Some nice words on some incoming recruits from:

Sam Sternschein, RW, 6-1/180, Tri-City Storm (Hockey Essentials White) - He was the best player on the ice all weekend for this observer's money. He was my ninth-ranked forward at last summer's Select 16s, but he was even better this weekend. He's continued to develop, get stronger and use his power to his advantage. He has an explosive first stride and can really pick up steam heading up ice. He had a heavy shot and is just a constant presence on the ice. College: Cornell

Mike O'Leary, LW, 6-2/180, Salisbury School (Boston Generals Draft) - The Nova Scotia native is a little more raw than Sternschein, but he has exceptional physical tools as well. He has the size and skating ability and can get off a quick, hard shot. He still has to put it together, but he has the potential to be a second to third round selection in next summer's draft. College: Cornell

We need scoring.  Any eligibility left?

I saw Sam Sternschein play a few times for his primary fall/winter team, the NJ Avalanche U18AAA team.  Hockey Essentials is a spring/summer program coached by his Avs coach.  The NJ Avalanche U18AAA team was a very strong team this past year, they lost in the USA Hockey national championship game in OT.  Sam played up as a 16 year old on this team.  Many of his teammates and competitors were 2 years older.  He held his own at this level, he wasn't overly fast or physical at this level but as a young player competing at a very advanced level he did quite well.  He often played on the top line of this team.  If his development curve continues and he gets faster he will be quite a college player.

Former Cornell commit Michael McCarron will be playing for the Oshawa Generals in the Memorial Cup Final tonight (NHL Network at 7 EDT).  As a scout for the Sabres said to me in Florida in December, Michael may be the only player to commit to three different NCAA teams and attend none of them.  He first committed to Michigan State approximaely at the beginning of ninth grade, then switched to Cornell after his brother John enjoyed a good freshman year.  After not being accepted he switched his commitment to Western Michigan, but after getting drafted in the first round by the Canadiens, he decided to go the major junior route instead.
Tonight's game is also the last game at the Colisee in Quebec, as a new arena is being built there,

Well, he is not in the Directory yet, so maybe not.

How come nobody wanted to check that guy?

Very excited about the group of recruits coming to Cornell in 2017.  O'Leary, Sternschein, Limoges and Dzhioshvili in particular should be impact players from day 1. The attached is from the Dubuque Fighting Saints tryout camp held recently.
