Apologies if this has been posted before, but here is video of Mark Miller training

It's indeed new. Does this mean that some players are already on campus?

Stellar signing by Appert & Staff...kudos to them. Highest profile forward signing since D'Amigo/Pirri. That said, given the commitment shell game world that D1 hockey fans find ourselves in today, I will withhold my elation until I see him skate onto the ice HFH. (Please god, I don't ask for much.)

I promise-you will be amazed by his skating. Scoring is a different story-he will have to develop and prove he can do that at the NCAA I level. But I seriously doubt most have his speed.

talking with a CBJ scout yesterday in Lake Placid even he commented about our lack of scoring.

What does he expect from York?

If I did that exercise with even a fraction of the weight he's hefting, they'd be scraping up my knee parts with a shovel.

Although players are likely on campus (or in Troy, at least) by now, that video doesn't seem to have been shot on campus.

Thanks. I don't know well what RPI's training facility looks like.

You gotta love that confidence. And who knows, maybe he can deliver.

His USHL baptism will start early....Omaha starts the season with 8 straight road games, while construction of their new arena is completed (they hope).

I did see the video of Puckman there.

This should close this thread. See everyone in the off-season thread for a while.


Edit: Oops it's 1000 replies, not psots, that closes threads.

What does he expect from York?

He pretty much lumped all the goalies who will be in camp together. They expect "all" of them to compete....it's open competition....no-ones the clear favorite. He was however impressed by Allen's work in his brief stint at the NHL level given all the bouncing around he was subject to. You get pretty much a standard answer from all the scouts when you ask direct questions, " I just scout 'em", which is true but sometimes they share a little more. It was kind of funny yesterday as they played both games in the Herb Brooks Arena, usually they play in the much smaller (stands wise) 1930 Rink. Instead of being grouped together in the smaller bleacher seating they were spread all over away from each other guarding their "secrets". I did try to find someone from St.Louis to ask about Chase but I couldn't find them. If they didn't have a shirt or jacket on with the team logo it was tough.
