Beauregard had it, that's for sure.

But he has no eligibility left.

I would think that it takes a certain attitude to spend a lot of time practicing with little chance at much game time. Sanford, remember, is also apparently an excellent student, as IIRC, he had an 800 on the math SAT.

Probably be practice squad, if anything. Of course, Neubert, Harkenrider, and Coupal have had some time in net...

I thought more about it. There were other frosh on the club team who were forwards who could work out. Small, but we seem to like small.

As written before, it is quite a big jump from ACHA-2 to NCAA-I.

Interesting to see the Hoff brothers from Norway on the roster. Both have WJ experience -- wonder if they have D1 aspirations. ... I would think so. A quick search shows their dad played a few seasons at MSU and was a repeat Olympian for Norway.

I notice Magnus is a '93 -- that' d be one old freshman !!

Why else would a European go to the USHL instead of major junior? (I suspect that you thought of that also.)

I am NOT getting Phantoms season tickets if that happens.

Certainly would be a first - yes RB ?

Unless you count the years where we had zero recruits, you are probably correct.

It will be great if all our known recruits make the USHL -- and all on different teams.

Roster and Schedule is out for USA Hockey WJ eval camp - Aug. 3-10 in Lake Placid. Canucks, Finns and Swedes will also participate. A great hockey "fix" with high end talent in the heat of summer. I recommend it.

The #16 will be the tall kid playing for our club team...I have no inside info, just throwing a log onto the fire and seeing what everyone thinks.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13 (Part III)

So the next question then becomes... what's the real story on the Letter of Intent and its limitations? Is RPI burning a redshirt year with Melanson staying in the USHL?

That's an interesting thought. We could be burning it, but besides for transfers I can't recall the last time we had something other than an injury redshirt, and that we could still apply for.
