Matt Buckles is headed to Cornell in 2013, according to the Big Red Puckhead.
Buckles is a highly regarded '95 from the Toronto area.
Also, Cornell got a commitment from Gavin Stoick, 6'3", 215lb USNTDP defenseman from Oregon. He was recruited by BU, Michigan, Yale, Harvard and Cornell.

Nice. Always great to add a forward who can score, and it's doubtful that any team will have a deeper and more talented roster of defensemen than what Schafer is compiling.
Here's an article about Stoick moving from forward to defense a year ago:

Correct me if I'm wrong (on this list, do I really need to say that?), but I believe the last Cornell defenseman to move there from being a forward was named Lodboa. Not too shabby on this score either.

Harry Orr, Bruce Pattison, and Steve Giuliani were also moved from forward to defense by Ned...in addition to Lodboa. All except Giuliani became first-team All-Americans. Three of the four regular defensemen (played two defense pairings in those days, with an occasional respite) on the great 1968-9 team were converted forwards (Lodboa, Pattison, and Giuliani). That team averaged 6.55 goals per game.
IIRC, Joakim Ryan was moved back from forward by his previous team.

OK you guys, I guess I'm going to have to quit working if I'm ever going to be able to post about Lodboa. Not fair.::cry::
But no, his stats weren't too shabby:

I don't think that this is correct. Joakim played D in the USHL and he played D for the Devils in the Atlantic Youth Hockey League (Joakim Ryan - Atlantic Youth Stats/Bio (http://www.atlantichockey.org/player_information.php?playerid=107138&seasonid=14)).
I'm not aware that he ever played forward.

I'm sure you're right. My rapidly-fading memory told me somebody in the current mix got moved back to the blueline, and Ryan seemed like the obvious one.

Apparently if he had narrowed his choices down to WHL and North Dakota so Cornell wasn't in the cards anyway. At the very least he used the offer of a NoDak scholarship to leverage a trade of his rights to the WHL team he preferred.

The Cornell connection here is that Reece Willcox, BCHL defenseman currently committed to Cornell, was one of the players traded from Portland to Everett in return for Jones.
From this article http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20120508/SPORTS/705099953/1004
QuoteWillcox is considered a top prospect. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound native of Surrey, B.C., was a third-round bantam pick in 2009 and was ranked 90th among North American skaters by the NHL Central Scouting Service for this year's NHL draft. This season he played for Merritt of the junior A British Columbia Hockey League, registering five goals and 18 assists in 52 games. However, he is currently committed to attend Cornell University.
"He's someone we still have to try and recruit," Davidson said. "But he moves the puck very well and is very smart. He's not a guy who's flashy, but he's a really solid player."

I sure hope we can hold onto Wilcox. A couple years ago we lost Mark Scheifele, who turned out to be a top-10 NHL pick.
Two current players, Bardreau and Ryan, were named to the United States National Junior Evaluation Camp roster (http://www.usahockey.com/Template_Usahockey.aspx?NAV=TU_04_01_06&id=317495).
Also, Big Red Puckhead is reporting (http://bigredpuckhead.blogspot.com/2012/06/hudson-goes-red.html) that Cornell has received a commitment from Woody Hudson for the 2013-14 season. I found this somewhat interesting:
Quote from: BRPHe had originally committed to RIT last August but had a change of heart during the winter.
So, in a matter of two months, Cornell has benefited from players decommitting from Michigan State and RIT.

A Rochester area guy. Nice. A quick google search shows a USHL fight video as one of the first hits, and a little more digging turns up this list:
http://dropyourgloves.com/Fights/FightCard.aspx?Season=2012&Player=83218&League=22
A lot of size, and he likes to mix it up. A physical player for sure with 121 PIM in 52 games. If he has any puck skills (29 points suggests he does), it's easy to see why Schafer would want him.
AFAIK, Hudson will be the first black player in Cornell hockey history.
Quote from: TrotskyAFAIK, Hudson will be the first black player in Cornell hockey history.
I was wondering about that, too.
Is Rochester a hotbed for hockey?
I'm hearing a "Woooo-dy! Wooo-dy!" chant like on Cheers.
Quote from: WederQuote from: TrotskyAFAIK, Hudson will be the first black player in Cornell hockey history.
I was wondering about that, too.
Not exactly.
Damian Rocke, who holds the Cornell record for PIM-to-TOI ratio, was the last black player to suit up for the Big Red. He was a soccer player who, along with Ryan Kirwan, spent the 1996-97 season on the varsity hockey team.
There have been black players on the JV team. An eLynah thread from a couple years ago mentioned someone who played a little for the varsity team in the early or mid 80s (edit: the unofficial hockey program historian idenifies him as Warren Fields, who played one game in 1983-84). In 1993, I was in a seminar with Steve Christian, who was from Shaker Heights, OH.
I do believe that if he plays regularly, Woody Hudson would be the first black Cornell men's hockey player to be a mainstay in the lineup.
"Woody Hudson" is an awesome name.
Quote from: French Rage"Woody Hudson" is an awesome name.
I think he not-quite-as-awesome given name is Woodruff Hudson. I bet his attitude towards his English nickname is the opposite of Douglas Murray's.

Warren Fields. One game during the 1983-84 season. Too lazy to look up which one.
Quote from: SnapperIs Rochester a hotbed for hockey?
I don't know if greater Rochester is a hockey hotbed, but Cole Bardreau is from Fairport, and Ryan Callahan, Rangers' captain, is from Hilton and Brian Gionta, Les Canadiens' captain (capitaine?), is from Greece, now better known as the home of cruel and crude teenage boys and a newly wealthy school bus monitor.

There are 4 AAA franchises for youth in the Upstate NY area that I'm aware of, the Syracuse Nationals, Buffalo Regals, Buffalo Saints and Rochester Alliance. These teams aren't great, more middle of the pack for most birth years. See AAA Hockey Rankings - 1999 (http://myhockeyrankings.com/rank.php?y=2011&a=p&v=114).
Even on a mediocre AAA team there can be some standouts. I was at the NAPS tourney in Buffalo this past weekend and I saw two Upstate area kids who have a shot to be D1 players, Michael Peca's son (on one of the Buffalo teams) and a left defenseman named Farrance who I think plays for Syracuse. There are probably more.
P.S. I forgot the West Seneca Wings and Perinton Blades!! Make it 6 area teams.
Quote from: RatushnyFanP.S. I forgot the West Seneca Wings and Perinton Blades!! Make it 6 area teams.
I think there's a few more in the Buffalo area -- Wheatfield Blades, Amherst Knights & Hamburg Hawks, as well as the Monarchs and Jr. Americans in the Rochester area. When you get to the U16 group in Buffalo there are two more options -- the Jr. Sabres and the Red Raiders. In Rochester, Maksymum has an U18 team.
Each city also has a Jr. A & B option.

USA Hockey has invited 40 top U.S. hockey players eligible for the 2013 NHL Draft to participate in the inaugural All-American Prospects game Sept. 29 in Buffalo.
Michael McCarron is among those invited.

Awesome. First hockey player from one of the high schools assigned to the CAAAN committee that I've been chairing for the last 17 years.
As I'm sure most of you already know the US Mens's Under 18 team that we play tonight has a player, Michael McCarron, who has already committed to Cornell for next season (in fact, it's probably already on this thread somewhere, but I don't feel like looking). This roster (http://www.usahockey.com/USANTDP/Roster.aspx) lists where all the players have committed to, but four of them (Goalies Thatcher Dekmo, Curtis Frye, and Hunter Miska, and defenseman Clint Lewis) don't have any commitments listed. Does anyone know if any of these four players are potential Cornell recruits?

The USHR article about this said that his father owns a business and with the improving economy and improving business, Nolan's aid package changed. He was totally committed to Cornell, but it was a case of either paying a lot to go to Cornell, or a full ride at Michigan (or BU, his other option). Can't blame the kid for making that choice, and good to know he wasn't recruited away because there wasn't a letter of intent.

Quote from: MARIO ANNICCHIARICO,Times ColonistDeJong de-committed from Cornell University because of complications with the financial aid package the school was offering. The two sides spent six weeks trying to iron it all out, but in the end the 17-year-old opted out of Cornell and on Monday committed to the University of Michigan, which has a spot on defence for him next season. "They have a great business school and great tradition with the hockey program," said DeJong.

Too bad. On paper (screen) he looks like a topnotch player. ::bang::
The USHR article about this said that his father owns a business and with the improving economy and improving business, Nolan's aid package changed. He was totally committed to Cornell, but it was a case of either paying a lot to go to Cornell, or a full ride at Michigan (or BU, his other option). Can't blame the kid for making that choice, and good to know he wasn't recruited away because there wasn't a letter of intent.
As the father of a high school senior (who, while she has academic talent, has limited athletic ability), I can certainly understand why taking a full ride at a well-regarding school such as Michigan would be preferable to paying boatloads of cash to Cornell (as much as it pains me to say that).

Also, while it's not fun to see a well-regarded recruit slip away, it's nice to see a bit of substantive difference between Cornell's need-based financial aid (no air quotes around it denoting "we need a defenseman so you get financial aid") and scholarships at sports factories.
Whether that moral high ground is actually WORTH losing a well-regarded recruit is a separate issue, of course.

Better that distance be in not lowering academic qualifications. Losing kids because you have the "moral courage" to soak middle class parents for ridiculously inflated tuition is not my reading of the "I would found" mission.

According to twitter and some other sources McCarron has now decided to go to Western Michigan. Tough loss for the Big Red.
I think we need to stop saying that these recruits have "committed" to one school or another. ::rolleyes::
on twitter yesterday, it was McCarron himself who said he committed to W. Mich. FWIW, somebody asked what's up and he said "I can't get into Cornell man my act was not good enough".

How is that sour grapes? To me, it sounds like he really did want to come to Cornell, but just couldn't get his ACT high enough, so he's having to go to his safety school. It's not like he's running the Cornell program down and saying he never wanted to go there anyway.

McCarron didn't say that -- It was just Marty's joking reaction (by creating the imaginary quote) as to what went through Marty's mind when he saw that McCarron was going to WMU -- that is, the loss to Q-pac was so awful that it made a recruit change his commitment. That is not at all what occurred in this case.
Ha, when he said "act" I thought it was hip lingo for his overall academic situation. I forgot about the ACTs.

If he had written that I would interpret it as sour grapes. If you don't, that's your prerogative. The wording reads negative to me. Apparently it was Marty putting words in his keyboard, so it's irrelevant anyway.

Sorry for any confusion. I really did think that he had decided against attending Cornell until I read the details here. It's really too bad he can't make the cut academically.

Quote from: jtn27As I'm sure most of you already know the US Mens's Under 18 team that we play tonight has a player, Michael McCarron, who has already committed to Cornell for next season (in fact, it's probably already on this thread somewhere, but I don't feel like looking). This roster (http://www.usahockey.com/USANTDP/Roster.aspx) lists where all the players have committed to, but four of them (Goalies Thatcher Dekmo, Curtis Frye, and Hunter Miska, and defenseman Clint Lewis) don't have any commitments listed. Does anyone know if any of these four players are potential Cornell recruits?
Now we do.

From http://unitedstatesofhockey.com/2012/09/18/2012-13-ntdp-preview-u-s-national-under-18-team/
QuoteClint Lewis (Not yet committed) — At 6-2, 206, Lewis is more of the stay-at-home kind of defenseman and plays the role well. He gets involved in games physically and is able to get the job done mostly in his own end. Lewis is durable, dependable and strong. He showed more offensive capabilities in his days at Shattuck-St. Mary's, but his commitment to defense makes him an intriguing prospect and should keep him on some teams' draft boards.

On Twitter (https://twitter.com/Anthony_Angello), Anthony Angello has committed to Cornell. Here's an interesting video about the kid:

He's not to be confused with Anthony DeAngelo, the youngest player ever in the USHL (http://www.ridertownusa.com/news/v/anthony-deangelo-youngest-ever-in-the-ushl/357/), who's committed to BU.

I missed this piece of snark until now, but it reminds me of a press release I got once for a software performance analyzer. The presser ominously stated that half of all software performs below average. I don't know which kind of average they were using, so it's hard to tell whether that release was very unsurprising or tautological; in fairness, I suspect it was the former.
CU recruit Anthony Angello had a goal and two assists in a losing effort against IHS last night at Lynah.

I like this blog post (http://www.westerncollegehockeyblog.com/western-college-hockey-recruiting-ncaa/2013/1/11/3865784/michael-booth-commits-to-cornell) where Booth is referred to as a "big time prospect"
Oh YouTube. Never change.

Christian Hilbrich '16
Jeff Kubiak '17
Michael Booth '18? (he's only 16 yrs. old)

What, no Stephen Baby? Sorry, the "pipeline" I was referring to was the USHL one: "Cornell University is a member of the ECAC and has 11 USHL alumni on the roster this season for the Ivy League school; Cole Bardreau (Team USA), Armand de Swardt (Chicago Steel), Andy Iles (Team USA), Vince Mihalek (Cedar Rapids RoughRiders), Joakim Ryan (Dubuque Fighting Saints), John McCarron (Lincoln Stars), Brian Ferlin (Indiana Ice), Jacob MacDonald (Waterloo Black Hawks), Christian Hilbrich (Indiana Ice), Gavin Stoick (Team USA), and Teemu Tiitinen (Lincoln Stars)."

I understood what you were referring to and I was just trying make a related point. It's no coincidence that with Topher as an assistant coach that Illinois has become a natural recruiting area for us.

Quote from: RobbWhen I first looked at that box score, I quickly skimmed down the list and thought, "What's so fun about that? 10 goals and he only managed to get the first one?" Then I looked more closely...
Hmm...averaging a hat trick per game? Not bad.

Going by Heisenberg we now have 11 players incoming for Fall 2013 (http://www.tbrw.info/seasons/2013/2013_Future_Players.html). Presumably some of them will defer.
Rauter looks like he needs another year. Sade probably needs a year in a better junior league. Buckles and McCarron, wow. Hopefully ready to go next year. Hudson is 20, it's now or never.
Quote from: RatushnyFanHudson is 20, it's now or never.
Didn't RPI have a goalie who entered when he was about 23? :) (Neil Little, maybe?)

Yeah, I saw. I'm sure Ralph will know who I mean.
Nobody beats Bertrand for aged frosh, though. :)
Just curious what options are out there when you're 21 or 22..........how would one improve his game while maintaining NCAA eligibility?

I don't think that RPI has had anyone entering older than 21 since I have paid attention, except perhaps someone who transferred in as an upperclassman.

I saw that discussion on Twitter; not that I'm specifically doubting the assertion that he's no longer committed, but nothing yet on Heisenberg, and nothing yet from Hudson himself on Twitter.

Judd Brackett has established a good record for accuracy since he began congratulating college-bound kids on their commitments. Although we haven't seen confirmation of Hudson decommitting, I anticipate we will see something soon.

No mention of college on his Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/wolftgod) page at the moment, though it's updated to show his Chicago Steel affiliation.
Not for us, but a nice story on the ECAC site just the same. (http://www.ecachockey.com/men/members/dartmouth/20132201_Caleb_Nelson)
I heard from Alex Rauter's former coach that his shoulder injury will cause him to miss the rest of the season.

Chris Heisenberg doesn't even list him among northeastern players. This seems to imply (1) Hamilton is really flying under the radar, (2) high-school hockey in Syracuse isn't very high level and Hamilton's stats don't mean much, or (3) he's going to the OHL.

Re. (2), remember Matt Connors? Lighting it up in upstate NY high school hockey doesn't guarantee success (and having seen a lot of youth hockey in Buffalo and Syracuse, I would argue that for the most part hockey in Buffalo is higher level than Syracuse). With few exceptions (e.g. MN high school hockey), you need to exceed in junior hockey to make it in D-1 hockey.

BC is tied for third in pairwise with 9 prep hockey players on the roster. Junior puts more focus on hockey, but it's not the only path to D1 or even the NHL.
Agreed but playing four years of high school hockey without any junior hockey is rarely a successful route to D1, particularly in NY state.

If Boston prep hockey is anything like it was back in the 70's and 80's, it's a different breed of cat. Catholic Memorial used to have teams that could have competed in the NCAA.

Many of the players did soon thereafter--mostly for BC and BU.
The jump from prep school to D1 is made a lot less rarely today than it was 20, 30, or 40 years ago.
Quote from: The jump from prep school to D1 is made a lot less rarely today than it was 20, 30, or 40 years ago.
That's because the growth of hockey across the US has led to diversity of playing options and increasing age of D1 hockey players. New England prep hockey is a distant second to MN in terms skill, but it still produces a significant number of D1 and NHL players. Hockey East and some Ivies recruit heavily from local prep schools as well as some of the Ivies. Yale also has 9 prep players on their roster. Finding a prep player outside of Hockey East/ECAC like Boo Nieves (Kent -> Michigan) is extremely rare.
The reason NY high school hockey isn't great is because the best players leave for the OHL (Dustin Brown, Patrick Kane) or for New England (Andy Iles).

How much of this phenomenon do you think is a product of the USHL becoming a first-rate developmental league for college-bound players?

On the other hand, he was the next-to-last defenseman drafted by Dubuque in the USHL in 2010 (http://ushlprospectblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/post-draft-team-profiles-dubuque.html). Maybe his -26 reflects his nose for scoring, and Mike plans to use him only on pp's until he learns to play defense and not take stupid penalties. (Hummm, why does this sound familiar?)

Of course, offensive defensemen can also give up the puck or be caught completely out of position on powerplays, and RPI has had many such players over the years. :(
