Little slow of step as compared to what he was...but that is to be expected.

He is still really good with the puck on his stick, showed good vision, didnt have a whole love of oppurtunities to put the puck in the net, but I do recall him ringing the post once.

Just a steady hockey player.

EDIT: Just saw this. CR Roughrider beat writer Jeff Johnson featured Nick in an article in the paper.

Really hoping no more 21 year olds...

I don't get the disdain for older freshman. Many, many older freshman are mature, good students who took longer to develop. Just because they are older doesn't mean they couldn't cut it academically as an 18-19 year-old. A few recent examples in Hockey East of older freshmen who've made most of opportunity such as Matt Gilroy (BU), Brian Flynn (Maine), etc...

It's not a disdain. I understand the need for schools like Lowell/MC to have those aged players on the roster. I just don't want to see too many of them. Just a personal thing.
 
Re: UML Recruiting Thread, 2014 and beyond

After watching lil les take until he was 17 to even look like he was going to grow (which he then did, a lot!!) and then take until 18 to start to look like he had any sort of muscle definition I agree with CHRR. Lil les was pretty good at hockey until the other kids matured and he did not. He got left behind, not because of skill level. When you play D, <5 ft and <90 lbs, no matter how good you are the huge, more mature kids run you over with little effort or out muscle you. Those kids who hit puberty late may have skill but just not have a body that is ready for the next step. I don't see it as an advantage to be older. If they were body mature and amazing players they wouldn't have been languishing in Jrs.
