FWIW, Ben Ostlie was a teammate of Parker Reno three years ago in Edina http://www.mnhockeyhub.com/roster/sh...ubseason=16427. They would have been two years ago also if Reno hadn't missed the season due to injury.

On Sunday, the Omaha Lancers defeated the Sioux Falls Stampede 5-1. Drew Melanson had no points or penalties. http://ushl2011.stats.pointstreak.co...gameid=1978048

Melanson's line is now 24-4-5-9-2.

RPI Scout was at Wednesday's Cedar Rapids Roughriders vs Lincoln Stars game. I have been told he was in Cedar Rapids lockerroom talking to Clark Kuster '95 offensive defenseman.

Thanks for the heads-up. His page http://ushl2011.stats.pointstreak.co...&seasonid=9358. Interesting if we got both him and Manley in 2014 to replace LeBoeuf and Dolan. Of course, viewing those two plus Reno to replace Bailen, LeBoeuf, and Dolan fits much better, and that could be what SA is thinking.

1st Rd. pick (22nd overall) by Cedar Rapids out of the St. Louis Blues AAA (REDaero will like that).

Perhaps a 2014 possibility, based upon age and need for D-men?

isn't Manley still just a Jr. (HS)?

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13

Yes. Turns 17 in July. Since Ralph is talking about replacing Leboeuf and Dolan, he really means 2014.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13

(REDaero will like that).

Good point.

Have we ever had a player from Missouri? (Men's team, that is. Rosina Schiff '05 doesn't count.)

Yes, I meant 2014. I fixed the post.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13

If I had to guess by watching him, he would need another year in the USHL. While he is progressing, he needs to understand defensive responsibilities a little more.

Here is the highlight video from Wednesday. At the 1:14 mark Kuster shows a quick wrister from the point that finds the net.

another one from earlier in the year that shows his ability to get into the rush:

That second video really makes it looks like he would fit in well as a replacement for Bailen. Also a nice goal by Bourbonnais later in that video. Thanks again.

Of course, just talking to a player might only be to feel him out as to interest.


Edit: SA mentioned on a tweet on Thursday that he was going to go recruiting and on Friday that he was doing so, so it was someone else representing RPI on Wednesday.
