Re: UNH Recruits - 2011 & 2012
Trevor van Riemsdyk, Ryan Randall, and the New Hampshire Jr. Monarchs have advanced to the Championship Round in the Eastern Junior Hockey League. They defeated Kyle Smith and the Jr. Bruins 3-2 this afternoon. TvR and Randall played solid defensively but did not figure in the scoring.
This was my first opportunity to see center Kyle Smith play. His tall, lanky stature and skating style is reminiscent of Jeff Silengo. Smith scored the Jr. Bruins second goal to tie the game early in the third period. With about 10 seconds left in the game, Smith dug the puck out from behind the Monarch's net and made a nice centering feed in front of goalie Brian Billett. The puck bounced around and hit a couple of sticks but did not go in. Smith, who is an Assistant Captain, was effective at faceoffs and passes the puck well. He also played on the point during the Jr. Bruins' powerplay. His season and, presumably, his junior career ended as he is scheduled to enroll at UNH next fall.
