I certainly agree with that. I just am surprised that it seems likely that he will go there.There are far worse places for Tironese to be than in Derek Lalonde's capable hands.

# Known to have signed Letter of Intent
@ It is known that Jake Wood did not play in one game which in the stats he is listed as playing in.
Meirs Moore from Duluth East HS committed to RPI. Small, but a nice little puck-moving offensive defenseman.
“He’s got the best shot in the state,” teammate Alex Toscano said after Moore scored three power-play goals to lead Duluth East to a 4-2 win over Minnetonka on Tuesday, Jan. 29. “He knows how to find the net and [the puck] just whizzes past us.”
What Toscano is referring to is Moore’s rare ability to not only shoot the puck with speed, but to needle it through sticks and bodies and anything else that might be between his stick and the back of the net.
Would think that Moore's commit likely pushes Prapavessis to 2015.
Ralph, sorry to nit pick, but you have him listed as being born April 12. He was born December 4th.
