Depending on your definition both are correct. His father, former NHL player and current QMJHL coach Gordie Dwyer, was playing in Sweden when Ryan was born. He then grew up in the Maritimes after his dad retired.

Exactly. I usually use whatever his team or league has.

On Wednesday, the Sudbury Wolves lost to the Brantford Bulldogs 2-1. Nate Krawchuk had 37 saves on 39 shots in 58:56. He was named the #3 Star. Jack Ziliotto had no points or penalties. https://chl.ca/ohl/gamecentre/27793/

Krawchuk's line is now 36-17-12-5-3.18-.906.
Ziliotto's Sudbury line is now 7-1-2-3-2.
His total is 39-12-18-30-18.

It looks like Ryan Dwyer has left Stanstead and is going to the QMJHL.

He is not on Neutral Zone yet.

Stanstead roster https://stansteadcollege.myschoolapp.com/ftpimages/1161/download/download_4989158.pdf
stats from 1/27 https://stansteadcollege.myschoolapp.com/ftpimages/1161/download/download_6470975.pdf

He was born on 1/2/07 which means he shares a birthdate with me (a few years off) and won't do much at RPI. Two previous players were Mauro DiPaolo and Jason Fortino. A third, I forget who, never showed up.

RB, What heritage would you say the name Chemrouk is ? Will we need to add a flag to HFH ? LOL

Do we think he'll do any time with Baie-Comeau before landing in Troy ?

We have our answer !

Probably not a coincidence that they play his Dad’s team tonight.

Ralph Baer · 2025-02-06T09:36:14-0600

Thursday’s game(s)

Dwyer https://chl.ca/lhjmq/en/gamecentre/31194/

I will post the summary(ies) whenever.

rpi82 · 2025-02-06T09:36:45-0600

Anyone think that Dave is doing a Hail Mary as a last hope to turn things around? These guys look like players that would get a lot of attention at 19,20 or even 21. Might we be promising to bring them in early to get them on board? It would be similar to what Seth did - seeing a pretty depleted roster when he came on board he brought in guys like Polacek, Bergdoerfer, Foss and Brutlag more or less straight from high school (some got in a few late season junior games after HS season ended but not a full schedule). All would probably have been tougher signs if he’d waited another year. Could that be the plan with these latest recruits, especially since those few games could be against major junior competition? It worked pretty well for Seth. Can it work in the transfer portal era?

I am pretty sure that I saw somewhere that he is Algerian, but as opposed to Dwyer, I have only seen Canada.

He is named Kamyl

Ralph Baer · 2025-02-06T09:45:16-0600

I wonder if Dwyer is going to remain in Baie-Comeau for the rest of the season or is only there for this weekend while Stanstead isn't playing.

I had the same thought about Sullivan a year ago.

What I saw is his tournament stats on his Elite Hockey page. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/877158/kamyl-chemrouk

Also see https://nationalteamsoficehockey.com/algeria/

I doubt that playing on the Algerian National team is too meaningful. The goalie is probably his brother.

jstadts · 2025-02-06T13:08:15-0600

With regards to playing Jr B someplace. I feel it`s a tricky and sometimes telling proposition. On one hand the better competition helps in most cases, get them ready to be impactful Freshmen. on the other hand serious injury is always a concern. I feel the worst sign in development is when a kid committs and 3 years latter he is still banging around in Juniors.

Good question. I believe Dwyer is an '07 kid ? In which case, he would be the youngest forward on the roster....which might suggest it will be a temporary visit. We will see !

[b]The years the recruits are listed as arriving at RPI are not necessarily accurate.[/b]
The dates on which some of the women are listed as committing on may be considerably after the actual dates.
"Hometown" is sometimes where the player was born and sometimes where he or she currently lives.
I am assuming that Neutral Zone regards their Star ratings as public because they often tweet them with committals.

STRENGTHS according to Neutral Zone (NZ rarely includes them for women):
Aw=Awareness/IQ, Ch=Character/Leadership, GS=Goal Scoring Ability, Sk=Skating, Sp=Speed, SH=Stick Handling Skill, 
St-Strength, To=Toughness, Vi=Vision/Passing

I am almost certain that the QMJHL is JrA, the level which until recently was off limits for the NCAA. It is usually considered as not as good as the OHL and WHL, but still Tier I.

On Thursday, the Drakkar de Baie-Comeau lost to the Acadie-Bathurst Titan 4-3. Ryan Dwyer had no points or penalties. He won only 1 of 6 faceoffs. https://chl.ca/lhjmq/en/gamecentre/31194/

Dwyer's line is now 1-0-0-0-0.
His total is 42-28-25-53-xx.
RD is listed on the scoresheet as an AP, so he will indeed be going back to Stanstead.
