Quote from: scoop85I still find it off-putting that 17 and 18 year-old kids can be traded in junior hockey

I thought that only happened in major junior (Canadian tier 1), but I guess it makes sense that it also does in the USHL (US tier 1).  Are trades allowed in Junior A (Canadian Tier 2, e.g., BCJHL, AJHL, etc)?

Why not put it here. The team can certainly use offense. But she's awfully short. I'm afraid she'll get lost on the ice.

She is apparently 5'6", 150lb (http://stlaaablues.com/team_roster.php?team_id=412084&league_id=32761). That still seems barely big enough to fit "Mutschelknaus" on a jersey. ;-) (I don't know if the Cornell women use name plates.)

Quote from: scoop85New recruit -- Cam Donaldson, F, The Gunnery School.

Here's what Jeff Cox from the SB Nation College Hockey Blog said about Donaldson last December:

Cameron Donaldson, Jr., LC, 7/14/98 - Despite being undersized he had the most upside of any player on the ice all day in Exeter. He flies around the ice, he's got great speed and good hands and is agile on his feet. He was the catalyst of a very good young line that Chris Baudo threw out there with '99 Zach Pellegrino and '98 Matt Danner. Donaldson does a terrific job of distributing the puck and being patient enough and skilled enough to draw defenders his way before finding open teammates.

I'm not using it as if he's signed a national LOI, if this is what you mean. I realize the commitment of both sides are non-binding at this stage.

QuoteGreen Bay Gamblers center Connor Murphy has switched his commitment from Michigan to Cornell and will join their program next year.


Murphy committed to the program two years ago as a budding star playing for Caledonia in Canadian Junior B. After a year in the USHL with the Chicago Steel Murphy signed his letter of intent and was expected to join the 2015 class but instead went back to the USHL for another year. Now he has been released from his letter of intent and the two have parted ways.

Speaking of the ECAC, Sucks picks up #50, 123, & 196. Yale gets #122 & 175. Clarkson, #138. Q gets #126. RIP, #185. These are the only ECAC teams I saw.

There are lots of kids that can score in juniors. But only a few have the inner talent to be molded into grind-it-out role players.

Unfortunately, Nelson recently signed with London (OHL).

Quote from: KeithKI suppose it's good that we're getting commitments from these guys because that's the way college hockey is now and it would mean something was wrong if we weren't.  But we've seen enough guys decommit (both CU and elsewhere) that it's hard to really put any stock in a 16 year old.

Interesting that a kid who's not even 16 was concerned that he needed to act "before the opportunity could've slipped through my fingers..." While we know flipping commitments is becoming rather routine, it's good to know that at least for now he's honed-in on Cornell.

Quote from: TrotskyLeahy's Elite Prospects page (http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=240521).

He's a '97, already 6-3 201 D with 19-29-48 ahem 72 in 44 GP in the GOJHL last year.  He will be at Penticton in the BCHL this year.  He's from Waterloo, ON.

Limoges' USHL numbers are great.  23-34-57 in 59 career games, for 0.97 PPG.  In comparison, Tschantz was 0.83, Ferlin 0.79, John McCarron 0.62, Angello 0.49, Murphy 0.48, Freschi 0.45, Hilbrich 0.44, Jillson 0.42, Kubiak 0.40, Tiitinen 0.37.

He's also improving.  He was 50th in league scoring last year.  He is 8th this year.

Quote from: scoop85For those looking for some non-NHL hockey during the break, we have a number of guys playing in the World Junior A Tournament.  Alex Limoges and Alex Green are playing for the U.S., which is 1-1 after beating Canada East 3-1 last night (the U.S. dominated, as the Canada East goalie stood on his head to keep it from 6-1) following a 1-0 upset loss to the Czechs in the first game.  Both of our recruits looked good; although Limoges did not register a point he had a number of good chances, and it appeared that he was playing on the top U.S. line.  Green was very solid on defense. The U.S. plays Switzerland in a quarterfinal game today at 5:30 ET

We have 3 recruits on Canada West -- goalie Matthew Galadja, and forwards Kyle Betts and Michael Regush.  Canada West is also 1-1, with a 6-2 win over Switzerland, and 5-3 loss to Russia.  Galadja has played both games in net.  Betts looks like a terrific two-way player, and his speed really stands out. Regush didn't get on the scoresheet but acquitted himself fine. Canada plays the Czechs in another quarterfinal tonight at 9:30 ET.

The games are streamed free and can be accessed here (http://www.hockeycanada.ca/en-ca/National-Championships/Men/World-Junior-A/2016/Stats/Schedule?tournament=true).

Quote from: TrotskyAccording to Elite Prospects, 3 Cornell commitments (Kyle Betts   , Matthew Cairns, Cameron Donaldson) have moved to the Powell River Kings (BCHL) over the last 12 months, joining a fourth (Tristan Mullin).  Per their website these are the only 4 college commits on their roster.  Nanaimo II?

If so, I don't like it.  I'd much rather have our guys playing at a level where there are other NCAA level players.  Being the top 4 on a single team can't be great for development.

Quote from: TimVI could be wrong, but I think there have been cadets from Taiwan and formerly South VietNam in the past. The admissions website states that an applicant must be a "U.S. citizen (exception: see International Admissions.)"

The International Admissions page (http://www.usma.edu/admissions/SitePages/Pros_Cadets_International.aspx) includes the statement "Up to 60 international cadets may study at West Point at any given time. Eligible countries are selected on an annual basis by the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Department of Defense. The American embassies notify invited nations to nominate up to six candidates per country to compete for admission to West Point."

So they COULD get two good forward lines a year from Sweden. Maybe six defensemen from Canada.  Coupla goaltenders from Finland.  Probably no Russians.

We've always had defections; everybody's always had defections.  They do seem more frequent now, but that may be more a matter of knowing more about the commitments, and earlier.

IINM there is a second G coming in this Fall, but beyond that I know zippo, and he could be another "now go out there and keep the team aggregate GPA high, kid!"

BTW, Galadja appears to have taken a big leap forward (http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=253634) this year.  IINM the BCHL is a scorers league and his numbers are quite impressive (http://bchl.ca/goalie-stats).  Robson, the guy above him, is a Minny commit.

Certainly this year are change in playing style has been most noticeable, as we're really pushing the pace and the defense is consistently joining the rush. Where we are a bit lacking is in the high-end stick skills that the top blue chippers possess.  Anyone who says we haven't changed our game isn't paying attention.

As for Limoges, it's unfortunate as he looked like he would've been an excellent addition. I think we still have quality forwards coming in - I think Betts, Mullin, Motley, Regush, and Locke are scheduled for next year, and they've all been productive.

Quote from: andyw2100I'm by no means defending the kid. You can't go around shoving refs. But to be fair, it looked like the kid shoved the ref about as hard as the ref had shoved the kid, and the ref just happened to fall. It's not as if the kid punched the ref in the face or something.

Yeah, knowing me, I might have done the same thing as the kid. Refs certainly can't shove players without good justification. I didn't see it here. If it wasn't for the boards, the kid might have fallen, just like the ref.  

I actually wish that the kid kept his cool and reported the ref. But as I said, I'd have a chance that I'd do the same.

Actually you should re-watch the video.  The ref had grabbed a piece of jersey to steer the kid away from mid-ice and over to the penalty box - and that should be OK for a ref to do I'd think.  The kid then throws an elbow back at the ref in what looks like an attempt to get the ref to let go of the jersey.  The ref's "shove" of the kid happens right after that - and watching it a few times it's really more like a gentle push in the direction of the box.  it's just a little arm motion- the legs don't even change.

But when the kid turns around he puts his whole body into it and throws a two-handed shove that is basically a cross-check minus the stick.


Sorry, the kid is a punk and 100% at fault.  That was enough for a multiple game suspension in men's rec leagues I played in.  He should definitely be suspended in a high school setting.

Quote from: andyw2100My main point was that the fact that the ref fell made it look more dramatic than it was.

I should know better than to feed the trolls, but the false assumption being made here is that the lost commits no longer wanted to come to Cornell. Circumstances outside of the control of the coaching staff, the school, the kids, and their families dictated the changes, nothing more. So crawl back under that rock, ithacat, before you make yourself sound even more stupid.

Quote from: scoop85I had assumed that these "decommitments" were not the result of a change of heart by the respective players.  Ithacat's comment made little sense given the way the team has played this year.

I think what is left is that the player changed his mind because he liked another program. That's how I'm reading this.

Maybe the kid is not smart enough to get into Cornell. That does happen.

Coaches pursue kids who seem to be smart enough to get in, but as they progress in their education, guess what, their grades and scores don't make it.

If so, there are other places that'll take them.

I don't have any idea if that's what happened.

Quote from: Trotsky

Quote from: RatushnyFanPenn State is just crushing it in terms of grabbing AYHL (mostly NY/NJ/CT) talent.  Sternschein, Paquette, Crespo, Dowd, Gratton, Goldowski, Agriogianis and Barratt all grew up playing for AYHL teams.  Barratt is freakishly good, he's one to watch.  Agriogianis is the hardest working youth hockey player I've ever seen.  I've seen all of them play except Crespo.

That's amazing.  How?  Are you a scout?  A youth coach?

Quote from: upprdeckits has only been a recent thing that many of the colleges at cornell have started to change admission policies.. some had a bias towards athletes that greatly affected who was getting in.. whether this caused issue for hockey i dont know, but several profs were called out for making it hard to some coaches to compete.

IIRC this is what happened to John McCarron's insanely talented brother, by his own laughing admission.  He was committed to Cornell, he took his entrance exams (do Canadians take SATs or do they have some maple syrup and snowmobiling test or something?), got his scores back and tweeted "Welp -- Plan B it is!  :)"

Poor guy.  He had to settle for being drafted in the 1st Round by the Canadians.

There is a lot of interesting material on that page. I am quite surprised that the 25% and 75% marks for Math SATs given there for RPI are the same as for Cornell and Dartmouth. I expected RPI to be lower although probably that is the case for the verbal marks (or whatever they are called now). I also suspect that the RPI women scored higher than the men based purely upon the fact that more of the RPI women major in technical fields.

I also note that like our current and previous Presidents, Union doesn't find it necessary to divulge such information. :-D

I think that I misinterpreted the SAT scores. It is probably for the general student body, not just hockey players. While I am still surprised that RPI's scores are as high as they are, my comment that more women major in technical fields at RPI probably wouldn't apply to the general student body. QU's are by far the worst in the ECAC.

Quote from: BearLoverThis Cody Rosen story (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/02/sports/hockey/cody-rosen-an-islanders-mystery-draft-pick-isnt-giving-up.html) is wild.  Here's an article (http://www.lighthousehockey.com/2014/9/1/5653012/nhl-draft-longshots-cody-rosen-brad-peltz-anthony-brodeur) about him and a few other publicity picks.  But the Isles taking Song in the 6th round makes no sense--I checked, and they had a 7th round pick that year.  Unless they thought it would be too obvious if they took him in the 7th round?

Quote from: HookingSome new coaches, particularly coaches of teams new to D-1 hockey, sign swarms of top-shelf recruits. Gadowsky is a recent example. Cornell once had such a coach. Is this mainly because school administrations accommodate a wider academic range of applicants or is it mostly the new coach's magnetic personality?

Quote from: scoop85As we celebrate the present here's some promising news for the future:

Quote from: scoop85As we celebrate the present here's some promising news for the future:

Lots of great incoming talent from the always-strong BCHL. Goalie Matthew Galajda of Victoria has been stellar in two playoff series so far, going 5-2 with a 1.57 GAA and a .952 save percentage. In an intriguing matchup for Cornell fans, the Grizzlies are tied 1-1 in the 2nd round against Powell River and Galajda's future Cornell teammates Cairns, Donaldson, Betts and Mullin. In game 1 (a 3-2 Powell River OT win), Galajda stopped 56 of 59(!) shots in the loss; Cairns had an assist while the other future Cornellians went scoreless. In game 2 Galajda pitched a 4-0 shutout, stopping all 30 shots. Given Powell River's potent offense (thanks in large part to the Cornell recruits), Galajda is putting on quite a show. Game 3 is tonight in Powell River.

Galajda and Donaldson received league accolades for the regular season, with Galajda named runner-up for the league's player of the year (25-10-2 record with a 2.33 GAA and .926 save percentage), while Donaldson was named rookie of the year after finishing the regular season with 32 goals and 37 assists in 54 games. Mullin finished with a stellar 36 G, 34 A, while Betts line was 22 G 24 A.  Forward Michael Regush from Merritt of the BCHL went 14 G 22 A in only 47 games in the regular season, and has 6 points in 6 playoff games.

Donaldson, who is listed at 5'8" 163 lbs, may be coming to Ithaca next fall as per both his BCHL bio and according to Big Red Puckhead; Heisenberg still shows him as a 2018 recruit, but that timeline may have been accelerated, perhaps due to his success this year. Donaldson will be 19 in July, so age shouldn't be an issue.

In the USHL (where, unfortunately, we lost our two promising forward prospects) incoming defenseman Cody Haiskanen of Fargo has 4 G and 19 A for the season and was name USHL defenseman of the week for the week of February 20th. Defenseman Alex Green of Lincoln has a goal and 14 assists with a plus-8 rating. And since his recent commitment to Cornell defenseman Andong Song of Madison recorded his 1st 2 assists of the season!

In the OJHL forward Brendan Locke had 46 points in 38 regular season games for Coburg, and has 7 points (1 G, 6 A) in 5 playoff games. Defenseman Peter Muzyka (matriculating in 2019) of North York had 17 points in 54 regular season games, and has 1 assist through 5 playoff games.

In the AJHL (where Malott and Bauld played last season), new goalie recruit Austin McGrath of Lloydminster saw a ton of rubber and had a 3.53 GAA and .905 save percentage playing for a last place team. Heisenberg lists him as a 2018 recruit, while BRP's website indicates that he's coming next fall. Foward Liam Motley of Whitecourt, who's committed for 2018, had 39 points in 39 games.  The first part of the season he had 15 points in 18 games for Camrose.

Same question. Also, is she anywhere near as good? If so, that's an amazing pickup for Coach Derraugh. Angela Ruggiero was absolutely dominant when she was with Harvard. I remember watching one Cornell/Harvard game at Lynah where Cornell was better when Ruggiero was on the bench but couldn't do much of anything when she was on the ice. It seemed like she played 40+ minutes that game. Cornell lost.

Quote from: scoop85So a new recruit with a unique backstory:



Song, a defenseman, is a 2015 6th round pick of the Islanders.  Oddly he hasn't recorded a point or an assist this season in over 35 games with the Madison Capitols of the USHL, so I don't think we're looking at the next Yanni Kaldis.

Quote from: scoop85Last night, Matt Galadja stopped 36 of 37 shots as Victoria defeated Powell River 2-1 in double OT to win their series 4 games to 3. Cam Donaldson had an assist on the lone Powell River goal, while Tristan Mullin, Kyle Betts and Matt Cairns were scoreless.  Victoria moves on to play Chilliwack in the next round.

In the other series of interest, Penticon defeated Merritt 6-2 in game 7 of that series. Defenseman Joe Leahy did not score for Penticon, while Michael Regush was scoreless for Merritt in his final game there.  Penticon will play Vernon in the next series.

The Cornell-bound players have acquitted themselves well in the playoffs, with Galadja really standing out. I've got to believe he'll give Stewart a battle for the starting spot in net next season.

Its a fun thing to look at in the offseason, but I wouldn't put much stock in it.  Its all very subjective and I seriously doubt whoever runs the site has the time or the means to accurately evaluate all these kids. Just look at our own program. Some of our highly-touted recruits haven't panned out while some of the less heralded guys have turned into major contributors over the years.

That just reflects that the class was small.  The mean stars per recruit is a much better stat IMO; in that we were 18th.

To get a good look at the guts of it would mean plunking down $30 and then sprinting through the past history over one month, or $100 for an annual subscription.

Quote from: lgt9292Not worth it, it is not updated and they have little to no info on the recruits. Clarkson is top 10 because they have about 5-6 guys that are in the 2018 class listed as 2017, they even have a few that have not been committed for quite some time. I even checked to see if there was a scouting report for Matt Cairns and I couldn't find a thing and I mean he was a 3rd round pick, I find that a bit off.

Quote from: scoop85BCHL playoff update:

In the 3rd round of the playoffs, Matt Galajda bounced back in a big way after getting pulled in a 7-3 loss in the 1st game against Chilliwack to post a 3-0 shutout in game two last night.  Galajda stopped all 39 Chilliwack shots.

Penticon likewise evened its series at 1-1 with Vernon after beating the Vipers 4-2 last evening. Vernon had won game 1 3-2.  Joe Leahy had an assist on the 4th Penticon goal midway through the 3rd period.

Game 3 for Penticon will be tomorrow night, while Victoria returns home for game 3 on Tuesday.

Quote from: scoop85No real surprises, although I wasn't certain if Donaldson was coming this fall or in 2018.  Looking at the Freshmen entries on the roster, more academic diversity than usual:  Betts is in Engineering, Green is in ILR, Haiskanen and Barron are in Arts & Sciences, Galadja's a Hotelie, McGrath's in HumEc, with Locke, Donaldson, Mullin, and Cairns the only Aggies.

Quote from: billhowardDoes it make you nervous when the students really want to be students?

Quote from: ACMNo Lalor. No Wedman.

Quote from: dag14If you were to look at how they are coded in the university databases, you would see that Cairns, Donaldson, and Locke are students in the SCJ College of Business so one would not be completely off base to say that Mullins is the only "Aggie."

Anyone have any insight here? I wonder if Dan Wedman hung up his skates due to injury.

There's been some wild (and I assume completely unfounded) speculation about injuries on this forum lately...

Since it's incredibly rare for us to get a New England Prep kid, I did some searching.   Turns out that one of the assistant coaches there is former standout CU goalie Matt Underhill.

ELite Prospects lists him as a 2019 commit; he's currently a Junior.   I wonder how much of a "stretch" this commitment is since last year as a Sophomore his line was an unimpressive 4G 10A  14pts  in 38 games (albeit for what must be a stacked team that won the NE prep title)
