Seems RPI is getting a good young forward:

Quote from: Binghamton Press and SunThe United States blanked Russia, 5-0, to win the IIHF World Under-18 Championship on Sunday night at the Urban Plains Center.

It was the first time a U.S. men's national team won a title in the United States since the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid, and it was the fifth time in the last six years the Americans played in the Under-18 gold-medal game.

Johnson City's Jerry D'Amigo had two shots on goal but did not score a point Sunday. He finished the event as the team's leading scorer and tied as the third-top scorer overall. He had 13 points (four goals, nine assists), including the game-winning goal in Friday's 2-1 semifinal victory over Canada.

D'Amigo is in the midst of a two-year stint with the USA Hockey National Team Development Program and has committed to play for Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy in the fall.

That same U-18 National Team had several players that will be at Denver next year and a bunch head to Michigan including the goalie:

Quote from: U of Michigan hocky blogCheck out these numbers for our future goalie: 4-0-0 record, 0.75 goals against average, .967 save percentage, two shutouts, and zero even-strength goals allowed. He's from the U17s playing in the World U18s and he put on a show. In international play he's 11-0-1-0 (that's 11 wins and an overtime loss) with a 1.04 and probably something around a .955 save percentage to go with 5 shutouts. Eww. Eww eww eww.

Do ya think having the USNDTP in Ann Arbor gives them an advantage?::pissed::

The goalie going to Michigan, Jeff Campbell, is playing on the U-17 team and won't show up until 2010. I agree that Michigan has a big advantage in recruiting players from the USNTDP.

It may turn out that Jerry D'Amigo is only the third best forward recruit for RPI for the upcoming season. Brandon Pirri of the Georgetown Raiders (OJHL) appears to have a bigger upside than D'Amigo. Playing for the USNTDP probably means that, at least initially, D'Amigo is further along in development, but Pirri appears to be more talented offensively, although he may never have checked anyone in his life.

. Jacob Laliberte of the Cornwall Colts (CJHL), may delay arriving in Troy until 2010 for reasons that are far from clear to me, but he is also a very talented and creative offensive player, although reportedly only about 5'6" tall.

Both Pirri and Laliberte, as well as another RPI recruit Marty O'Grady, played on the same Canada East team as Cornell recruits Nick D'Agostino and Braden Birch last November http://www.hockeycanada.ca/index.php?ci_id=14990&la_id=1&season_id=234&team_id=567&ss_id=25031.

I'm a bit surprised Yale isn't listed.

Yale will have to find a good replacement for Alec Richards. Ryan Rondeau may be up to it, but he hasn't played a lot yet.

...and now CHN follows with their predictions as well, with Cornell at #4 (pending other information, obviously):

Looks like a good matchup for MSG.

This article:

makes it sound like the Oilers (and the author of the article) expect Riley to play his junior year at Cornell. We can all exhale a little

That was fantastic to read. Hopefully this holds up.
