Recruits 2024 and Beyond

[scoop85]

Time for a new recruiting thread.

Goalie Erick Roest, who's a 2024 recruit, was the starting goalie for Canada West who won gold at the World Junior A Challenge in Nova Scotia. Roest stopped 30 of 32 shots in the championship game as Canada West beat Canada East 7-2. Roest stopped 37 shots in Canada West's 4-3 OT upset over the U.S. in the semifinal.

Fellow Cornell recruits Aiden Long, a forward, and Nick Wolfenberg, a defenseman, also won gold, but I don't believe either of them got a point during the tournament.

Both wins were upsets.  Canada West was 4 of 5 in the group round.

If I'm reading this right, neither Long nor Wolfenberg were on the final roster. They and Roest all made the 2022 Canada West roster and played.

Ok, that makes sense. I misread the 2023 roster.

Forward Parker Murray from Chilliwack of the BCHL has committed to Cornell. He's a 20 year old 6'5" power forward who has a heavy shot. He's the son of longtime NHLer Glen Murray.

Seems like we have a lot of guys set to come in and not many set to leave, curious to see what happens.

2 inches taller than our last Murray with a heavy shot. Sounds good to me.

From Manhattan Beach, CA, like Ian Shane.  But no apparent overlap of teams.

Nice article despite the mention of Boston.

"I want a school that will give me an opportunity to be able to be me and not transform me into someone else."

I dunno. When he comes to Cornell, Mike is likely to want him to improve his defensive game.

[Trotsky]

Perhaps he wants to be a great two-way player and have a 12-year NHL career like Manderville.

Maybe he means that he wants to go to class.

Murray scored 4 goals in a bchl playoff game last year.   Not bad.

And then he scored 4 more goals in the very next game.

Can we have this version of him, please?
