No, it is an important observation. Perhaps there was a reason for a rather slow start for Drew in the USHL? Two things are for certain-he will not be taking a lot of penalties anywhere he plays and he will always look to set up his teammates before taking his own shot. (although i do expect him to be shooting more as he progresses)

You're right. He doesn't shoot that much, and consequently he has the highest shooting percentage on teh team http://ushl2011.stats.pointstreak.co...&seasonid=9358 and fifth hghest on the league http://ushl2011.stats.pointstreak.co...58&sortby=spct.

this will indeed be interesting to see how next year unfolds. We've come to rely (?) on 30pts from Nicky the past 3 years from the blueline. Watching about a dozen Edina games this year I haven't seen much of an offensive input from Reno....not to say he can't become capable at it. As far as stepping into that role next year I'm still confident that might be Hampton.

He is defintely played a primarily defensive role. I expect Dolan and perhaps Hampton to attempt to fill Bailen's role, but more likely, besides for blasts from teh point, we won't rely on dmen scoring much.

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

I'd think Bokenfohr more than Hampton (he did see some power play time this year), but obviously we can argue that one on the main thread. Perhaps it's a good thing that we don't have a roving D-man? You can almost tell that D-corps that don't stay home drives Appert and Vines crazy. If Reno is playing the stay-at-home nothing-gets-by-you type with a solid one-timer, I'd be happy.

Yep, main thread topic. Even better will be in the offseason -- starting in April.

Hey, I'm just glad we survived until DST this year.

But some of our recruits didn't. (Got to keep this on topic. )

Obviously, we have a rather small sample of two, but the ones to watch are the NY ones, although some are probably committed already.

It wouldn't surprise me if some of our committed recruits whose seasons have ended might show up this weekend at the HFH. (Also others?)

What kid are you referring to?

I was sure he meant Bracco, but ...

[turk181]

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

Yes, Jeremy Bracco. He played for Portledge & I've seen him play the last 2 years vs Alb. Acad. Plus a game with the LI Gulls. The kid is an absolute magician with the puck on his stick and his saucer passes are pinpoint. All this while he was 14 & 15 yrs. old.....amazing talent.
