This doesn't include any USHL or National Team players, nor does it include any college freshmen. I wouldn't be surprised to see 1-2 more names on the list when those are added (Joakim Ryan for one).

ORZETTI, CHARLES NEW JERSEY HITMEN 28-Feb-1992 6' 3.25" 208 lbs. * C;LW L YALE (2012)

Hitmen? Now that has the potential for a team mascot worthy of offending someone. Fuggedaboutit.

This article says that Hudon might be the highest drafted high school player in this draft, which if true almost certainly means a early-to-mid first round draft spot. If so, it seems pretty likely he'll end up at Cornell next year, not 2012 as Big Red Puckhead currently lists him (the article also says he'll be at CU in 2011).

Surprisingly more likely to offend than even the XFL's incarnation of the New Jersey Hitmen:

Probably less so than the New Jersey Informants, though.

They should have gone with "Stoolies."  Fits headlines better.

Being the pessimist that I am when it comes to my teams, I had the same thought (but didn't want to say it).  Getting such a highly-ranked guy certainly is a double-edged sword these days (see, D'Amico, Jerry; and LeBlanc, Louis).

Comes with the territory.  Enjoy them while they're here, then wish them well.

Who is this D'Amico?

Some guy who used to go to Renaslear.

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).
