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.

STRENGTHS according to Neutral Zone (NZ doesn't include them for women and goalies):
Aw=Awareness/IQ, Ch= Character/Leadership, GS=Goal Scoring Ability, Sk=Skating, Sp=Speed, SH=Stick Handling Skill, 
St-Strength, To=Toughness, Vi=Vision/Passing

We can always use players with that talent. (It does seem that Victoria has a lot of awards so they can give something to everyone who is leaving.)

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2019-20 (Part II)

There hasn't been much talk about it here that I recall, but the NCAA appears ready to approve a one-time transfer rule for ALL D1 sports. If approved as expected, the rule will take effect August 1st and will change the landscape for every DI coach in any sport. Coaches at top D1 programs will cherry pick kids from lesser teams/conferences and the so on down the line with the mid majors and lower D1 teams scouring the best from DII and DIII programs.

Most of the top leagues - Big Ten, ACC, SEC have signaled support for the idea. Most coaches have gone on record about the idea, with a few notables opposed --Gus Malzahn at Auburn being one of the vocal opponents and South Carolina's Will Muschamp: "I've been in this league for 20 years. Tampering will be a nice word for what'll happen."

IF it comes to pass, coaches will have to be far more careful with how they manage their rosters and playing time or risk losing a kid... i.e. they'll have to continually recruit and stroke players on their squad or risk them jumping, i.e. player ego and parent management will become even more of a full time job than it already is.

Note: It should be noted that the one-time transfer would require the student to be in good academic standing and would need a release from the school they are currently attending.

Get your “virtual schedule” out Ralph.......
The North American Hockey League (NAHL) is pleased to announce that it will be hosting and simulating the 2020 Robertson Cup Playoffs and Championship live on the NAHL TV YouTube channel beginning Wednesday, April 15th.

Using an XBox One and the EA Sports NHL video game, the NAHL staff constructed the rosters of the 16 NAHL teams from scratch that would have qualified for the Robertson Cup Playoffs this season based on winning percentage when the season was canceled. (Note: Team names may not be 100% accurate as it does not allow for certain city names). http://nahl.com/news/story.cfm?id=29387

I will post summaries if enough info is available.

Amarillo (Sertti), Austin (Miller), and Maryland (Leibold) are in. Janesville (Itagaki) was one point out but had a game in hand. Too bad.

The proposal was discussed in the off-season thread with pretty much the same conclusion regarding impact. I suggest that any further discussion revert to the other thread so as not to interfere with all the excitement of virtual junior hockey.

The constant. The poised. The reliable. Brett Miller's composure and consistently strong play earned him this year's Austin Bruins MVP Award!

On Wednesday, the Amarillo Bulls lost to the Topeka Pilots 4-3. They trail in the best-of-5 simulated playoff series 1-0. Lauri Sertti had no points or penalties. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqfXzz4LftQ

Sertti's line is now 1-0-0-0-0.

Not sure about the penalties. He did not get nearly the amount of ice time he usually does.
