Top rookies this year 2013

Re: Top rookies this year 2013

Can only comment on the games I've seen, but the freshman who have stood out to me so far

Luke Baleshta -Plattsburgh
Shaquille Merasty -Adrian
Peter MacIntyre -Umass Boston
Denton King -Oswego

King is the only non-forward I have on my list cause hes the only one whose stood out in the games I've watched, being an Oswego fan I'm slightly biased having watched all the games I could have, but he has a good head on his shoulders. I'm sure theres many other Freshman goalies and D-men who are good, I just haven't seen them play. I'd add Oswego's backup goalie on here because in the games he's played he has done very well, he has some room for improvement, but since he's only played 3 games, I've left him off.
 
Re: Top rookies this year 2013

Im not sure if he qualifies as a rookie since he is a Sophomore transfer from Colgate (0 minutes played) but I'd include Bowdoin's Max Fenkell in this discussion. He has only played 7 games but in he is 6-0-1 and top 10 in the country in both SV% (940) and GAA (1.84). He also had a 38 save shutout at Middlebury.

Three that immediately pop in my head from this year

Olivieri D - Utica
Sivnert G - Lawrence
Lockhurst G - Brockport
 
Re: Top rookies this year 2013

1 - Arlen Marshall
2 - TJ Manastersky
3 - Kevin Swallow
4 - AJ Aitken
5 - Keven Krogol
6 - Damian DiGiulian
 
Re: Top rookies this year 2013

I think Mac Olson from Hobart belongs in the conversation...he is currently second on the team in scoring (20 pts in 20 games) and leads the team at a very impressive +19.

Stick skills are impressive, and his release on his wrister is top shelf.

I know where you are coming from, but in all fairness the new generation of St. Louis (Randy) is actually pretty good IMO. The old timer just gets worse though!

Canton hasn't done all that bad - they face Geneseo this Saturday (2/2/13).

And they took both games this past weekend against former ECAC-West power house Lebanon Valley (with TWO St Louis's).

Canton shouldn't count as a rookie but rather a red shirt. A really good JUCHO team moving up to D3 isn't really coming in starting from scratch.
Oswego 88

Re: Top rookies this year 2013

Geneseo's David Ripple has had a pretty productive freshman year thus far: 16 games/7 goals/9 assists.
