    I saw this and it seems QMJHL team Islanders will be making a push for Morrissey...
    http://www.journalpioneer.com/sports...anders-223482/

    It will be interesting to know if Morrissey played in Tri-City(USHL) tryout camp. ???
    Morrissey has been the talk of the town since last summer when he and Brett Budgell both chose to play elsewehere. A big hit for a team that was rebuilding and have plenty of open spots. If Morrissey makes it through the new year without jumping that is a very strong indication he will be coming to Orono. Morrissey is still 4 years away (maybe 3) from Orono so if he does jump Red and Co. will have plenty of time to fill his spot.

    Speaking of very strong indications, based on recent communications I am very confident that Lynden Breen will be playing for the Black Bears 2020-21 and not jump to his hometown Sea Dogs. Later today it will be announced that he made the Central Illinois 30 man roster with the plan that he plays two seasons in USHL. Rapid development, injuries, and early departures could see him bumped up to 2019 class. This is inline with the roster projection i had for him on the recruit web site. Only change I have made is removing his flight risk. If new information changes in the future I will update accordingly.

      Once upon a time, ~2010, the Huskies had a pretty good goalie name Brad Thiessen from BC. He finished his junior year, signed with Pittsburgh and wound up as their backup goalie as they won the Stanley cup. Is this goalie any relation?

        From the few bits and pieces I could string together it seemed Morrissey is more likely than not to go for the education. And also, it seems more likely Renwick might be more of the major junior candidate. Nobody took a flier on him in the USHL draft, which given how well he did at Telus.. you have to think scouts knew he was a risky pick. Hopefully I am very wrong with this line of think. The jumbo Notre Dame Hound package of Morrissey/Renwick/Gould/Dawe/Farrell combined with Breen has a great make up of solid talent, a lot of which is eastern Canadian where I wished Maine would get more hockey student athletes from. Had great luck with Pellerin, Purcell, Sweetland, etc.. The only one that didn't pan out was Sill, but I think he must have partied too much?

            Yes, he told younger brother to play for a real goaltending university... UMaine.

            Kidding aside I doubt there is a close relation, possibly distant. But Thiessen of NU was a beast.

              Fliers are selected in later rounds. Nolan was a victim of import limits.

                Two Canadian skaters are for free. On all teams rosters.

                My point is he shouldn't be a flyer. They didn't draft him for a reason... kid had 3 assists in the final Telus game.

                    A player {Sweetland} that should have stayed @ Maine for a few more season's instead of leaving early...he had a quick shot. But then That's Hockey.

                      Any news on Maine recruits making the 30 man roster? Breen, Osadick, Capone, etc...

                      I am not sure Morrissey even attended Tri City's tryout camp?

                          I am mentioning new defensive young commit Guillaume Richard from LHPS M16 league in Quebec... so that he is discussed here when new info on him comes by.
                          https://lhps.ca/joueur.php?sp_no=38318

                          I didn't find a lot of info on him, but Jeff Cox tweeted he is a mobile defensemen and has good skating and positioning.

                          It looks like he is second highest scorer among defensemen in that league...
                          https://lhps.ca/statistiques-joueurs.php?dash_sc_no=313

                          His team had by far lowest goals against in their league...

                                That's good news. Seems to be a trend with more and more players choosing NCAA over the major juniors. Maine has some pretty good players in the pipeline, lets hope they can keep it up.
