RPI Recruit Thread 2020-21

[Ralph Baer]

Ralph I'm already worried that Babich might be in a McDonald situation this year. 6 GF in 4 games with 16 GA. It's early but it does not look good for that team

I think it is a bit too early to be overly concerned. FWIW, I team that they defeated, The Junior Bruins, are 3-1 overall.

Tom Sinclair is going to UVM. https://twitter.com/tomsinclair26/st...31632620048385
As was posted by sezenack last season, we were probably interested in him judging by his followers and whom he was following.

Congratulations to @reid_leibold10 on scoring the third Hat Trick in #MBB history.

The video includes all three goals including the second which was not tweeted during the game.

I was disappointed to see that this morning :-(. UVM is a pretty poor program at the moment, so it is a little sad we lost this recruiting battle to them. I'm sure there are recruits we have won that they were also in on though.

I like the way he just weaved through the defense on the first goal. Showed some silky mitts on the second goal too.

 

[Ralph Baer]

He isn't on the protected list yet, but Finn Brown did make Dubuque.

Max Itagaki is on Janesville's protected list. https://portal.usahockey.com/tool/pu...ors/nahl#team9. Thus all three of the players whom we expected to be in the NAHL (Fawkes, Itagaki, and Leibold) are there.

Omaha's game was postponed. They are still scheduled for Sunday.

 

[Ralph Baer]

On Friday, the Northeast Generals lost to the Danbury Jr. Hat Tricks 3-2. Eric Fawkes had a roughing penalty. http://nahl.com/game-center/#/game-summary/29654

Fawkes's line is now 3-1-0-1-6.
Three games, each with a minor penalty.
They have been juggling the lineup a lot so far.

 

[Ralph Baer]

On Friday, the South Shore Kings NCDC team lost to the Twin City Thunder 3-1. Alexander Babich had no points or penalties. https://www.usphl.com/view#/game-summary/12652

Babich's line is now 5-0-2-2-0.

 

[Ralph Baer]

On Friday, the Maryland Black Bears defeated the New Jersey Titans 5-3. Reid Leibold a goal, an assist, and a head contact penalty. http://nahl.com/game-center/#/game-summary/29627

Leibold's line is now 3-4-2-6-4.
The MBB tried to let the other team back into the game again but held on this time.

 

[Ralph Baer]

On Friday, the Coquitlam Express defeated the Langley Rivermen 7-3 in a preseason game. Jack Watson was the backup. https://bchl.ca/stats/game-center/9851

Watson's preseason line is now 1-1-0-0-0.00-1.000.
I wonder why Watson isn’t getting more time in the net considering that Howe has not had great stats.

[sezenack]

https://twitter.com/BlackBearsNAHL/status/1317320839004639233?s=20

Leibold is 2nd in the league in points and leads the league in goals

 

[Ralph Baer]

Hunter McDonald is on Omaha's protected list https://portal.usahockey.com/tool/public-roster/juniors/ushl#team9

Finn Brown is not yet on Dubuque's list https://portal.usahockey.com/tool/public-roster/juniors/ushl#team3, but it appears that foreigners who have not played here before take longer to appear.

 

[Ralph Baer]

On Saturday, the South Shore Kings NCDC team lost to the Twin City Thunder 6-3. Alexander Babich had no points or penalties. https://www.usphl.com/view#/game-summary/12653

Babich's line is now 6-0-2-2-0.
It does seem that sezenack is correct that the SSK are a poor team. I am however more concerned about Babich not having scored a goal yet although he is young.

 

[Ralph Baer]

On Saturday, the Maryland Black Bears defeated the New Jersey Titans 4-3 (2-1) in a shootout. Reid Leibold had no points or penalties. 3 SOGs. http://nahl.com/game-center/#/game-summary/29628

Leibold's line is now 4-4-2-6-2.
I am somewhat surprised that RL wasn’t one of the first three in the shootout, but they did use the two forwards who scored in the game.

 

[Ralph Baer]

On Saturday, the Coquitlam Express lost to the Langley Rivermen 4-1 in a preseason game. Jack Watson saved 29 of 32 shots in 57:35. https://bchl.ca/stats/game-center/9858

Watson's preseason line is now 2-1-1-0-1.53-.944.
