RPI Recruit Thread 2020-21 (Part II)

[Ralph Baer]

Hunter McDonald was selected #168 in the 6th round by Wichita Falls in the NAHL draft. I am 99% sure he will stay in the USHL.

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

TRADE ALERT
The Winkler Flyers have traded Eric Fawkes ('01) to the @BluesWpg for future considerations. The Flyers would like to thank Eric for his contributions to the team and wish him well in the future!
https://twitter.com/winklerflyers/st...24121126395906

He probably isn't our commit anymore, but I will continue to follow him until something official shows up.

NAHL http://nahl.com/nahl/downloads/2122/...chedule-v3.pdf

and the USHL https://www.ushl.com/view#/schedule/...=1&gametype=-1

Enough of that. :-)

[Ralph Baer]

The USHL is bringing their inaugural American Cup to Rochester, NY Dec. 3-4. Youngstown and Green Bay will play two games.... a chance to see Muzzatti perhaps.

https://www.ushl.com/news_article/show/1170698

Certainly hope that he makes the team.

I have updated this for next year.. Obviously I we don't know for sure where players will be. i strongly suspect Hotson won't be in the NCDC, but I can't really guess what team. We'll see if he is drafted by the NAHL or tries out in the USHL or elsewhere. I am leaving Fawkes in until we see something official.

Not surprising at all.
