Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2015-16 Part II

NLI is signed if the player is to receive a full athletic scholarship. It is possible that some of the players are able to receive financial aid by other means and don't get full scholarships (not sure if the NLI still applies to partial scholarships, which is done in cases like these), or come in as "walk-ons".

I think that it is any amount of athletic scholarship. Personally, I think that he just didn't tweet it and his team or someone else didn't either.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2015-16 Part II

FWIW, the USHL Phase I and Phase II drafts will be held on 5/2/16 and 5/3/16, respectively. http://www.ushl.com/page/show/1209133-ushl-draft. Phase I is just for players born in 2000, so no known RPI recruits will be involved. Phase II is for anyone not currently protected. Jon Bendorf is already property of Madison. I suspect that others will be drafted. Cory Babichuk, Jacob Modry, and Emil Ohrvall could be drafted. If Austin, Cho doesn't go to RPI in the fall, he would have to be drafted again since Cedar Rapids did not protect him.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2015-16 Part II

Congrats to Todd Burgess on receiving the same three honors for the entire NAHL which he won for the Midwest Division, MVP, Forward of the Year, and All Star Team. http://nahl.com/news/story.cfm?id=18001

Burgess, 20, had one of the better individual seasons in recent NAHL history. The native of Phoenix, Arizona, who is committed to play NCAA Division I hockey at RPI, recorded 95 points, which was the most in a season by an NAHL player since Pat Maroon (Edmonton Oilers) had 95 points during the 2006-07 season for the St. Louis Bandits. Burgess (6’2/185) was also selected to and played in the 2016 NAHL Top Prospects Tournament for the NAHL Selects Team, where he had three points in two games. He is currently one of 11 players with NAHL tied ranked in the final NHL Central Scouting rankings for the 2016 NHL Draft. In his three-year NAHL career, Burgess recorded 145 points in 147 regular season games.

The part of the article dealing with TB:

Todd Burgess, Ice Dogs win NAHL season awards

Danny Martin Dmartin@newsminer.com


FAIRBANKS — The preseason goals that Fairbanks Ice Dogs center Todd Burgess set for himself didn’t include the North American Hockey League’s Most Valuable Player and Forward of the Year awards.

“I obviously didn’t set them that high,” Burgess said by cellphone. “I was a three-year guy who needed to step in, be an impact player and be one of the go-to guys. Those were my goals going into the season.”

Burgess was voted as the NAHL Most Valuable Player and Forward of the Year, announced Thursday, for the impact he made with the Ice Dogs and the Tier II Junior A league in the regular season. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound native of Phoenix led the league in scoring and helped Fairbanks post the best record among the NAHL’s 22 teams.

“It’s really cool. I definitely use it as a motivation this weekend,” Burgess said of his honors and alluded to the best-of-five Midwest Division final series against the Minnesota Wilderness, which starts with game 1 at 7:30 tonight in the Big Dipper Ice Arena. Game 2 is set for the same time Saturday.

Burgess’s accolades Thursday, which included a spot on the All-NAHL Team, were part Fairbanks’ honors among the NAHL season awards that were voted on by the league’s 22 head coaches. Ice Dogs general manager Rob Proffitt was voted as the General Manager and Executive of the Year, and the Ice Dogs were voted as the Organization of the Year.

Thursday’s awards came one day after the Ice Dogs received several NAHL’s Division Awards, including the Midwest Division Most Valuable Player and Forward of the Year for Burgess; the division’s General Manager of the Year for Proffitt; and the division’s Organization of the Year.

Burgess, a Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute commit, generated 95 points from 38 goals and 57 assists while playing all 60 regular-season games for Fairbanks. His points tied the league-record total by Pat Maroon with the St. Louis Bandits in 2006-07. Maroon was a left wing this season with the National Hockey League’s Anaheim Ducks and Edmonton Oilers.

“He’s very deserving of it and he’s a kid who’s gone through the whole steps of progression in his development,’’ Proffitt said.

“I think down the road we’re going to be seeing him play on TV,” Proffitt added. “It’s exciting to know that his journey came through Fairbanks and he shared with our community and hockey club.”

Burgess pointed to linemates Ryner Gorowsky and Logan Coomes for helping him lead the NAHL in scoring.

“We just clicked from day one, having chemistry and really working great with each other,” said Burgess, who turned 20 on April 3.

He also was ranked 185th for North American Hockey League skaters in the NHL Central Scouting final rankings for players who are considered to be selected for the NHL Entry Draft in June.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2015-16 Part II

I strongly suspect that this is for the club team. I can't believe we have any interest in a 5'7", 150 lb, LW who only played HS hockey. It does says "Cameron Kasper has committed to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute "
https://new.berecruited.com/athletes/2368792

There are numerous things about him on the net, but nothing to indicate that he will play on the varsity.

He is in the directory.

Name: Cameron George Kasper
Preferred name: Cam
Class: First-Year Student
Curriculum: Mechanical Engineering

I will leave it at that.


Edit: Never mind that. He signed a Letter of Intent to play baseball at RPI. https://www.fieldlevel.com/app/commi...asper/baseball
