recruits

[Josh '99]

I think we're missing something very important here, and I'm surprised that nobody picked it up sooner.  Namely...

His name sounds like a kind of beer!  And Canadian beer, no less.  That's awesome!  :-D

Whoa, Jon Gleed lists at 6'1", 165?  Somebody get that boy some food or something.  Gotta figure Schafer will try to get him to bulk up some...

Oh, and from that recruits list, I noticed that Harvard has an incoming freshman named Dan Murphy.  Great, like the goalie and the ref weren't enough of them.  :-(

Anne and I are going to be in Guelph this weekend (Anne is attending a class at the Vet School) and the Dominators appear to be playing home games on Friday and Saturday.  We are planning to go to the Saturday night contest in the hopes of seeing Moulson play.

Pity we still have not had a chance to go to Ithaca to get our Cornell jerseys yet.  Perhaps we should make a sign, but I have no idea what it should say... maybe "CU in Big Red Country"?  Somebody out there must have a better idea.

i think that sounds cute! wow, what a welcome! signs before he even has freshmen orientation! gotta love cornell hockey and cornell hockey fans!

[littleredfan]

actually wow, another set of twins that have first names that start with the same letter. i guess we'll have to qualify the goals they score next year with their first name like the mcraes

[littleredfan]

I dont know if this has been mentioned before but Matt Moulson is also listed on CSS at 209, slightly lower than current charlie cook who is at 201.

More importantly, there is no goalie on the list of recruits ...

So I was really interested in seeing what is "available" for adding to our incoming frosh. Off of http://members.aol.com/cheisenber/Recruit02.htm
I went "shopping" and heres what I found

Alberta Junior Hockey League
Michael Brodeur -G Camrose (AJHL) 3-30-83

NAHL
Dan Francis-RC Lansing (NAHL) 5'9 165 12-15-81 Brother at Cornell

From New England (thank you Pats, i won a fortune)
Mike Boudreau-G Cushing Prep 6'3 190 3-18-83  Six Foot THREE? he'll block the whole net just standing there

Jake Taylor-D Green Bay (USHL) 6'4 200 -83
Art Fermenella-D Sioux City (USHL) 6'6 220 -82  Now this is a pair of defensemen.

Jonathan Durno-W Wexford (OPJHL) 6'4 195 -82          49-23-30-53-53

Ok this was strictly shopping on just looking at quick stats and size. anybody else have ideas on rounding out the class?
BTW, anyone notice that we basically only "shop" in the OHL?

Thanks for posting this link.  I sent a copy to my daughter as she sometimes needs a bit of encouragement. We all need to be reminded that we can make our own opportunities.

Their stats so far:

F Cam Abbott, 47 GP, 31-36-67, 78 PIM
F Chris Abbott, 41 GP, 20-39-59, 68 PIM
F Shane Hynes, 39 GP, 29-31-60, 47 PIM
F Matt Moulson, 38 GP, 54-43-96, 73 PIM
F Dan Pegoraro, 46 GP, 24-36-60, 49 PIM
D Jon Gleed, 42 GP, 3-14-18, 30 PIM

Not that it means anything, but that's 158 goals among 5 forwards, two of whom are projected to be taken in the draft before entering Cornell.

I think last year's offense made quite an impression on the coach.  ;-)

Who needs Chris Higgins anyway? :-|

[littleredfan]

yeah damn its so tough to tell whether a prolific scorer in those leagues will turn into a great one in d1 ecac. seemed like vesce made the transition extremely fast, paolini/murray have been a steady progression upwards, and some never seem to find the scoring touch or have the opportunity to b/c they play a different role on the team than they might have had previously. it'll be interesting to see which of the current freshman break out over the next couple of years, and exciting to see if any of the recruits can make an impact right away.

[Greg Berge]

I seem to recall at least one 100 point per season junior B player who didn't even crack the roster.

[ugarte]

And that 100 point scorer would be . . .?

TIL Matt Moulson was/is a strong writer

[BMac]

I read an entire page before realizing this wasn't a recent find that we were joking about "sounds like a good kid!"
