NAHL.com is reporting that the Badgers have landed a commitment from Alaska Avalanche goaltender Landon Peterson. Peterson, an Oregon, WI native had a 2.74 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage in 45 games for Alaska.

Cooper Watson is Cliff Watson's brother, they were defensive partners for Appleton United this season. Also, I think you are correct about Nick Schmaltz being Jordan's brother.

I know Nick Schmaltz is Jordan's brother, I'm just not sure why he's listed as Illinois.

I agree that Linaker might of had more of an impact then Navin for this season, but they may of not had enough scholarship money going forward if they brought in another recruit with only Smith as Almington mentioned likily leaving after next season.

Alberta Junior Hockey League forward Reed Linaker from the St. Albert Steel has informed me that he has committed to Penn State for 2012.

I don't know why Eaves brought Navin in instead of Linaker.......

Kind of a kick in the balls, if we had room for him in 2012.

I suspect that with 3 forwards already lined up for 2012, and no senior forwards on the roster (Little will be a 4th year player as a RS JR) and one expected early departure (Smith) roster spots are getting a little tight.

Re: Wisconsin Recruiting: What are you going to do, when NHL-U, comes calling for you

The OHL draft was this weekend for 1995 born players. 3 players from Wisconsin were selected. Hudson's Ian McCoshen was taken by Saginaw (6th round). Sun Prairie's Will Butcher was taken by Windsor (10th round). And Hudson's Travis Wood was taken by Erie (11th round).

McCoshen plans to play for Waterloo (USHL) next year, and Butcher has signed on with the NTDP. Wood, despite being taken last out of the three is the most likely to play in the OHL and I'm told it's a really good chance that it happens. He's only a freshman in high school right now so he'll likely be back with his HS team next season (Hill Murray in the cities).
