2014-15 Recruits:
Connor Light, 6'5'' Defenseman: "He has quick feet and good skill for a guy that big," says his prep coach, a former player at Yale University. The size is what caught most scouts' attention immediately, but upon further review there is more to Light's game than just his size. He'll play the body, but he's a smart player who knows the intricacies of the game. "He has tremendous gap control and a heavy shot."

Nick Desimone, 6'1'' Defenseman: "DeSimone’s offensive game has been outstanding this year and his ability to contribute offensively is very likely one of the biggest reasons Union stepped up its recruiting efforts. Not only is he the second leading scorer for the Junior Sabres with 8 goals & 19 assists for 27 points in 24 games, but DeSimone currently ranks first overall in scoring amongst all OJHL defenseman despite being in his first year in the league."

Ryan Scarfo, 6'0'' Forward: "He can become a high-end guy who scores and defends against the opposition's top lines. Union has a steal; he's someone who will help lead them to many more Frozen Four appearances."

Roman Ammirato, 5'7'' Center: “Roman brings an element to the power play and on the offensive side of the puck,” he said. “Defensively he is also very sound. To place expectations on a player at this point would not be fair, however I feel he will add great depth to our offensive punch, and be a contributor night-in and night-out. Now The one thing I do expect from Roman like all our players is to be a great teammate and a leader."

Kevin Shier, 6'0'' Forward: "Kevin is a gifted offensive player with a quick and accurate shot," Fortier said. "He has quick hands and is an amazing team first player. Look for Kevin to bring a smile to the rink everyday and bring an ability to score big goals."

Tyler Hynes, 5'11'' Forward: "He can be a great second or third line player," said Kaufman, who played Division I hockey at Miami (Ohio) from 2005-2009. "He'll play in front of the net on a power play, he's very good on the penalty kill, and he'll be a great energy guy. He'll finish checks, block shots, and do a lot of things not a lot of people are willing to do." Local product from Guilderland, also played with Jeff Taylor prior to Union.
