Thanks to Without a Peer where I picked up this tidbit on potential recruits from its posting on USA U-18 Select Team now competing in the Hlinka Tournament in Czech Republic / Slovakia, under Seth Appert. Does anyone remember his father?
F Sam Kurker (St. John's Prep, Massachusetts)
6'2", 200
Kurker is almost certainly on RPI's radar at the very least - he told the Boston Globe in March that academics are very important to him and that he was stressing the SAT because of Ivy League concerns. Throw in the fact that his father played for Union in Division III in the 1980s, and he's got local connections. As a big, physical scoring threat, he'd be a great addition in Troy if the stars align correctly (and a nice ***-for-tat since Union's got a player in Josh Jooris whose father played at RPI), but he does seem destined for the ECAC at any rate.
