Sifferlen officially no longer committed to UMass Lowell. Wish him nothing but best. He'll make a very good d3 or Atlantic player.

Sorry to hear that. The best of luck to Tyler.

Was this a mutual decision?

France won the tournament and has been promoted to a higher division for next year. LeClerc finished with 1-5-6 +4 and earned some kind of top forward award:

Providence continues to load up. I'm not sure what happened at Penn State but Leaman was willing to take him.

@OverTheBoards
95 F Scott Conway (@PentictonVees) commits to PC. Friars offense get a big boost - 77 pts in 36 games, had 26 pts as a fr. at PSU last year.

They may not be playing good hockey, but Maine's recruiting has really picked up. Two Red Bull Austria commitments in the last 24 hours (both '99s). They've got at least four potential draft picks committed already.

Good move for him. He'll excel and be a superstar there. Wasn't progressing and developing enough for DI so good fit for him.

Stinks for Lowell that he wasn't able to fit into D1, but good for him to continue his playing days.

And in the meantime, Lowell continues to have the smallest recruiting class for 2017...

[UML Puck Hawk]

Re: UML Recruiting Thread, 2014 and beyond

4 Forwards, 1 Defenseman, and a goalie to replace 5 forwards (although Fallon/Francis basically count as 1 everyday forward), no D, and 1 Goalie. [for 2016]

Flight risks are CJ Smith and Zink, plus maybe we lose one of the sophomores to a transfer?

I wrote all this thinking you were commenting on 2016, now realizing you said 2017, and wow seems like some work needs to get done/they are keeping recruits a secret (I don't believe this, but here's to hoping).

The program is certainly over due for some news. Is new assistant coach Andy Jones the lead recruiter now? I wonder if he brought some new contacts with him from Clarkson. Not surprising, the current Clarkson roster has a good number of player's from the OJHL &, CJHL. Currently Lowell has one player on the roster from those leagues (Collins).
