Exactly-this is all about exposure and the right people getting a good look. Jen and I found out earlier today that we have one friend attending this game for that exact reason.

At least as opposed to professional AS games, one would expect the players to be trying hard and playing defense, and not the 17-15 hockey AS games one often gets now.
 
Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13 (Part II)

from what I've seen so far in this game I'm quite impressed not only with Melanson's skating but with his physical game.....especially when he's camped out in front of the net.....that's not something I expected to see.

Turk-We saw very little of any physical game down here in NJ and in fact, that was our only concern. Thanks for the feedback. Skating has never been a problem-he moves effortlessly at a pace that others can barely match and then suddenly has the ability to just move it up a notch and pull away from the rest. I will have a full report in a couple days. Having seen his former teammate, Alex Hagerty at Delbarton, I really wish we had a chance at thisi kid too. Not nearly as fast, but bigger, stronger and a consistent scorer that we have yet to see any opposing team keep off the scoreboard. I have tried to find out what I can but no one has any information as to a commitment anywhere. Delbarton is mortal this year (seemingly) with a little less depth but Baiocco, Hagerty and Melnick make for quite a high school level threat. I always though Melnick was just going to be too small for Division I but he has added a little size and now looks like he should be a handful for the oposition. The Ivies just continue to follow this team and cherry pick players. Yale and Princeton are represented at virtually every game. I know, it's New Jersey and not Minnesota, but most of these kids end up playing extremely well at the NCAA level.

But you just finished telling us he got an assist and nothing else.

Correct. Unless I am even more confused than Beman, doesn't "1-0-1-1-0" mean one game played, no goals, one assist, one point, and no penalty minutes?

Saw this tweet from the North Dakota SID last night. "A reminder that it is a violation of NCAA rules for fans to mention, or communicate with, recruits via Twitter. #pleasestop #rulesarerules" It was then followed up by UND fans telling him pretty much to shove it and that the NCAA wont do anything about. Just a heads up for our fans. I would post it in the regular season thread but people might get mad (looking at you Ralph and FlagDUDE :p)

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13 (Part II)

Although I don't condone fighting, I thought that Jimmy DeVito's fight record in the USHL for the last three years was worth posting. http://www.dropyourgloves.com/Fights/FightCard.aspx?P=70634. He has a 13-3-4 record in fights that have been rated. That's .750. (They calculate it as .62 based upon win quality.)

Considering that most of his fights have been against bigger players, this is quite good. I do, however, hope that we don't see any of this.
