Yes, I know. :) The problem is that talented, big forwards are much in demand everywhere, and we have lost out on the better ones whom we have been after (e.g., Derek Grant).
 
Re: RPI 2010 Recruiting III: Monty's Quest for the Holy Grail

Ralph, is there a reasonably accurate height/weight list of the guys we've got scheduled to be joining the team?

Heisenberg has a list http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=rZN-GJH1Q0NQeXIJG47g-ug&gid=1. As to accuracy, it's hard to say. Some of the heights/weights disagree a bit from those on their team/league stat pages. I don't think that there is another list of our recruits on the internet unless Without A Peer has one. I guess that you would remember if there is one on your blog. :p

Not sure about the other listings but from what I have seen and heard, Laliberte is not 5'10":confused:

I am not sure that we need a talented big man, just someone to protect his linemates.( see McSorley).:p
I think that the real problem in getting that guy, is that he has to be able to keep up with his linemates.
Appert wanted quickness in his game and he has built his team on speed.
Getting a big forward to keep up his hard to find.
As for someone in front of the net, the same thing applies. They have to get there in time to make a difference.
On the PP, we can always use a big defenseman to get in the way.

It certainly is hard to find speedy big forwards, but they are great to have. The next best thing is someone who can protect his linemates as you said.

Looking through some prep league rosters, I noticed that one of Jim Knowltons sons Mark ('94) is a sophomore at Albany Academy. He's a 5'6" 145lb center, with a line of 17g and 5a for 22pts this season. It will be interesting to see if he comes to RPI or if he might follow his older brothers (Chris) footsteps to Denver.

I hope not. IMO, it would create an awkward situation for SA. It's one thing to coach your own child. It's worse to coach your boss's child.

I think your right that it would make for an awkward situation. He does seem to be a little on the small side, although he is only 15-16 years old. Who knows, he might not even fit into SA's plans if he is looking to get some bigger more physical players in the future.

I do think that we will still be mainly looking for small, fast forwards. That is the style that SA said at the start, and he has not said he was changing.

I suspect that SA's relationship with Denver had something to do with older brother Chris going to Denver. I think that the Denver folks here said he is a recruited walkon.

What you hear is correct JL is 5'8"-5'9" on his best day.I'm 6'0" and even with his skates on I'm still taller. I wouldn't be too concerned though about his size because very little of his game depends on it. Granted the college game will require him to battle with bigger stronger guys but he will out think most guys b4 a battle even happens. If JL was 6'-6'1" we wouldn't be discussing him on a college forum.
As for last nights game vs Nepean, it was an off night for JL. He assisted on the first goal a little over 2 mins into the game when he hit Perry coming out of the box for a breakaway. After that he didn't figure much in what happened until he got the puck with some room late in the third peroid and hit the crossbar.
GL played solid in both ends of the rink. He has picked up his physical play noticably since I last saw him play. He unloaded a handful of "rockets" from the point on the PP which created rebounds and secondary chances for the forwards.
Ming is an interesting prospect. You won't notice him for much of the game and then he will do things that a 93 shouldn't be able to do against 19-20 year olds. He will win a puck battle down low or come out a cycle take the puck into the hard areas and score a goal with a pro style release.
Cornwalls best forward last night was Ouellette. He didn't get on the score sheet but he created a ton of chances for his linemates and himself. He seemed to have the puck on his stick all the time,was robbed late in the game by Nepean's tender and also was hauled down in the 2nd peroid on a partial breakaway with no call. He is very creative with the puck, has deceptive speed and quickness and sees the game almost as well as JL.
Cornwall also has its share of role players. One D pairing in particular made life for Harvard/Princeton recruit Calof miserable and had him off his game. The 3rd and 4th lines brought a ton of energy and had as many scoring chances as the top two lines.

Thanks for the report! Sounds like Ouellette is going to be a steal for whom ever picks him up next year.

Its really not very clear what his future intentions are. Not all Canadian boys dream of ncaa hockey. Many look more toward major junior/pro route. I know he has also expressed an interest in playing in Europe next season. I also have no idea what kind of student he was, remember he's 20 and has been out of the school scene for awhile.
Some other schools that have shown interest; Oswego,Potsdam. For these schools he would be a top player for sure!
