Recruits beyond 2020
scoop85
Cornell picked up a commitment from 16-year old center Tyler Wishart from Westchester County. He was recently drafted in the 7th round of the USHL draft by Lincoln. Neutral Zone describes him this way: “Speed. Speed. Speed with acceleration and the edges to get to the goal. Tyler played with tremendous pace. He can stop and start on a dime and his mobility and ability to make cuts make him tough to defend. He won almost every face-off and was setting the table for his teammates all game...Athletic, fast and dangerous with possession, he’s a D1 prospect and a good one.”
Just what I like in a hockey player: "Speed. Speed. Speed with acceleration".
"If a player won't go in the corners, he might as well take up checkers."
-Ned Harkness
Is that another way of saying "small"?

Oh, for a minute, I thought that read: "Topher".... Sorry.

But he sounds fantastic. And who knows, he might get stronger and even faster.

Extremely proud and honored to announce my commitment to play college hockey at Cornell University. Beyond thankful to my teammates, coaches, and family for all their support during my journey. #BigRedFamily pic.twitter.com/yzLLshqKpK

But it looks like he's a checking forward. 6G, 12A in 43 games with Waterloo last year. C rated speed by NHL Central Scouting according to his profile on Waterloo's webpage.

Considering that the magician "left business school in 2005 to pursue his love of magic full time", no, he's probably not the same person as the Czech under-20 hockey player.

And here I thought Czeching forward would be the best we could do on this.

Ondrej Psenicka will be our third Czech and our first from Prague.

He's a goalie who plays for Des Moines in the USHL.

He's probably the first player named Remington we've had in the program.
likely one of the first from Wisconsin as well. [www.eliteprospects.com] has him as a 22-23 commit

A Brit! So would this be our first recruit from the UK (paging Trotsky)?
EDIT: I see the legendary Pete Wheelright who arrived in Ithaca in 1959 is listed on TBRW as being from the UK
He's from Cobham, which is just up the road from Guildford where there's a professional team in the EIHL. Wonder if there's a connection?
