Recruits

[ursusminor]

BRP reports that John McCarron has been named USHL offensive POTW.

If you follow the link, you'll also see this week's defensive player of the week, Jordan Schmaltz -- a NODAK recruit. This reflects one recruiting advantage I'd never thought of before.

With a name like that, wouldn't you want to go someplace where most people don't even know what schmaltz is? It's hard to think of a better place than Grand Forks.

Wait a minute. There are a lot of Germans in ND (at least by percentage). Although there are very few Jews in ND who speak Yiddish, which I assume is your point, it is derived from the German "Schmalz" which has essentially the same meaning.

Reading about ALL the outstanding players soon to be wearing a Cornell sweater, I can't wait for the hockey season to start.
190 days to the Red/White game.
Drop the puck!

Man, those Junior league seasons seem to go on forever.

Ben Scrivens is tweeting that goalie Vince Marozzi of the Spruce Grove Saints (AJHL) has committed to Cornell.  I can't find anything about when.

And he's getting a scholarship!

Also, he basically led the AJHL in everything.

OK, OK. I'll do it.

Interesting, as he's already 21.

Wasn't Denis Ladouceur a 25-year-old senior? I can't recall if there have been any similar cases in recent years.

Dick Bertrand was 28 when he graduated and was named head coach.

Doug Krantz was 21 when he stepped on campus.

Marozzi seems like a perfect late replacement for Garman. Older and hopefully matured, lots of junior seasoning and playoff experience. He wants to be a Civil Engineer, which is pretty unusual for a hockey player.

Yes (and good spelling too).  He's almost a year older than me and three class years later.

Parris Duffus was 20 or 21, IIRC.

28? 29? And the NCAA stuck it to Bertrand and Cornell his senior season, which would be the 1970 unbeaten (Ken Dryden?) year. Because he was a foreigner and older, the NCAA didn't let him play in the NCAA playoffs, the idea being foreigners might have an unfair advantage spending all those years lifting weights. But that rule never applied to Americans.

Because who would want to acknowledge that they're an internationally recognized university with global appeal attracting students from outside America's USA borders, amirite?  They kept them dang ferrners outside the walls of fair Cambridge Allston, after all.
