* Probably no longer an RPI recruit
# Known to have signed National Letter of Intent
[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
 
December 11, 2025 – Drayton Valley trades the CJHL Rights to Tafari Chingwaru (08) to Lloydminster in exchange for a player development fee.

He is not on their roster.

Edit: probably for next weekend

excerpted from a public Neutral Zone article https://neutralzone.com/2025/12/17/ncaa-commitments-dec-8-dec-14/

NCAA Commitments: Dec. 8 – Dec. 14​


Grayson Burzynski (D, L, 6’4, 212, Brandon Wheat Kings, 06/04/2005, RPI)

Burzynski was a second round-pick to the Swift Current Broncos back in 2020, and after many years in the WHL, he will find himself at RPI next season, along with many other WHL talents.

Burzynski had a great game when NZ scouts evaluated him this season.

“Grayson is an offensive defenseman who reads plays well and consistently attacks with his forwards. Both of his goals tonight came from sneaking backdoor as his forwards rolled high, burying rebounds that popped out to him. His breakouts were crisp and simple-finding teammates early before joining the rush. At one point, as his partner made the breakout, Grayson did exactly what coaches ask from an off-side defenseman: he instantly joined the rush as the fourth man. On the power play he worked the blue line and at times was overly eager to shoot, firing pucks with no screen and getting blocked. Later, he redeemed himself by faking a shot and snapping a pass backdoor for what should have been a tap-in, if not for a bad bounce. Despite two goals, he finished even, suggesting defensive areas to improve. He’s strong in corner battles and handles one-on-ones well, but adding a bit more toughness in front of the net would benefit him, as Moose Jaw wasn’t shy about driving the crease.”


Josh Evaschesen (F, L, 6’2, 191, Kamloops Blazers, 08/11/2006, RPI)

After being drafted in 2021, Evaschesen is finally getting his shot in the WHL, putting up 11 goals and 31 points in 30 games. RPI awaits his arrival next season.

Evaschesen can be a great addition in the center department for RPI.

“He is a dependable left shot two-way center who competes hard over the full 200 feet; he consistently pursues loose pucks, wins board battles and takes responsibility in his own zone. Reliable on the defensive zone coverage, he also drives play from the middle and is on his team’s top power-play unit thanks to above-average vision and playmaking — he routinely finds teammates and creates scoring chances, as he did finding line mate Behm in front of the net wide open for a goal. Skating is his main limitation: stride is somewhat choppy and his top-end speed is average, though he shows quickness and maneuverability in tight spaces. Projects upside as a steady, competitive two-way pivot.”


Harrison Lodewyk (F, L, 5’11, 206, Calgary Hitmen, 03/01/2005, RPI)

Lodewyk was traded from the Prince Albert Raiders to the Calgary Hitmen midway through the WHL season. This will be his final year of juniors before heading to RPI.

Lodewyk was evaluated by NZ scouts in a game this season.

“Power forward with high compete and strong checking. Finished checks aggressively on the forecheck and provided solid net front presence on the PP, burying a far-side crease pass from Dach over a sliding Tigers goalie for the tying goal.”
