It's really not much different from when the Canadian major junior leagues poach from colleges.

It's not personal, it's business.

Pretty hard ball stance (the ultimatum) Alberni took with their captain and AC...I guess I can understand it -- like everyone else they're sick of having their guys poached from the U.

Wow! you don't often get such straight Q/A's, I like it............ He also mentioned there was some pressure from the coach of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he is committed to play his hockey at for the 2014-15 season, to play in Green Bay before leaving for college. - See more at: http://www.avtimes.net/tironese-loug....wRFKbPNO.dpuf

However, Tironese said he never actually wanted to leave the Bulldogs, but felt forced to do so once he flew to Green Bay for the Gambler's camp.

But he wasn't at their camp.

Thanks - great catch WCT. "RPI (pressure) wasn't as bad, but I knew that they wanted me [in Green Bay] for sure," Tironese said.

Told ya RB...

.I posted two teams for Fornaris and Tironese since there is some question.

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

RB - Intriguing for sure. There's nothing to prevent him from joining GB, even if he starts in Alberni, is there?

I doubt it.

It is conceivably possible that Green Bay gave him a waiver to not have to participate in camp. Perhaps he was injured/sick or it was a way to save him the airfare since I wouldn't think that the USHL is allowed to pay him to get there. Then again he may just be on the roster to keep other USHL team from going after him.

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

Most of this is already known, but I have just learned second hand (or maybe third) that Fornaris, Manley , Melanson, Moore, and Tironese are all on their USHL team's 30-man roster. Prapavessis is on Lincoln's affiliate list meaning that they can call him up during the year.

Yes indeed Green Bay has used a spot for Tironese. We should learn where he will be soon since Alberni Valley plays an exhibition game in under three weeks. Also the 30-man rosters still will have cuts. It is just about time to start a new thread too.

RB - Intriguing for sure. There's nothing to prevent him from joining GB, even if he starts in Alberni, is there?

She could play on my team anytime.

You didn't perform a certain operation on her?
