Schafer not elevating Ben Berard when Angello left is a surprise.

I noticed there are no Americans in this year's class; I wonder when was the last time that occurred. In recent years the classes have been fairly balanced between Americans and Canadians, with the occasional European tossed in.

Mike is stocking up before there's a second border wall built.

Canada has treated us very unfairly.

Late to this thread but clearly an example of unfair trade by the Chinese.

Some early season stats for a few of our recruits:

Ben Berard from Powell River in the BCHL has 11 points in 7 games on 6 goals and 5 assists. He looks like he'll be a productive player as soon as he hits campus next fall.

Ben and Zach Tupker of Carleton Place in the CCHL have 9 and 11 points respectively in 10 games.  Last season they both averaged about than .5 points per game, so they've clearly picked it up with another year under their belts.

The guys in the USHL are just getting started with their seasons, although Jack O'Leary of Cedar Rapids has 1 goal in his 1st 2 games.
