BRP also reports that Stephan Miller was rated B-, which translates to being drafted in rounds 3-4 or thereabouts. This is pretty good since BRP also has two Stephan Millers signed up for 2012. ::drunk::

I believe he lists Miller twice because he's playing for a Junior team (New Hampshire) before playing for his Prep team (Nobles).

My '99 son played for the peewee Hitmen summer AAA tourney team.  And yes they wore a jersey with that logo.  11 year olds.  Truly ugly but some of the people behind the program are really good, they're sending a lot of kids to ECAC and Hockey East teams from their junior squad.

In Cornell news, Joakim Ryan had an impressive week:  USHL player of the week

"He is a classic power forward who takes a straight line to the net or to the puck in the corners," Eggleston said. "He has good size and strength, hits hard, plays the body in all zones and is an aggressive forechecker. Has some grit to his game, and plays with an edge. He has very good hands and possesses a hard and heavy shot with quick release."

Seems like a good fit when you think of the most successful Schafer-era forwards.

"Plays with an edge" is as classic hockey cliche, but it's not clear to me what this means exactly.

It means he's the David Eckstein of hockey.  He has grit and passion (grission).  Or it means the writer's lazy.

It means he's the Zach Parise of hockey.
