Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2018-19 (Part II)

I just thought of something. Hadn't Fontaine already signed his NLI before decommitting? How does that affect his eligibility?
 
Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2018-19 (Part II)

FWIW, A response on Finish Your Check to a question by turk181 on two of our three recruits playing in Nationals starting tomorrow. (Leibold is also there in the 18U tourney. ) https://finishyourcheck.com/topic/1...hampionships/?do=findComment&comment=14870406

Both RPI committs ------ Have not seen Mission U15 this year, (Generally, U15 is not great - however, because Mission U16 is so loaded, Mission U15 is worth checking out.

Believe Babich is well regarded, however he is behind 3 other kids playing Mission u15 (Burnside, Devine, Silich) and possibly Rivelli. Have to believe Babich is drafted in top 5 rounds of phase 1 draft, and next years U16 season will be telling....

Believe Itagaki is a smaller kid with some skill & scoring touch, but obviously he's gonna have to get physically bigger for future success.

BTW, I agree that the really best 15-year olds skip that level,.

On Tuesday, the Lincoln Stars lost to the Sioux Falls Stampede 8-1. Tristan Ashbrook had no points or penalties. Zach Dubinsky had a tripping penalty. Mason Klee scored a goal against his old team. https://www.ushl.com/view/#/game-summary/8481

Ashbrook's line is now 46-12-10-22-30.
Dubinsky's line is now 15-2-3-5-25.
Klee's Sioux Falls line is 13-1-2-3-6.
His total is now 60-3-7-10-66.

The season won’t end too quickly for Lincoln.
 
Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2018-19 (Part II)

As usual, I will post the AJHL summaries in the AM. Mahshie and Babivhuk are both playing, I will also check the USHL boxes for changes.

Amarillo defenseman Helsen makes NCAA DI commitment

April 3, 2019


Helsen, 20, has had an incredible journey the past three seasons in junior hockey from Odessa and Wichita Falls, Texas, recovering from a major injury, to moving up to the Coulee Region in Wisconsin, to coming back to Texas – and being named Team Captain of the Amarillo Bulls. Now the Dallas, Texas native will begin a new path as an NCAA Athlete.

“It just shows that everyone’s path is different,” Helsen said. “You can write a book about it, and it’s been pretty crazy the path I have taken. But God has a plan.”

Helsen has appeared in every Bulls’ game this season, 58 of the team’s 60, and has notched three goals and 15 assists for 18 points, and 20 penalty minutes. Helsen was also selected to and played in the 2019 NAHL Top Prospects Tournament for the South Division team.

Helsen began his junior career with the Odessa Jackalopes and the Wichita Falls Wildcats before suffering a major lower body injury. Last season, he appeared in 48 games with the former Coulee Region Chill.

“We are extremely proud to announce Louis’ commitment to RPI, and excited for him and his family,” said Bulls Head Coach Rocky Russo. “He is the Captain of our team and a true example of what we hope our Amarillo Bulls player to be. His leadership, work ethic and commitment to the excellence of the entire organization is what makes him such an important part of our success all season. Louis will be a tremendous addition to Coach Smith’s team as well as an excellent student at RPI.”

Helsen is also another great example of the NAPHL to NAHL Ladder of Development success story. Prior to his arrival in the NAHL, Helsen played two full seasons in the NAPHL for HC Dallas during the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons, appearing in 45 games in his NAPHL career. He also appeared in multiple NAPHL Top Prospects events.

Helsen said it’s an incredible opportunity to go to a prestigious school like RPI, and couldn’t have done it without his teammates. “To play Division I hockey was a plan of mine since I was a little kid and to fulfil my dream is amazing,” he said. “I’m excited about the academics, hockey has brought me into this. I get a great education and it’s going to be fun.”

Helsen said he owes the opportunity at RPI so many different people. “God, my family, mom and dad, they have supported me since day one,” he said. “I owe this opportunity to this team, my teammates and the city of Amarillo.”

Louis Helsen (RPI) joins Logan Jenuwine (Arizona State), Gabriel Seger (Union College), Brett Abdelnour (Army-West Point), Jason Grande (Bentley), Justin Evenson (Army-West Point), Nick Anderson (Colgate), Alex Peterson (Holy Cross), Brenden Datema (Michigan Tech), Jason Brancheau (Ferris State) and John Pesek (St. Thomas) as Bulls player on the 2019-20 roster to make their NCAA College Commitments.

"Helsen has appeared in every Bulls’ game this season, 58 of the team’s 60". IMO, that is poorly worded. Amarillo has played 58 games to date, and two more are scheduled. Helsen has appeared in all 58.

"Helsen has appeared in every Bulls’ game this season, 58 of the team’s 60". IMO, that is poorly worded. Amarillo has played 58 games to date, and two more are scheduled. Helsen has appeared in all 58.

Not only that, but I believe the Coulee Region is in the state of Washington, not Wisconsin 😜

The Coulee Region Chill is in Lacrosse, Wisconsin. https://www.crchill.com/ (and they play hockey, not lacrosse. ;) )

OTOH, the Grand Coulee Dam is in Washington.

I am still trying to remember that the Austin Bruins play in Minnesota, not Texas. :)
