Recruits beyond 2020

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".

Is that another way of saying "small"?

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

And slower.

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

— Ondrej Psenicka (@o_psenicka) December 2, 2020

At 19 he is listed at 6' 6" and 205 lbs. - hoping he can skate like other bigger guys we have seen last couple of years. LGR

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

Jiri Kloboucek (1996), Dubi
Dan Svoboda (2001), Benesov

And he's on the Czech U20 national team.

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.

C rated by NHL Central Scouting means he projects as a late round NHL draft pick. He was a big scorer prior to his year with Waterloo. Seems to be an intriguing prospect. Can’t wait to see him in Lynah.

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.

JESUS PEOPLE I KNOW LET'S JUST RUN WITH THE BIT

I'm going back in time with my bit. rewinding.

Damn, wonder if the team can get hockey stockings made to match his funky socks. would make a great third alternative un i

eLynah is not, as a rule, a good place for comedy.

I'm making magician jokes every time he does something good. Maybe even if he does something bad.

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

Ironically Cornell lacrosse backup faceoff guy Mitch Rothstein happens to be an accomplished magician.

Jiri Kloboucek (1996), Dubi
Dan Svoboda (2001), Benesov

And the second Cornell player whose jersey on the back includes a pronunciation guide, at least freshman year.

Dan Svoboda is close enough to "Ron Swoboda."

Maybe before the Juniors, he went through a Harry Potter phase and there was a time warp.

Excited and honored to announce my commitment to Cornell University. I want to thank my family, friends, and coaches who have helped me along the way! #GoBigRed pic.twitter.com/upnCNpttHF

— Remington Keopple (@remi_keopple1) December 24, 2020

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

Evan Salmela '07 (Whitefish Bay)

Unfortunately Ondrej Psenicka was one of the last 3 cuts from the Czech junior team so we won’t get to see him in the World Junior tournament beginning today

New recruit, Ben Robertson. A defenseman from Virginia, he plays for the powerhouse Mount Charles Academy program in Rhode Island. He’s on their U16 team so it will be awhile before he makes it to Ithaca. His Twitter profile shows he’s an Omaha Lancers prospect in the USHL.

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

6'4", 205# D-man. Right up Schafer's alley.

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?

Dog gone going!
