[boblav1]

A flurry of commitments over the past few days for Hockey East teams.
'03s - BU (2), UMass, UNH and PC.
'04s - BC (2), UConn, UMass, PC

Nothing for the Hawks at the moment.

The UMass '03 commit was ranked by Jeff Cox as one of the top 5 uncommitted 2003 born players. And the '04 is the grandson of UMass' retired coach Toot Cahoon.

The reason for the large number of commits was that August 1st was the day kids heading into their junior year could finally make their "commitments."

The Cedar Rapids RoughRiders and Madison Capitols Will Not Participate In 2020-21 USHL Season.

The RoughRiders home arena, the ImOn Ice Arena incurred substantial damage during an August 10, 2020 derecho storm. The Capitols face significant county restrictions related to COVID-19 that affect their ability to practice, play and host spectators.

A dispersal draft will be held for the players currently on both team’s rosters. Both teams plan to resume play for the 2021-22 USHL season.

Recruit Aidan Harper finished last season with the RoughRiders. Owen Cole was drafted by Cedar Rapids for this season. I'm not sure if he planned to play for Cedar Rapids or stay in the CCHL.

The United States Hockey League (USHL) completed a dispersal draft Monday for players that were on the rosters and affiliate lists of the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders and Madison Capitols for the 2019-20 season. All players that have junior hockey eligibility for the upcoming 2020-21 season were eligible to be selected by USHL Member Clubs.

Aidan Harper was taken by Waterloo. Interesting that Chicago took Ben Meehan.

“Meehan is currently at UMass-Lowell where we expect he will play this season, but we will add him to our college defection list,” said Hardy.”

Ben Meehan was the only River Hawk drafted yesterday in the NHL Draft, as he went in the 5th Round (Pick 140) to the Kings. The Kings actually traded up to get him.

I saw this on the ASU thread, interesting.

ASU is making a push to recruit Minnesota hockey talent:

MINNESOTA HOCKEY RECRUITING FUND

The Minnesota Hockey Recruiting Fund is an invaluable resource that is used to provide a competitive edge for the Sun Devil Ice Hockey coaching staff to recruit the top talent in the state of Minnesota.
This fund was created by Chuck Inderieden ’87, a Minnesota native and avid hockey fan, to ensure the coaching staff has the opportunity to recruit Minnesota’s best high school hockey prospects to attend ASU and play for Sun Devil Hockey. This commitment helps enhance and elevate Sun Devil Hockey, and Chuck has a goal of other Minnesotans joining him to support this endeavor.
This fund will assist the Sun Devil Hockey coaching staff in covering the following costs associated with recruiting student-athletes from Minnesota:

• Travel Expenses
• Recruiting Operations

Please join in supporting Sun Devil Hockey and the Minnesota community by donating to the Minnesota Hockey Recruiting Fund today!

A new recruit? I haven't found any additional confirmation, but last night's line up sheet for Tri City (USHL) lists defenseman Isac Jonsson as a Lowell commit.

Heisenberg also lists him as a commit. Can't find any information on him though.
