I envisioned Ralph sitting at the end of a long table stroking a cat while posting this.

I'll have to think about what strange rites you have been imagining.

...the USHL has just expanded their season http://www.ushl.com/news.php?action=detail&news_id=710

Then you have the BCHL which will be dropping from 60 games to 56 next season...

Heres an update on Gunnery. They played twice over the weekend, on Friday they defeated Loomis-Chaffee 11-1. JW scored two goals and had an assist. On Saturday, they defeated Pomfret 4-1. Wood scored a goal.

His line should now be 20-9-18-27-x


FWIW, also saw that Quinnipiac lost one of their top recruits for 2013 in F-Adam Gilmour. USHR expects to see him pop up at one of the Beanpot schools (just a guess Harvard isnt one of them). I dont like seeing fellow league schools losing recruits to the big boys but I have a feeling its a trend we are going to see more of in the future.

It just goes to the show that the verbal commit doesn't mean much anymore. If you're a small school, you almost NEED the NLI in order to make sure a kid is going to your college.

Going to hazard a guess that Northeastern will probably come up emptyhanded as well.

Totally agree on the sucktitude of this news.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2011-12 Part II

On Tuesday, the Vernon Vipers lost to the Merritt Centennials 7-1. Mike Zalewski had an assist and high sticking (double minor), interference, and slashing penalties. (I guess that he was ****ed.) http://www.bchl.ca/leagues/hockey_bo...7769&link=bchl

Zalewski's line is now 50-31-31-62-69.

April 11th this year is when the regular signing period begins for NLI, however that is for incoming freshmen for the 2012-13 school year. Sadly, there isn't much that can be done to protect the future recruits.

We do have the fact that SA can sell iceboxes to eskimos on our side. I can't believe that he and the staff doesn't stroke the recruits as much as is allowed.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2011-12 Part II

On Wednesday, the Des Moines Buccaneers lost to to the Sioux City Musketeers 5-2. Jason Kasdorf did not play. http://ushl2011.stats.pointstreak.co...gameid=1660344

Kasdorf's line is now 28-10-13-3-3.56-.892.


I predict that Kasdorf will play on Friday.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2011-12 Part II

Delbarton won 5-1 on Wednesday according to the school website but the website with boxscores is currently down. I got two Emails stating that he had 3 assists, so I have included that.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2011-12 Part II

RB: Melanson assisted on 3 of their first 4 goals-Delbarton just overwhelmed LaSalle(which was rated as the top high school team in eastern Pa). I have heard that Delbarton sat many of their top players for much of the third period and gave more ice time to their younger boys. I suspect Melanson had less ice time as the game went on. This was supposed to be a close fought battle between the top NJ prep school and the top Eastern Pa school but was one sided from the beginning. Delbarton may not face any real competition again until they might get Don Bosco Prep here in NJ in the playoffs.
