Maine Recruit Updates: All Are Welcome.......

Re: Maine Recruit Updates: All Are Welcome.......

I thought the 16/17 recruits were all set? Nine in all two of which are goalies. No Michaud this year.

My one question mark is Cam Spicer. He is listed as signing his LOI early and if he is not in camp that means we only have 7 D unless Hayes moves back to the blue line? Undoubtedly on paper this is our best class in a long time. Now who can we count on to stop the puck?

Re: Maine Recruit Updates: All Are Welcome.......

Heisenberg still lists Michaud, who is the grandson of John Huard, UMaine football legend, as coming to Orono in 2016. But Heisenberg has 12 players, including 8 forwards, coming this fall, which is probably a couple more than we have room for, so something's got to give.

Michaud is a '97 so he wouldn't have to come in until 2018. I agree, some kids will be pushed back and some will probably never show up.

Has anyone heard if/when he decommitted? He hasn't had a great year in the USHL but it is nice to see kids from Maine on the team.

What years Red been telling the donors hes winning the national title again? 19? I believe the kids today say "lol"

Gendron has been telling groups that he meets with that Maine will be competing for a national title in the 2017-20018 season.

Re: Maine Recruit Updates: All Are Welcome.......

So this isn't the year when Red finally gets his own class of guys he really wanted, instead of a mix of TIMMAY guys and guys he had to settle for after all the good ones were gone? That's next year?

Yep, I'm saying all that.

You said "It's NCAA tourney time!!" to which I responded with the same answer I have given in this and other forums. Maine will not challenge for the NCAA tournament this year. I am hopeful Maine gets home ice for the Hockey East first round this year. I expect Maine will challenge for the NCAA tournament in 2017-18, especially if Hockey East can get five or six teams into the field again. With any luck that will also line up with the school hosting the regional in Portland.

2017-18.

And I suppose next year, it'll actually be the year after that, and then the year after, and of course, we'll have to extend Red's contract again, cvause we wouldn't want to disrupt the recruiting, and the solid path he's set the team on, and so on and so on...............................

These freshmen are supposed to be so much better. You know, the first class Red can truly call his own. Three draft picks!!!!!!

If they're as good as everyone's talking them up to be, I find it hard to see any of them sitting in favor of who we have on the current team.

I don't think Vesey's sitting either. But he's gonna have to up his game from what we saw last year if he wants to be on one of the top lines.

It's all hype until they produce.

Re: Maine Recruit Updates: All Are Welcome.......

How many freshman had 11 pts last year? Vesey isn't sitting . Hayes will be playing.
