Re: RPI 2011 Recruit Thread Pt. III

To make you, and others, feel better said recruit was a goalie. It's not making the mystery any easier to solve, however.

Actually, it doesn't make me feel better, because it probably indicates that SA feels that we won't get Altshuller, and I don't know who else is out there with similar credentials.

Have faith, Ralph, Seth knows what to look for. If he brings a goalie in, it will be someone who can take over for York. I am guessing that he will be a 2012 recruit, which will give him a chance to grow in the position.

Maybe Vines was watching a different goaltender while in Manitoba, theres a kid on the US U-17 team that matches the ht/wt description thats been mentioned here. His team didnt play Friday night but he was the starter in his game on Saturday night. I guess he could have went back to Michigan Saturday morning in time for his game. Landon Noel from Kingston is another kid that has similar ht/wt and he was missing from Kingstons game Friday night. Just throwing a couple names out there from CH's site.

Sweet! USHR lists Jake as a 5'8" 155lb Junior forward from Georgetown,ON. So far this year he has a line of 14gp, 9g, 6a for 15pts. Looks to be either a 2012 or 13 recruit.

5'8"? I guess that he wasn't the recruit seen over the weekend.

The fact that he is from Ontario means he is the same Jake Woods who was playing earlier in various minor leagues there.

This is from USHR back in 2009:

Gunnery-bound Jake Wood, a ’93 forward, also from the Halton Hurricanes AAA Minor Midget squad, is a 5’7”, 140 lb. whirling dervish. Skilled and fast, he’s very physical -- and strong for his size. Will finish his hits, and go hard into the corners. Good vision; great set-up guy.

redhead or anyone else who subscribes to USHR,

Assuming that his status as an RPI recruit is confirmed, can you post, for future games, his stat line?

Gunnery posts game summaries, but not stats, as far as I can determine. http://portal.gunnery.org/NetCommuni...93&Term=winter

What are scouts looking for in forwards? Speed! Afterburner is something Halton Hurricanes 93 DOB Jake Wood appears to be in possession of! The youngster made an immediate impact in summer hockey with his ability to make super sonic skates on the ice according to one scouting source!

According to the 1993 DOB winger Jake Wood he has filled the Halton Hurricanes leader shoes to great success over the last eight years! It's a known fact: scouts love leaders!

I could probably do that, Gunnery is one of the schools that USHR seems to have up to date game info and stats for.

Sounds like an impressive kid! Has it been confirmed somewhere in writing that he is a commit?

I could not find it. That was the reason for post 380.

I'll wait until confirmation before I add him to my list of recruits.
