95 G Sean Cleary (Victoria) commits to Mass-Lowell. Big goaltender with great athleticism, moves well around the crease.

@McCarthyOTB Cleary had a strong showing at Pre Draft playing against a very talented @EC_Kings team - very active in crease, nice reactions

Nice to see a mass kid... not too many of those these days as hockey recruiting has gone national.

If he can play at this level, this is a good pick-up in that if he's not getting much $ (and I doubt he is at this point), at least being a Mass kid, his tuition won't be ridiculously high.

Over the Boards says he's a recruited walk-on. No surprise there.

Lowell picks up another commitment from Left Center Connor Wilson, who has played three years for Camrose (AJHL). He finished this season with a 25-42-67 in 55 GP. From Calgary, AB, he's 5'9, 160 and born 4/5/95.

Canmore press release. http://www.canmoreeagles.ca/media-ce...ml?newsID=6945

For Wilson, who received five different Division One offers, the scholarship from Lowell is a dream come true.
“I wanted to make sure that I had the right fit and the University of Massachusetts Lowell was my first choice, so it wasn’t a difficult decision to commit,” said Wilson, who will be joining longtime friend John Edwardh (former Okotoks Oiler) on the Lowell roster.

98 D Jake Ryczek (Sioux City) decommitted from UNH today. Talented, mobile defender from Ludlow, MA likely has lot of Hockey East interest.

Maine picked up a couple of '99s over the last month or so. Still nothing on the Lowell side.

Even before the Championship, PC was doing a great job...

and BU keeps loading up on the recruits.

Tweets from Jeff Cox @JeffCoxSports:

-Big win on recruiting trail for Boston University as US NTDP U17 goalie Jake Oettinger commits to Terriers. Every top program wanted him.
-BU staff continues dominance on recruiting trail. Oettinger is big goalie, great numbers w/ NTDP, huge get for BU stealing kid out of Minny.

Over The Boards @OTBPuckWatch:

-98 G Jake Oettinger (@USANTDP) commits to BU. Huge add in net for Terriers, 6'3 MN native had a great year at NTDP with 2.57 and .916 SV%.

No surprise, Ryczek is heading to Providence.

Proud to announce my commitment to Providence College to play hockey! Thanks to everyone who's helped me along the way. #GoFriars

Would assume Jeff McCarthy is coming in this year with Jeff Smith leaving the program.

I'm not familiar with that name. I thought Garret Metcalf and Sean Cleary were the goaltending commits?
