Re: UML Recruiting, Building for 2018 and on

The US team defeated the Czech Republic 3-2 tonight. Matt Brown had an assist. The US plays Canada East tomorrow at 4:00 pm EST.

2 assists for Matt Brown in the US's 7-3 win over Canada East today. The US team has earned their spot into the semis now. They have one more first round game left, against Russia on Friday.

Truman Brothers Commit to UMass Lowell NCAA Div. 1


From Lethbridge Alberta, the Truman brothers are playing in their first full season of junior hockey. Sixteen-year-old Scout is a 5’10 left winger who through 22 games has scored 3 goals and added 13 assists for 16 points. The skilled play making forward is the youngest player in the AJHL this season and played last season in the CSSHL with Yale Hockey Academy.
Roc Truman is a 5’11 seventeen-year-old center who through 29 games this season has scored 13 goals and added 12 assists for 25 points in his first year with the Dragons. Roc is a shooter who uses his size and grit to play effectively around the net.

Re: UML Recruiting, Building for 2018 and on

Been a while since we had brothers on the team!

Neutral Zone doesn't have much on either of these two, but did have this to say about Scout in the AJHL Top 180 in October.
Scout Truman #13 (F, L, Drumheller Dragons, Late 2002)- Was impressive as an ‘02 player against guys mostly two or three years older than him. Truman is an average size forward who makes an impact with the puck on his stick. He’s a quick thinker, doesn’t need much time if he sees a lane to get a pass through. He’s a setup man for his teammates and will usually dish it off instead of shooting himself. Truman could work on adding some strength as he can get knocked off the puck easily against bigger players. Grade: B-

For Roc, they had this to say in the CSSHL Midget Playoffs in April.
Roc Truman #72 (F, 2001 Yale)-Roc is a big bodied forward that moves extremely well in straight lines. He excelled down the walls and made good strong plays back to the middle off the rush. He picks up pucks well wherever they are; in his feet, backhand, or stretching out. He had a good quick release and by putting it all together it got Roc a few points and goals on the weekend to help his team.

Interesting quote from the Drumheller Dragons site ...
Assistant Coach Juliano Pagliero is in his first season with the River Hawks and was instrumental during the recruitment process which earned commitments from the Truman brothers.

They're probably not coming in till 2021 (I guess 2020 at the earliest), so it doesn't mean they'll be at the AJHL level the entire time anyway.

Not that long. Zack and Jake Kamrass were on the team together in 2014-15.

It will be 7 years by the time it actually happens, that was my point.

And if they come in at the same point, we'd have them for four years together.

I believe the coaching staff are looking for the best players regardless of league. It sounds like coach Pagliero has some contacts in the AJHL which is great. If you look at the Heisenberg site the AJHL may not have the number of recruits as some of the other leagues but programs like North Dakota, Denver, CC, Michigan and Wisconsin, to name a few, are recruiting players from that league. Don't forget the top player at UMass, Makar, played in the AJHL.

It's just nice to see the program recruiting for 2020 and beyond. It will be interesting to see how the Truman brothers develop over the next couple of years.

The younger brother looks especially talented. He was selected in both the WHL and USHL drafts and at 16 he's already producing at a rate similar to our older recruits in that league.

Matt brown producing for USA in finals vs Russia

The gold medal game is at 6:00 pm EST but it appears there is no free video feed of the game. The US lost to Russia in the preliminary round 4-3. The US pulled their goalie in a tied game trying for the win and the top seed in the medal round.
 
Re: UML Recruiting, Building for 2018 and on

Congratulations to Matt Brown and the US team for winning the gold medal at the World Junior A Challenge. The US defeated Russia 2-0 today with Matt assisting on both goals. He finished the tournament with 5 points (0-5-5) in 6 games.
