RPI 2026 Off-Season: Please Pardon Our Appearance As We Upgrade This Area

Picked up a Dman who only played 10 games for maine simon motew.
Motew is an interesting case. He was a multi-year regular in the OHL who was in and out of the Black Bear lineup until January 10. Ben didn't play him after that. I don't know if he was injured or just out of favor.

Out of favor.
 

Benny's squad had a rough season. Motew was one of 9 to hit the hot tub time machine, including two keepers.

Motew spent some brief time with Laval / AHL

No chance Burrows is coming here. Lindberg is committed to Nodak. Littler maybe
I just saw Lindberg going to nodak. Littler would be a solid pickup. What about Loranger from Omaha? I figured you would have the inside scoop? Or is that another no chance he’s coming to RPI situation. Lol

I haven't heard anything about Loranger but I would think he's got better options
 
Benjamin Yurchuk from Merrimack transfers to RPI
Free Neutral Zone report from when he first committed to Northeastern.
Reports from 2021 are probably not too meaningful five years later. :)

(‘05) F Benjamin Yurchuk (North Jersey Avalanche/AYHL) has committed to Northeastern for 2023

Yurchuck was born in Montreal, but has come up through the youth hockey system in New Jersey. The 16-year-old had 11 points in 12 games for the 16U AAA team last season. In 2019-20, Yurchuk appeared in 25 games for the New Jersey Colonials 14U team and had 16 goals and 33 assists.

NZ Scouts 2021 Select 17 Evaluation: “Yurchuk is a small, heady playmaker out of the North Jersey Avalanche who was one of the leading point producers in the tournament with a 3-4-7 line in 5 games. He started the camp off scoring right away, cutting in on speedy zone entry and deking the goalie for a score. He had his next goal on a hard catch and shoot off a 2v1 play and similar play again in the fourth game. His best plays however were his assists. He created scoring chances off the rush, he fed the slot from behind the net and in the corners, and was able to draw defenders to him with his speed and then slide the puck behind them. He has a slippery stick, soft hands and ability to sauce pucks at speed and hit his targets through the neutral zone. Yurchuk’s best attribute was his vision; he can see the whole sheet, he reads defenders and can break them down 1v1 or pass in and around them, and is able to find his teammates through a crowd.”
