One brother played @ Sucks, another is a senior at Babson, and another is a BU commit. Beau is listed as a "C" on the NHL watch list. Heisenberg has him listed as a 2015 and 69th in the Northeast.

Welcome, Beau!

Based on the address, I think we already have a theme song!

Mr. Beau Dangles

Thanks for the info.
Welcome Sam.
It'll be awhile though, as Sam has a '98 birthdate.

Here's some stuff:

U.S. Hockey Report puts him in the "Best of the Rest" catgory and says"

Sam Sternschein, F (Long Island Gulls U14/Black) 6-2/170 — Tall and skilled forward showed flashes of his high upside, but also went long stretches during which we didn't notice him. Struggled on the Olympic sheet.

Scouting News says he is ranked #25 in the OHL draft this year.

Sam Sternschein is from Syosset, which is also the hometown of recruit Corey Hoffman.

Here is a blurb on him from USHR in August 2012:

Sam Sternschein, F, '98 (Long Island Gulls) — A player we were not previously familiar with.  A big kid – 6'2" -- with a soft set of hands, Sternschein needs to add some quickness and tenacity to his game, but his potential is very high. It is not easy to find players with his frame – and an elite skill set. Sternschein will be followed closely over the next two years, but we think he will be someone the NTDP takes a long look at.

The USHR had this in November 2012.

Sam Sternschein, F (Long Island Gulls U14) — There is a lot to like about the Long Island product. When you see him skating around the first word that will pop into your head is "pro." He has that tall, lanky frame – he's 6'2" – and a nice long stride that makes scouts drool. That said, our knock on him is that there are long stretches of games where he is not involved. With his talent he should be dominant at this age, but there are times when he is not even the most productive forward on his own team.

And this from May 2013:

Sam Sternschein, F, '98 (Long Island Gulls) 6-1/165 — Was placed on the same team as Harper and the two were dominant at times. Sternschein is tall, skilled, and projects well. Still needs to add a little more "get up and go" to his skating, but there is no doubt he is a prospect worth keeping tabs on.

He's 15 and he's already 6'2"?  Sounds like he's just figuring out how to work his new big body.  He's got a few years to learn.

He's only played a couple of AYHL games so far this year.......2 goals in 2 games.Sam's stats

This is the same league that Joakim Ryan (Devils), Eric Sade (Little Caps) and recruit Alex Rauter (North Jersey Avalanche) came from, although I think they "committed" much later.  It's good AAA hockey, probably 10-20 kids per birth year make it to D1 hockey.  My 3 boys play AAA hockey for the North Jersey Avalanche, I'm hoping that Coach has his eye on my oldest (14), he's a sniper.  Class of '21 to '23 depending on how much junior seasoning he needs!

EDIT - P.S. Dante Palecco ('98 birth year) is a sniper, hope the staff has their eyes on him as well.

They may have, but he just committed to Yale:

Dont forget about Donovan Ott as well. He played for the Hershey Jr. Bears then the Philadelphia Junior Flyers. He committed prior to his sophmore year at South Kent. AYHL has tons of talent. Agree with Palecco have gotten to watch him play against my son for years, he always played up a birth year.BTW best thing about going to Hackensack for a game against the Avalanche is Brooklyn's pizza shop down the street from the rink.

If you're going to Hackensack you've got to try White Mana: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9RRsUbDV0U

I know when the boys were in town last year they stopped at white mana. Heart attack in a sack.

good recruiting by big red.
adding some of the typical tall players we need to be successful.
Taller the better

[billhoward]

This is always an upbeat thread. Recruiting lists make you hopeful for next season and the season after that. Everybody recruited into college, including ours, has awesome prep and junior stats.

Seconded.  It should be noted that Guy Fieri is, thankfully, not usually there.

Daniel Wedman of the Bonnyville Pontiacs for 2015/16. http://collegehockeyinc.com/stats/commitments.php. His page http://ajhl.esportsdesk.com/leagues/rosters_profile.cfm?clientID=1705&leagueID=3464&teamID=378815&playerID=933441.

I have long liked the name Bonnyville Pontiacs.
