Kraft is also 24th in the USHL in goals per game. He is listed at only 5'8.

Long has the second most PPG among 2005 birth years in the AJHL, just behind a Colgate commit.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

6'3", 190 lb.  Our kind of player.

Heck, in some years past, that'd be a forward on a Cornell basketball team.

Looks like we could use him.

I don't believe we've ever had a USHL recruit so high on the league scoring list this far into the season.

Brown Ferlin finished 3rd in the USHL in scoring in 2010-11. Alex Limoges (who ultimately decommitted) finished 7th in 2016-17. They're the only players who come to mind in recent history.

He's only 6'1 though.

Cornell will need to replace the 5 forwards and 3 defensemen graduating (all of whom were everyday players and big contributors). It is easy to find 3 college-ready defensemen among the recruits. I would expect Robertson, Fegaras, and Wolfenberg to contribute immediately. Steele and/or Mosko may also come. For the forwards, it's not so easy finding 5 players who clearly look college-ready. Walsh, Kraft, and Devlin will definitely come. But I'm not sure who the two others would be. Cornell could choose to accelerate Pirtle and/or Castagna, both of whom have a chance of being drafted this year. However, neither has played any junior hockey, so this wouldn't be ideal and I doubt the staff would want this. Wishart, Catalano, and Major all have junior hockey experience, but haven't put up numbers and could use another year to develop. I wonder if Cornell looks at the transfer portal or tries to snag a very late recruit at forward. (Can Berard come back for a fifth year?)

Is there something about berards situation that makes you think it's possible?

No, just wishful thinking.

Just noticed Ryan St. Louis, Martin's son, transferred to Brown, after a sojourn back in the USHL this last year, from Northeastern. Watch out for Bruno next year!

Good article on 100 point seasons, goalies and expanded schedules.
