Curious about some players

Can anyone tell me anything about these players. Aside from stats I don't know much about how they play, and if they are as good as the stats say:

Spencer Abbott-Maine
Andy Miele-Miami
Adam Presizniuk-Union
Jeremy Welsh-Union
Mike Connolly-UMD
Jack Connolly-UMD
JT Brown-UMD
Steve Seigo-Mich Tech

Also curious about some freshmen:

Daniel Carr-Union
Josh Jooris-Union
Matt White-UNO
 
Re: Curious about some players

UMD fans can tell you better than I but as a Wisconsin fan having seen UW play against the Connolly's, they are very good players. Top 20 in the country easily. their line can dominate games
 
Re: Curious about some players

Presizniuk - has been a consistent 30 point scorer (which is a big deal at Union), is very good along the boards and is a terrific passer. His skills don't stand out, but he quietly gets points every game.

Welsh - a big kid who skates well and has a howitzer for a shot.

Jooris - put up huge numbers in Ontario Jr. A last year and is an excellent passer. His father played on RPI's NC team many moons ago (a very sweet irony for Union fans :)).

Carr - Was the top scoring forward in Alberta Jr. A last year until he got traded to the BCHL. A very dynamic player that as a true freshman has a lot of upside.

Overall Union has played a very easy schedule so far and the numbers for these players probably won't continue at their current pace. However, is possible that 1 or 2 of them could be in NCAA top 10-15 scorers when season is done.

Andy Miele-Miami

Small, fast, and feisty :)

Great moves, very good penalty killer. Camper and him playing on the same line this season has both of them putting up some serious numbers. At least in CCHA games, typically one of the most explosive players on the ice.

Supposedly Seth Appert didn't have the position open when Josh improved his last year in Juniors. Had he known that D'Amigo and Pirri were leaving, it could have been different. Mark Jooris was Adam Oates' right wing for much of the three years they played together. Without Oates, who left after three years, Jooris was RPI's leading scorer his senior year.
