Recruits beyond 2020

CAS
Red recruit Justin Ertel picked in the 3rd round (#79) by Dallas Stars

Similar to Matt Steinberg, Ertel was drafted 3 or 4 rounds higher than projected.

Incoming D Hank Kempf just drafted by the Rangers in the 7th Round, pick #208.

Hank Kempf. Nice

Yeah, go to Hahvahd just to stick it to Mom and Dad......

This actually would have been my wife and my reaction with our daughter.

Drafted in the same round as his cousin, Stephen Bâby, who was 7th Round, pick #188 in 1999.

Yes, but the one right below it should make you happy: Tyler Wishart is Westchester/Putnam Player of the Year.

“In just nine games this season, the forward had 22 goals and 11 assists to help lead John Jay to the Putnam/Northern Westchester championship in a season altered by the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was a fitting way to go out for a player whose skills are so pronounced that, as a sophomore, he was recruited by and committed to Cornell, one of the nation’s top Division I collegiate programs.”

Said he also “considered playing for the University of New Hampshire, Quinnipiac and Boston University.”

Not that im wealthy or anything, but I wonder as an alum, if theres anything I could do to provide extra incensitives for potential recruits.

Keeping in mind that I'm not your attorney, and none of this post should be construed as legal advice:

Recent court rulings and changes in NCAA regs mean that college athletes may now earn money from their name, image, and likeness. I'm of the opinion that this also means it should be relatively simple for a "booster" - who in the past would have been prohibited from giving anything of real value to a student-athlete or a recruit - to use those changes to provide such incentives. The easiest example I can think of is that any local business owner could just sign the athlete to an endorsement deal, which puts money in the athlete's pocket (or dangle the promise of such an endorsement deal to a recruit, presumably).

Time will tell whether that's actually how things are going to shake out.

I thought I read where boosters were expressly prohibited from engaging in NIL agreements

I think Spartan combat associating with Cornell wrestling has made recruitment easier? Is something akin to this in hockey a possibility?

I agree - wish he had taken a closer look at Cornell. I got this comment on him from my brother a recently retired Taft teacher, who watched him play at Taft for 2 years.

I was impressed with him during games. He is a superb skater and because he keeps his head up he is a good distributor. He committed to Harvard verbally when he was 15 years old. Like most kids with D1 talent, he departed after his junior year, …

Is this regarding this player?

Yes.

Today - Sunday August 1, 2021 is a big day in the college hockey calendar. 2005 birth year players can now commit to the college of their choice. (Harvard has two '05 commits already). Here's more from Chris Heisenberg.

Update - Harvard now up to 3 recruits already!

If I become rich and end up having a lot of money to throw away, I would love to start an NHL franchise and bring an AHL affiliate somewhere close in upstate NY while providing a lot of awesome summer gigs for cornell hockey players (running summer camps and get richly rewarded) in order to make cornell hockey the most attractive D1 destination.

FWIW there are already three AHL franchises within 90 miles of Ithaca.

I meant having an ahl team affiliated with the NHL team for the sake of having them work closely. I suppose buying an AHL team nearby and encouraging some interaction between cornell hockey and the ahl team could also be beneficial as well and cost far less.

I understood. My point was you could get a new NHL team and then create an affiliation with one of the existing AHL teams. Because there's no place close to Ithaca that doesn't already have a team. Albany is probably the closest possibility.

Wasn’t sure where to put this but just a heads up that Travis Mitchell is at the Boston Bruins development camp this week. The camp started this morning and runs through Friday.

Incoming mens freshman announced...

Here is a link to the roster

Team seems particularly large (physically) this year.

Of the 30 on the roster, only 4 players under 6' tall. 14 players 6'2" or taller...

I thought Muzyka split?

Agreed, I figured Muzyka wouldn't be back after having only played 7 games in the NAHL. Must not have gotten a better offer, but I'd be surprised if he sees the ice. Speaking of walk-on dmen, Song is no longer on the roster, so that departure has been confirmed.

Not gonna lie, I love seeing "Fifth Year" on three of those players, particularly on those three players.

Agreed. But I would love it if all the players who were affected from the next three classes also have the same option, and I do not think that is the case unless they didn't matriculate last year.

14 new players skating at once is, by historical standards, insane.

Largest effective (first year playing) entering classes (F/D/G) since freshmen became eligible.

14 2022 7/5/2
14 1993 9/4/1
14 1979 9/3/2

To give an idea of what first year classes looked like when freshmen couldn't play:

17 1976 10/6/1
15 1965 9/4/2

And let's not forget the greatest first year class ever:

19 1958 12/5/2

which is what happens when you start a program.

Wow... that team is enormous.

how does it compare to the other ivies is what matters. we need to compete with brown/princ/hard/yale to have a decent season.

We’ll start slowish but we’ll all be impressed and optimistic right around the end of January

I know you're worried, honeychild, but I still think you're going a bit overboard.

We're returning 4 experienced D and three lines. Considering our track record on attracting top goalies, I'm not all that concerned. We'll be at least in the middle of the pack by my reckoning.

Plus I have to imagine the rest of the ECAC (at least, the rest that didn't play) are in the same boat. Harvard has their usual glut of (hopefully underperforming) draft guys, but other than that, it's all going to be a mess.
