Tony Romano has been invited to try out for the US team in this year's Viking Cup. Here's the link to the blurb, though it doesn't say much more than Tony's been invited along with 3 other AJHL players.
http://www.atlantichockey.org/ajhl.php
Still no news on Brendon Nash, who has now missed the last 5 games for the Silverbacks.
Stats are updated (games, goals, assists, and points), expect for Romano's game from yesterday. Milo is getting a ton of shots but not finding the net much at this point -- 11 of his team's 25 yesterday.
Anthony Romano AJHL 6 8 5 13
Justin Milo USHL 5 1 3 4
Brendon Nash BCHL 8 2 5 7
Colin Greening BCHL 11 3 7 10
Blake Gallagher SJHL 13 13 2 15
There was an article in the Salmon Arm paper saying that Brendon Nash is day-to-day with a shoulder problem.
Thanks...I hope they don't rush him back.
Can we promote Gallagher now? ;-)
Next year's freshmen are going to be unbelievable. Three high-octane offensive players who could all potentially step right in and score at this level. I think we could see a very successful season this year but the dropoff may not come as originally expected.

There was a bit on USHR about how Marc Cheverie, the Nanaimo goaltender who was the SJHL mvp last year, is deciding between Cornell, UND, and Denver. If Cheverie chooses Cornell, and we pick up one more serious defenseman (Chad Morin may still be considering Cornell, and Chay Genoway (brother Colby played at UND) is deciding between Cornell next year and UND in 07-08), I think that Cornell might have one of, if not _the_, best recruiting class in the country.
Yeah, a goalie is obviously the top priority right now. And it may not seem as if another defenseman is necessary with 7 returning, you have to think that there is a very real possibility of Pokuluk not returning next season.
And I would have to agree with this recruiting class being among the best in college hockey for next season.
Romano had a goal & 3 assists yesterday, giving him 9-8-17 in 7 games thus far.
Phil, if we get 2 of those 3 I'd be nearly ecstatic. Keep digging up the news.
Romano scored 2 goals on Sunday, so now he's 8-11-8-19
Colin Greening was the #2 star in todays Clippers win, with a goal and 2 assists. His line is 12-4-9-13, and he is now tied for the lead in Clippers scoring.

Great to see that Greening has rebounded from a slow start.

I think there was an article posted here a while back where his junior team said he was the best NHL prospect they have seen since Sasha Pokulok.
Latest INCH recuiting notebook:

Anyone notice him during the game? Or hear if his interest in Cornell (and Cornell's in him) is legit?
Is there an NCAA distinction betwen "official" and "unofficial" visits (with the former being regulated)?

Considering his height/weight (5'10, 200 according to Heisenberg's site) and playing style, he sounds like he might be the Chris Abbott replacement (with more offensive upside).
There's noise on the BCHL message board that Joe Scali, a LW from the Alberni Valley Bulldogs has committed to Cornell. he's apparently flying down for this weekend's set of games.
6'0", 190lbs, 7th in the BCHL in goal scoring (12 goals, 17 total points in 18 games). It's his 3rd year in the BCHL, and his scoring is dramatically better than before. He's supposed to be fast and a good penalty killer.
http://www.albernivalleybulldogs.ca/site.php?level1=2&level2=63&level3=63&site=player&player_id=58
now we just need to get McKee's protege signed, and another defenseman or two, since who knows how long Pokulok/O'Byrne will hang around.
Well that would most definitely complete the forward group for next year with 2 LW's, 2 C's (including Fontas), and 2 RW's. A lot of talent there, moreso than any other Cornell recruiting class I have ever seen. As PFibiger said, now we await 2 or 3 more blueliners and an ELITE goalie.
Has there been any news on Morin?
I would assume Morin + Genoway would be quite a coup.
Are there any ELITE goalies left?
[Q]Tub(a) Wrote:

Depends what you mean by ELITE? Cheverie is having a very good year thus far in the BCHL, and as has been mentioned is considering Cornell, North Dakota, Denver, and Michigan State. Cushing's Richard Bachman (not entirely sure if that's the correct last name) is reportedly considering Cornell, BC, CC, and H@%*!&^.
I think it's safe to say that Cheverie has elite potential.

I was under the impression that everyone discovered Cheverie's school choices from a USHR article and that it only mentioned Cornell, North Dakota and Denver. Where did you hear about Michigan State? I think the fact that Cornell, North Dakota and Denver are all recruiting this guy suggests that he is the real deal.

USHR, Oct. 1st note.
[Q]Tub(a) Wrote:

As others have said, Cheverie is without question an elite goalie. #1 in GAA and #2 in SV in the BCHL as a rookie. My fingers are crossed after we lost out on both Sauer and Jakiel to Michigan. The fact that Denver's Mannino and UND's Parise are both sophomores makes me feel even better about our chances. Both of those schools have solid #1s which would give Cheverie two years to ride the pine. At Cornell, if he's really the stud that he appears to be, he could get some games as a freshman and then take over the position as a soph.
I don't know much about Bachmeier from Cushing, but based on Heisenberg's rankings of the NE prep goalies, he sounds like he might be Plan B.
And the article said that Genoway was going on October flydowns. If he hasn't been to Cornell yet, it'll be this weekend. Maybe we'll hear something soon.

Thanks for the update! The other reason might be that he is playing games with the Notre Dame midget team. There is some rule that affects Gallagher which forces him to play a number of games with their midget team.
Morin is making an official visit to sucks this weekend and will likely sign a letter of intent.
They are offering him a great financial deal according to his mother (and we thought there were no athletic scholarships in the Ivy League ::rolleyes:: ).
He's a long-time family friend and we've been trying to convince him to go to Cornell for years. So we're not very happy:-( :-( ::bang::
nope....hahvahd (see above)
Then we can boo him even more!
So it'll be your fault if he goes to Hahvahd? :-P
hey...we tried:-/
At least I have dirt on him for next year.....
And he's getting a nice juicy, stinky fish for Christmas, that's for sure.

That's unfortunate. I hate seeing these CNY/WNY kids keep getting away.
Looks like there will be great depth up front next year.
Left Wing: Barlow, Mugford, Kindret, Greening, Scali
Center: Bitz, Scott (I think he'll end up back at center), Kennedy, Romano, Fontas
Right Wing: Sawada, Carefoot, McCutcheon, Connors, Milo, Gallagher
Don't be surprised if Milo and Gallagher end up as the RWs on the top two lines. I'll be most interested to see who takes over for Chris Abbott and Pegoraro as all situations centers.
Ari,
Gallagher plays center at least as much as the wing, and is apparently a superb faceoff man. I wouldn't be surprised to see him as the top line center next year (allowing Bitz to perhaps move back to the wing?)
Should be interesting with Romano also in the mix at center coming from a very weak league. Seems like a ton of skill and no size in this group but it isn't like they are replacing physically large players. The left side will be all freshmen and sophomores. Really good mix of skill (Barlow, Scott, Milo, Gallagher, Romano, Scali), size (Bitz, Sawada, Greening, Kennedy, Fontas) and grit (Carefoot, Mugford, Kindret, Scott, Barlow) though. I should also note in relation to Gallagher being apparently a superb faceoff man that Scott in my mind is far and away this year's team's top faceoff man and he only takes draws on the powerplay.
There are always a few freshmen who either never pan out or are at least unprepared to play their first year.

An intersting note on Notre Dame's Blake Gallagher, who is tearing up the Jr.A circuit with 10 goals in his first 10 games. Because of the new Canadian Hockey rules on out-of-province players under the age of 18, Gallagher technically is an "affiliated" player on the Jr.A squad, meaning he has to play at least half of the season with the Notre Dame midget Hounds. As a result, he'll have to suit up for 22 midget contests in addition to the 55-game Jr.A slate.
My guess is this new rule is what's keeping him out of the lineup, thankfuly not an injury.

I actually don't think so..he hasn't played in any recent midget games either. I don't think it makes him miss any of the Jr. A games, he just has to play the midget games _also_. Notre Dame doesn't have much of a website for the hockey team, so it's hard to find any injury info.
Cornell fans are going to love Joe Scali. Arguably the best forechecker in the BCHL, unarguably the hardest working player. Absolute dynamo, SUPER FAST, hits hard, now is scoring....man, what can I say? Cornell scored. If you can, get up here and see him in action at the dogpound. Smokin' Joe is unreal.....

It's neither there nor there for Cheverie at this point, but don't you want an overlap to give a chance to see him in practice, improve his skills, and maybe even get into a few games if he's good enough before taking over the full time roll?
That was how Lenny worked (came in Underhill's senior year), and McKee was *supposed* to come in Lenny's senior year. And now Schafer is looked for a goalie to come in McKee's senior year, so it seems to be the way he likes to run it at least.
And yeah, it coulda been a factor, you never know.

I agree with that. After last season, not many of us remember that McKee was painfully average his freshman year. That was no fault of his own considering he was no ready to be a full time #1 goaltender yet. The ideal situation is what LeNeveu had, splitting time as a freshman, getting the feet wet, then ideally being ready to take the reigns sophomore year. That was the plan for McKee had LeNeveu stayed but even if Marr didn't get hurt. You do not want a situation where you have a freshman as your exclusive #1 goalie no matter how special he is.

Cornell hockey fans will benefit next season with more BCHL kids from the Island Division. Nanaimo Clippers are having another great year but this season, the Alberni Valley Bulldogs are the #2 team in the league and nipping at their heels.
Joe Scali is a huge part of the Bulldogs success because he is tenacious and relentless. Always known as an excellent playmaker and forechecker, this season Joe has found the scoring touch - including his goal against Nanaimo, which was an absolute beauty.
You'll see what I mean next season.....And look for two of Scali's teammates to be playing against him next year: Devin Timberlake at Brown and Andrew Estey at Union....
Go Bulldogs!

We talked about Gallagher and Romano being listed on the NHL "players to watch" list, and Brendon Nash has since been added as a BCHL "B" prospect (3rd round or later).
I was just looking at some other teams recruits for next season, and Quinnipiac has seemed to snag a gem in Brandon Wong from the Merritt Centennials of the BCHL.

In case you haven't notcied, Cornell very well may have the best forward recruiting class in college hockey for next year. They aren't going to get every player from BCHL and statistics do not tell the entire story. In the case of Wong, I heard he barely got through the clearing house.

So far in 26 games he has 24 goals, 25 assists for 49 points. (You would think that Cornell could compete for someone like him, especially if Quinnipiac got him)
Here are some other marquee names from the BCHL that are going to teams other than Cornell.
Matt Butcher (F) - Chilliwack Chiefs - 23GP-12G-26A-38P - Northern Michigan
Geoff Irwin (F) - Burnaby Express - 22GP-16G-20A-36P - Minnesota State

Wow. Okay first of all, the Ivy League has academic requirements and is not able to give athletic scholarships. Those two points right there dramatically reduce the number of recruits we can pursue. Second, Schafer looks for certain types of players for the Cornell mold. He needs guys who work their tails off, who will forecheck, who will grind it out and who don't mind reining in their scoring. I don't know if any of those players above fit the Schafer mold. We win and lose recruiting battles like everyone else. Third, our recruiting class next year is fabulous on paper. It is arguably the best recruiting class Cornell has had (at least in the last ten years). Next year's entering class will be among the best in the nation; if our 06-07 recruits won't satisfy you I don't know what will.
Not saying that Cornell should recruit them, I was just showing what was out there. Although, do you guys think we should be recruiting some more defenseman. We only have one right now.
Has Chad Morin officially committed to Harvard because Heisenberg's site doesn't list it.
My friend got a chance to see Joe Scali play in British Columbia, and he said that Scali is relentless - he scored a shorthanded goal in that game that was all due to aggressive forechecking and anticipation. Hopefully, he can duplicate that at Cornell.
Man, Cornell has a team to assemble next season that will be the frickin' envy of the college ranks. FYI, Scali has scored again tonight, as his Alberni Valley BUlldogs lead the Penticton Vees 3-0 after two periods in Penticton. Bulldogs won last night, 5-2 in Trail against the Smoke Eaters.
Scali IS relentless. UNBELIEVABLE forechecker. Cornell scored picking up Smokin' Joe...
Even with losing Moulson and Abbott, that left side is going to be an extremely aggressive group with Mugford, Barlow, and Scali.
Time and again I have heard people who are in a position to know assert that 75% of the top NCAA prospects each season have absolutely NO chance of admission to any Ivy. Add that the Ivies then have to fight for the remaining 25% with scholarship constraints and a far more demanding academic load, and it's really a shock that a blue chipper EVER comes in.

[/q]Aggressive is nice, but using that to explain comparing incoming recruits and freshmen who've played 8 games to guys with Frozen Four experience and two ECAC championships under their belts probably doesn't give enough credit to the experienced guys. My personal take, anyway.
No one next year at left wing will be as good as moulson, in spite of their recruiting ranking or freshmen year experience. happy?
Did Morin commit to Harvard?
No official word yet but his mother was almost positive he would commit to sucks:-(

I don't remember many people getting too excited about last year's recruiting class. Except for Barlow and Connors to a lesser extent, I don't remember very much hype about this year's class either. Next year's recruiting class is among the best in college hockey and among the best I have seen for Cornell in a long time. Does it mean they are definitely going to fulfill the expectations? Of course not, but people have reason to be extremely excited for next year's class.

Is there an independent, non-Cornell source for this assessment? I'm not saying I disagree; I'm just curious as to why we're singing such high praise for the incoming class. Is there a ranking somewhere, like the rankings of football recruiting classes, that puts us in the top 3-5?

Well yes. Heisenberg ranks the college eligible players. He has Milo as fourth in the entire USHL ahead of players from UND, Michigan, Minnesota, Maine, CC, etc. He has Gallagher ranked #1 in all of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. He has Greening 6th among BCHL forwards and Nash 4th among BCHL defensemen. He has Romano as 4th among players from Mass/New England. Heisenberg may not be that much of a reliable source but his rankings in the past (particularly for the east) have been pretty accurate.
I've also seen Milo, Romano, and Greening play. Milo is unlike any player I have seen at Cornell. He is extremely dangerous offensively with a better release than any player I have ever seen at the college level. Romano plays at low level so it should be interesting to see how he adjusts but his numbers indicate that he has totally dominated that level. The fact that both he and Milo made the Viking Cup team also are pretty good indications that these guys are not just flash in the pan recruits. Romano has Vesce-like vision and instincts with the puck.
I have spoken with pretty reliable sources who have seen Gallagher and Scali play. Gallagher is getting a tremendous amount of hype in western Canada and considering that he'll likely be drafted in the first few rounds of next year's draft for a Junior player of his size that says something. Scali will be like Mugford with more speed and more offense. Haven't heard anything about Nash, but he has good size and good offensive numbers which don't mean a whole lot, but his numbers are far better than O'Byrne and Pokuluk at that level, although comparable to Krantz. Nash is younger than Krantz at that level and is being well-regarded by scouts for the upcoming draft. I have a good feeling about him.
Back to Heisenberg's rankings. The players committed so far this year for Cornell as far as where he ranks them are most comparable to the graduating class of 2003, albeit that class had three defensemen in it.
Of course all this hype won't matter if they can't live up to it.

Could you go back to the 2000 rankings and give us the matching Heisenberg ranked players? We could then see who panned out and approximately what we're talking about. Personally, I don't know whether #1 in all of Manitoba and Saskatchewan equals Doug Ferguson or Bob Ferguson. ::help::

I think it's tough to use Heisenberg's rankings for class to class comparison's. Strength or depth by region/league changes from year to year. If you look at this year's graduating class when Heisenberg rated them, a lot of the top prospects in each region/leage panned out.

The Saskatchewan and Alberta recruits didn't pan out to much. These leagues appear to be at least historically, weaker than the others. For the most part the rest of the top recruits in the other leagues succeeded (do not read "reached potential") in college.
[Q]Trotsky Wrote:

That is definitely a fair question/point. At least recently, the top 3 or so recruits in those regions haven't amounted to much. The only current player who fits that category (top three recruits) that I even recognize is Andrew Journey a forward playing for Wisconson. So I think for Saskatchewan and Manitoba, the Heisenberg rankings are a poor prediction of future success.
However, according to USCHO posters, Gallagher was aggressively recruited by both Maine and UNH. I think that is a pretty good indication of his upside.
He is sort of different than any of them, but I would imagine his game has changed playing at a higher level than when I saw him play. I would say a combination of Baby and Hynes. He makes more plays than Hynes (more like Baby in this regard) but has the same physical upside as him. He definitely has good upside with his size and offensive ability. I think he and Scali will fit in well with Barlow, Mugford, and Kindret on the left side.

I don't have time to look now but Heisenberg has generally been more accurate with his eastern rankings than western. He had Moulson as the top Ontario skater IIRC, McKee as the top NAHL goaltender, LeNeveu as the top BCHL goaltender, the McRae's were pretty high, Vesce as well. Murray and Baby were not as high as they turned out to be, however. That is all off the top of my head though - I'll look at them later when I get the chance.
Colin Greening is featured on this week's installment of Inside the BCHL. Bernie Pascall interviews him and Bill Bestwick.

David's always impressed me as a team-first guy. :-)
I'm hoping an opportunity to work with David for a year is compelling to one of these highly-regarded prospects, though I think many of them want to step in and be the guy from day 1.
DiLeo shouldn't be discounted either, considering he hasn't had the opportunity to play in any real games. Though, again, given David's struggles it's a bit curious that DD hasn't earned an opportunity.

also, here's an article about Colin Greening:
http://www.nanaimobulletin.com/portals-code/list.cgi?paper=51&cat=40&id=548485&more=
QuoteA few days before the Nanaimo Clippers' recent skills competition, the News Bulletin asked defenceman Trevor Verwolf to handicap the field. Who would win fastest skater?
"Greening," Verwolf replied, without hesitation.
And the hardest shot?
"Greening again. Probably Greening for everything."
It's clear there's a special talent in the lineup each night that forward Colin Greening pulls on his No. 15 sweater.
QuoteUCC team's tournament schedule in the U.S. gave him the opportunity to play in front of college scouts. By the end of his first year in Toronto, he had attracted interest from at least 10 U.S. colleges. At the start of his second year at UCC, Greening committed to Cornell.
"They're not only looking for (conference) championships, but national championships," he said. "They have top-of-the-line facilities, their winning record's great, they have a great campus, it's an Ivy League school. I responded well to the guys down there; they're guys a lot like me, a lot of Canadians. It just felt right."
Cornell also gave Greening the freedom to make his own decisions. The coaches told him they would love to have him this season, but pointed out that a year of junior hockey might serve him well. The U.S. Hockey League was one possibility, but Cornell also suggested the BCHL, specifically, Nanaimo.
Chris Heisenberg's blog http://hockeyrecruits.blogspot.com/ mentions that Cornell is in the hunt for Cody Goloubef, a defenseman for the Milton Icehawks (OPJHL). Also in the hunt are several other schools (Maine, New Hampshire, Boston University, Ohio State, Miami of Ohio, and Notre Dame). Since he was born in late 1989, it's probably not for next fall. His page at the Icehawks' site http://www.miltonicehawks.com/profile_player.php?search=39.

Yeah, Joe Scali is injured..it's undisclosed, but I read that he's likely out until the end of January.
Also of note, I read a recap of a Bobcats game that talked about how Tony Romano has been playing through an injury for the last month or so. I realize it's against inferior competition, but it puts his stats in an even better light.
Blake Gallagher has not been listed on the roster for a bunch of games for the Hounds. He played well at the Prospects game, but I wonder if he too isn't fighting some sort of injury.
Finally, looking into the future..Brendon Nash's little brother Riley is 16 and a very good hockey (and lacrosse) player. Let's hope he's as academically inclined as his brother. He was selected for a BC Midget Hockey All-Star game, but had to decline because he's attending the World Under 17 Hockey Challenge with Team Pacific.

According to Heisenberg's site, Bachman chose Collorado College.
This appears in Heisenberg's Recruiting Blog...

A bit of good news, after we lost out on yet another goaltender. The BCHL announced the teams for their All-Star game:
Colin Greening and Joe Scali both made the Coastal Conference All-Stars (not 1st or 2nd team), and Brendon Nash was named 2nd team defenseman in the Interior Conference.

Yes, but I heard it was down to CC & Harvard and he chose CC so good news for Cornell. I don't think that Cornell was really in the running.

I dunno that that's good news for CU in the long run. Everyone on our side of the family benefits from blue chippers going to the ECACHL, even the ones that end up at H or CCT.
Agreed. I would rather see a recruit go to Cornell than to Michigan or Wisconsin. I want to see the level of talent sway back to the East.....even if that means some of it has to go to Ithaca. An all WCHA Frozen 4 just doesn't do it for me....
A guy that I talk to on a regular basis who knows junior hockey inside and out is getting very worried for Cornell's goaltending situation and suggested that they perhaps take Davenport back. Interesting idea.

Are his fears predicated on McKee not coming back? Also, how many years of eligibility does Davenport have? 3?

I think his fears are more centered around McKee graduating after next year and there being no apparent successor (DiLeo is not it). I don't think anyone is concerned about McKee not coming back with his performance thus far in the season. Davenport would have to sit out a year, BUT if he came back to Cornell I would assume that he could play right away.

Hasn't Troy Davenport already sat out nearly all of that year? I think (but am not 100% certain) that he would be eligible to play for any Division I team in the spring semester.
That aside, what kind of message about commitment to the team would it send if the coaching staff were to allow Troy Davenport to return to the team?

Yeah I'm pretty sure the coaching staff was rather miffed that Davenport hung the team out to dry like that. The only way I see Davenport returning (assuming he wants to) is if we are very desparate.

He will have to sit out AFTER he transfers I believe.
[Q]calgARI '07 Wrote:

Yeah, but since he's playing in the USHL (I think?) that wouldn't be a "transfer" from one NCAA program to another. I honestly don't know the exact rule, but I would think that wouldn't require a period of sitting out. It'd be as if he took a year off from schooling.

Yeah, Joe Scali is injured..it's undisclosed, but I read that he's likely out until the end of January.
Also of note, I read a recap of a Bobcats game that talked about how Tony Romano has been playing through an injury for the last month or so. I realize it's against inferior competition, but it puts his stats in an even better light.
Blake Gallagher has not been listed on the roster for a bunch of games for the Hounds. He played well at the Prospects game, but I wonder if he too isn't fighting some sort of injury.
Finally, looking into the future..Brendon Nash's little brother Riley is 16 and a very good hockey (and lacrosse) player. Let's hope he's as academically inclined as his brother. He was selected for a BC Midget Hockey All-Star game, but had to decline because he's attending the World Under 17 Hockey Challenge with Team Pacific.[/q]
That's too bad about Scali, he was having a solid year.
Romano seems to be healthy...6 goals and 4 assists in 2 games last weekend.
Gallagher played 2 games for the AAA Hounds last week. It seems when he's not playing for the big Hounds he's playing for the pups. I don't fully understand the age/out-of-Province rule that seems to dictate he only play so many games for the Hounds. He did have a goal and 2 assists in those games.
I didn't know that Riley Nash was Brendon's brother...interesting.
Thanks for the updates.

It can't be all wrapped up in McKee, considering some of these kids are committing for the year after next. And even if it were, I'm surprised some of the better talents aren't smelling his blood in the water.
Perhaps potential goaltenders, like Chris Higgins, aren't looking for how far a program can take them but how much they themselves can be superstars within that program. It's a superficial consideration but it's the only one I can think of.

And this point I wouldn't be suprised if Schafer just decided to forget it and try again next year.
It brings an interesting thought to mind, and I might get some criticism for saying this but I'm just throwing it out for some topic of discussion, just thinking aloud... I've been on the record before as not really likin that Schafer has been playing one goalie 100% for the last 2+ years. Although I won't pretend for a second that I saw this coming, could this be a downside of that strategy? I'm figure if Davenport had been getting some ice time, he's still be here. And no goalie wants to come now, probably because they figure they'll just be riding the pine for a year and then thrust into the spotlight?
I understand the Schafer mentality of 'best chance to win everynight', but perhaps that's going for the short term and foresaking the longer term. Maybe you need to play a worse goalie in the short term for a longer term benefit. Perhaps he'll have to reconsider his strategy after this experience? Will he? Should he?
I think Schafer makes goaltending decisions appropriate for the talent he's got. He platooned Skazyk and Elliott, Elliott and Pelletier, Burt and Underhill, and Underhill and LeNeveu. But when he's got one guy who's head and shoulders above the rest (Elliott, LeNeveu, and McKee in the appropriate years) he sticks with him. I personally would feel more comfortable if he gave the backup a little ice time even in those years (when Elliott went down and Burt had to come in cold, it was pretty much our nightmare scenario, although Ian can't really be blamed for six straight one-goal losses), but given that he's coached us to four more ECAC titles than I have, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
This doesn't deserve its own thread, but does anyone know exactly what happened with McKeown? This might have been discussed at some point, but he's not on the roster this year.

Mckeown was still at Cornell until November when he took a leave of absence. He was commuting back and forth and playing in Niagara Falls where he is an Asst Captain of the team...After 24 games he has 33 points and still one of the hardesr hitters around. He has been to other schools who have asked for permission to talk to him and will be playing university hockey somewhere next year......he did not want to leave Cornell but wasnt in the coaching staff's plans anymore.

Milo picked up another goal against Switzerland. He is now tied for 3rd on the team in scoring, I believe. Okposo, Dobson, and Arhontas each had good games from a scoring perspective.

There are still, of course, a lot of kids out there who are having solid seasons and who are on the radar screen. How many of these kids can qualify for Cornell is beyond me. Still, here's a partial list of kids who are still under 20 and, I believe, uncommitted:
USHL:
Alex Kangas, Sioux Falls (having a great season)
John Murray, Sioux Falls (no wonder this team is dominating the league)
Aaron Rock, Tri-City (little under the radar; could be a 2007 kid)
Steve Jakiel, Lincoln (committed to Michigan last year -- Cornell was in the running -- but did not sign during the fall period. Don't know if that means he's reconsidering options given Sauer's solid play)
NAHL:
Bryce Christianson, Fairbanks (a kid from Alaska...nah; could be a 2007 recruit)
Matt Dalton, Bozeman (leads the league in everything; from Ontario)
Troy Redmann, (hey, plays for Texas --sound familiar? How about that last name...)
SJHL:
Brett Bothwell, Yorkton (strong season for a good team)
Russel Monette, Weyburn (strong season for a weak team)
AJHL:
Ben Scrivens, Spruce Grove (one of the better goalies in the league)
BCHL:
Brad Thiessen, Prince George (strong season for a so-so team; Cornell's still in the running)

For those who get visceral pleasure/pain from the slide of the sands of the hourglass, Theissen was born five days after Chris Grenier's ECAC championship-winning overtime goal against Clarkson at Boston Garden (and six days after the greatest Cornell game I ever witnessed).

Also, Blake leads all SJHL rookies (tied for 5th overall) in goals scored, despite having played far fewer games.
The class is picking up some impressive honors:
Blake Gallagher, SJHL All-Star (Sherwood Conference); CJAHL Prospects Game
Brendon Nash, BCHL All-Star (Interior Conference); CJAHL Prospects Game
Colin Greening, BCHL All-Star (Coastal Conference)
Joe Scali, BCHL All-Star (Coastal Conference)
Justin Milo, Viking Cup
Tony Romano, Viking Cup; AJHL Select All-Stars
I also like that each of these guys, except for Justin, plays for team that is in the Championship race.

Still (probably) need a goalie. Can anybody with more time and patience than I publish the short list of G prospects known, suspected, or in some other way connected to having interest in Cornell?

The only name that we've heard that is still uncommitted is Brad Thiessen, who plays for the Prince George Spruce Kings in the BCHL. He's one of the BCHL leaders in SV %, playing on a pretty crappy team, and was selected for the BCHL All-Star game. He's deciding between Cornell and UND, and goes on a visit to UND toward the end of January.
Also, here are updated recruit stats through last weekend. Joe Scali is still out of commission.
Colin Greening..BCHL 39-18-26-44
Blake Gallagher.SJHL 32-20-12-32
Justin Milo.....USHL 28-08-10-18
Brendon Nash....BCHL 33-06-25-31
Anthony Romano..AJHL 31-46-39-85
Joe Scali.......BCHL 31-18-13-31
looks like "pre" tags don't function the same way, and don't respect spaces or tabs anymore.
I know juniors numbers don't mean anything, but Romano's are getting pretty freaky.
A little context on Romano's numbers, from the AJHL website (http://www.ajhlhockey.org/player_statistics.php?leagueid=52)
Player Name......Team Name.........GP..G...A...Pt.Pen.PIM
---------------------------------------------------------
ANTHONY ROMANO...New York Bobcats..24..34..26..60...9..18
Greg Costa.......Boston Bulldogs...25..16..42..58...7..14
MICHAEL COPPOLA..New York Bobcats..24..29..22..51..11..22
Mark Hanscom.....No Team...........23..24..24..48...8..27
P.O. Michaud.....Portland Pirates..24..20..25..45...2...4
---------------------------------------------------------
As has been previously noted on this thread, the 85 point figure posted above includes non-AJHL games, while the above chart only includes AJHL games.
So Romano has 2.5 points per game and is leading his league is scoring, but is neck and neck with his next competitor.
Tony & Michaud are the only 88s on that list. Coasta & Coppola are 85s, while Hanscom is an 86er.
Among our recruits' participating leagues, the AJHL is the weakest. I wonder if Tony will be ready to contribute next year given the competition level of the league, though I feel a lot better after his recent performance in the Viking Cup.
Joe Scali returned to the Bulldogs lineup tonight and recorded an assist, after missing the last 10 games nursing a lower body injury. Two other injured teammates also returned and the red-hot Dogs posted their 15th consecutive win, 4-1 over the Burnaby Express. Two more games to go this weekend and by then Joe should have shaken off what little rust he may have acquired. Who knows, by next Tuesday the Bulldogs could be the #1 nationally ranked team in Canadian Jr. A hockey. Quite an ascent for a team enjoying a great season.
Like I said before, Jordan Kremyr & Bradyn Melrose - up for grabs - Cornell you paying attention to these two guys at all?
