00 G Victor Östman (@ChicagoSteel) commits to Maine. 6'4, late-2000 born Swede has a 23-4 record on the year alongside two shutouts, a 2.33 GAA and .911 SV%. Big add in net for the Black Bears this fall.

Looks like he is a 4.0 rated recruit according to neutral zone. He is playing well in USHL. These are great things. I think a tandem of Thiessen and Ostman will be very solid. They are describing him as big and athletic with good rebound control. However needs work on skating and has tendency to play too low. Seems like this report is old though. I am surprised there is so little info on him seeings he is the top goalie for Chicago. He is on a list of potential late round picks for over aged players for nhl draft. Seems like might not get drafted. We shall see. But this is a very good pickup it seems if Swayman leaves early.

That is a good list. I think Renwick deserves to be in there. It is very difficult to rank these recruits. But I like it when a player plays USHL and is a regular in the line up. Renwick has been. Breen has done very well. Morrissey has done well when he has played. For whatever reason he has missed some games.

Edit: I found out Morrissey was injured two separate times.

Morrissey just ended several kids bigger than him. I want him in next year, and Breen, and Renwick.

So who are considered to be Maine's top 5 committed recruits at this point?

Seems like....

1. Guillaume Richard
2. Lynden Breen
3. Mikael Huchette
4. Brad Morrissey
5. Josh Langford

I wouldn't consider myself an expert, but I'd put Tim Gould somewhere on that list too.

Looks like a big frame. Not rated by neutral zone. Though with international play seems like he is being recruited. Serious effort recruiting on defense.

New recruit Sam Duerr...

https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/418239/samuel-duerr

He is a 3.75 out of 5 rated by Nuetral Zone. He is described as a strong physical defensemen with great poise at the point and good hands... great passing. The knock was he gets running around a bit, so seems like needs develop better instincts in his own end. It is an elite program he is playing for, so that is impressive. Sounds like a solid recruit. Likely won’t be here until 21/22 at earliest but more probably 22/23 after year of USHL.

If he's on the Central Scouting list and feels like he has a shot to go in the Draft that's a good sign. Looks like another solid D pickup.

Re: UMaine Black Bears Recruiting

The only uncommitted player in prospects game from ajhl is Kabore Dunn, so I assume you mean him. Looks good.

That is correct I think it will be announced at the game is what I have heard
