Thanks to BRP for the twitter notification that we picked up yet another defenseman, Reece Willcox (http://www.merrittcentennials.com/leagues/newsletter.cfm?clientID=3359&leagueID=8957&page=57857) from Merritt of the BCHL.
Who's better, the one lost or the one gained?

And how about we have one thread for recruits, so those of us that don't follow it as well can look at the thread and see what's happened.
I like the fact he is listed as [C] on the roster and he has leadership despite being a year or two younger than over half the team.
Welcome to Cornell Reece! BRP states Reece Wilcox is a "B"level prospect on the NHL Central Scouting watch list, which would project him as a mid-round NHL draft pick. Sounds like [another] great prospect!
Here's a nice article about Reece:

I like this:
QuoteAs far as the NHL is concerned, Willcox will get to play at a higher level in the NCAA Division 1 next season rather than stay in the BCHL, which, make no mistake about it, is probably the best junior A league in the world. Nonetheless, Willcox will get to play with a Cornell team that is at the top of their division.
and this:
Quote"I think something to do with business, like economics," Willcox says of what he might take in school. Willcox's father Darryl is the part owner of a pest control company in Surrey, while his mother Barb is the owner of a cleaning business.

Could be worse. It could be green and yellow.
