Re: Colgate offseason speculations

I'm looking forward to the Spink twins playing at Starr, as well as the other frosh from Cornwall. Want to see how they mesh with this year's holdovers and what they can produce early in the season. First few weeks are key, as we found out this year with UNO, Miami and Ferris. A few wins or splits here and there might have produced different results. Also hope we can avoid the post holiday slump next time - that was a killer

Checked the Cornwall Colts site yest(bored). . Last playoff game they were the three stars of the game(one didn't make it). They won their first playoff series 4-1 and they all have between like 5 and 10 points. Spink boys have ridiculous point totals and Borokowski is on fire now also.

Two of them are first team all stars, one second team, and I believe the other third team. Baun is listed as a "power forward" at 6-1 204# and the Spink bros are listed at 178 and 185 lbs, up from 155 lbs last year.

Now I know this isn't Major Juniors but it's Tier 1 Jr A and supposedly a major feeder to college hockey and right there with the USHL . Are these guys that good or is it a weaker league, I really don't know.

Austin Smith scored a shootout goal last night in the Stars win. Congrats, first point in three games.

Johnston and Lough, two d-men from that same league and also '12 'Gate recruits, were the first team all-star defensemen in that league as well.

Re: Colgate offseason speculations

Congratulations to Austin. Well deserved. Took an exceptional effort and results on his part to get the national recognition.

Re: Colgate offseason speculations

Excuse my stupidity. I just realized that the old thread was closed, I was wondering why no one was talking anymore.

I could not be happier for Austin, his team mates, the coaches and the program. I think this may give Colgate some power in the recruiting battles, along with Union winning the National Championship hopefully. Lots of national attention with Maine and UMD. If I was recruiting, I'd be on the road all week beating my chest saying "you can come to Colgate as one of the top players in the country".

Smith got his first assist last night. Shootout goal previously.

Re: Colgate offseason speculations

I was just reading the tail end of the 2011-12 thread and saw the note about the two McNamara bros leaving AC early. It occurred to me that I never heard what happened to Kevin this year ...was he injured, did he fall out of favor or something else? Seems like a bonehead move to leave AC early when one of you is a Captain and the other should be looking for more playing time next year...

Kevin missed just about all of the second half due to an upper body injury.
