**Ralph Baer** · 08-08-2020, 12:41 PM

Some possibilities on where players will be. The list may not include all of the correct players.

I have not attempted to update any of the women.

The years the men's recruits are listed as committed for are not necessarily accurate.
The dates on which some of the women are listed as committing on may be considerably after the actual dates.
I am assuming that Neutral Zone regards their Star ratings as public because they often tweet them with committals.

I received a message that Hunter McDonald will be at Omaha's main camp starting on Sunday. Xander Babich is on a roster, as is Zach Dubinsky's brother Aiden and former recruit Michael Cameron.

**Ralph Baer** · 08-08-2020, 12:47 PM

I will stop posting the 2019-20 rosters but until we know who will be in Troy, I will post the stats.

With the class announced, I wouldn't be surprised if we only see 3 newcomers next year. Our roster keeps growing larger and that's probably unsustainable. Right now, I think Finn Brown, Hunter McDonald and Jack Watson are coming, but it's very early to predict

It depends a lot on whether this season is played. Not as much as for other teams because we have only two skaters who will use up eligibility (Sellar and Jerry). It also depends upon whether we lose anyone for any reason. Obviously, Watson as a 2000 must come. I think that if Brown and McDonald are at all successful in the USHL, they will come.

**Ralph Baer** · 08-29-2020, 11:47 PM

Corpus Christi (NAHL) suspended operations for 20-21 along with Kansas City. Hunter McDonald's NAHL rights were picked up by Bismarck. https://www.bismarckbobcats.com/bism...ispersal-draft

McDonald played in seven games for the IceRays at the end of last season, skating in 21 games with the Rochester Monarchs of the NCDC beforehand. The RPI commit had one goal and one assist for Corpus Christi.

“McDonald is a smooth skating left-handed defenseman who can play in all situations,” Kapetanovic said. “He is an RPI commit who has a very high ceiling, and he is a big add to a very good back end that our staff has done a great job in building.”

**sezenack** · 09-10-2020, 02:27 PM

Per their twitter account, Finn Brown is in Dubuque training camp

**Ralph Baer** · 09-19-2020, 11:50 PM

Eric Fawkes is not at Winkler's (MJHL) main camp. https://twitter.com/winklerflyers/st...02877648932867 That probably means that he will be in the NAHL. Of course, he returned to Winkler last year.

**FLHockeyMom** · 09-20-2020, 05:39 PM

This preview of the So. Shore Kings NCDC team suggests that Babich will indeed start his season there:
