the leading point-getter among the handful of + players.

So . . . a solid, backchecking defensive forward?

post 10k?!? yikes
