Recruits 2014

Trotsky · February 11, 2014, 08:58:13 AM

Something very nasty has happened to the old Recruits thread (don't go there, it immediately crashes you out of eLynah), so what the hey, why not a new one?

Looking at BRPH's still-maintained recruit stat table, a few things jump out:

Strenshein: 19 GP, 19-5-24

Well, we did say we wanted guys who weren't shy about taking the shot.

Yates: 27 GP, 26-17-43

Not sure if he's facing Little Sisters of the Poor but that's gaudy.

Stoick: 32 GP, 64 PIMs.

Looks like Gavin has, ahem, retooled his game in preparation for the sequel. He's still just 19.

Hackett: 9 GP.

Teammate of Stoick with Green Bay and finally back from the injury that took him out for 2 months.

The one that jumps out at me is Dwyer Tschantz: Playing in the USHL, #2 on his teams in goals scored, and 6'5".

Yates will be interesting -- he's playing prep hockey, the transition to a higher level of competition can be uneven (see Alex Rauter).

If you want to look up further information on Yates, I highly encourage you to include the term "hockey" in your Google search; there's another Trevor Yates who makes movies you wouldn't want coming up on your work computer.

(Or, for all I know, maybe it's the same Trevor Yates.)

It never hurts to have something to put on your application under "extracurricular activities."

Or to have something to go pro in other than sports.

Met two sets of parents on Friday at the Onion game. I hope they are back tonight.

Racine from Ottawa has great parents that sat behind us. His uncle played goalie for Northeadtern, winning all American honours and the beanpot.

I also noticed the Strensheins as we were entering Lynah. LGR!

Chad Otterman, a big, 1995-born forward from Morristown, New Jersey and the Delbarton School, has committed to Cornell.

Chad Otterman is projected as a mid-round draft pick by NHL Central Scouting. There are now 4 Cornell recruits listed in the midterm rankings.

This is great news, especially since we will not be too badly damaged by this year's graduations (assuming Gillam / Hackett can replace Iles). It helps to flatten out the "key class / support class" two-piston cycle that has been building lately as well.

We have way too many forwards slated to enter this Fall. Maybe some of them are insurance against junior defections or underclass washouts.

If our lacrosse program wasn't one of the six, or even if it was, maybe he could play after hockey season. Harry Orr did it.

At scholarship schools, if an athlete plays two sports does that tally against both scholarship limits or just one?

(Hopefully it's both or you could really abuse the system by, say, loading up on "gymnasts" who also just happen to play nose tackle.)

Matt Moulson could have started for our lax team, as could Joe Neuwendyk in his day.

I'm pretty sure it's just one. Some sports have limited scholarships- lacrosse has only 12. Those teams mostly award fractional scholarships, so a player could get 1/2 a lacrosse scholarship and 1/2 a gymnastics scholarship for a full ride. It doesn't happen often.

Dwyer Tschantz is on fire playing in the USHL, 4 goals in his last 3 games.

Fractions makes sense, although you could still abuse it.
