Top pair guy on a very good team. Excellent.

Robertson replacement?

Robertson replacement?

Sure looks that way.

Out of curiosity, anybody know if Wolfenberg was healthy the last half of the season? My vague memory is he left the lineup after an injury and never made it back but I wasn't paying much attention to lineups between February and Placid.

Robertson replacement?

He looks more like a Douglas Murray replacement.

Our defense corps was beginning to tilt righthanded, and Luke Ashton will balance things out in this regard.

Robertson replacement?

Well, he has 8 inches and 50 pounds on Robertson, and appears to be a shoot-first rather than pass-first defenseman, so probably a very different player. But we have players like Veilleux and Fegaras who can step into Robertson's role so we will have some puck moving D.

Interesting that of the three draft picks coming in, two are transfers and one is a defection.

I'm sure there's no shortage of good players who would transfer to Cornell as there are many good non-athletes who would do the same. I knew several people who transfered to Cornell when I was a student and they did just fine on campus and afterwards. IMO, being transfer friendly is a significant advantage over the other Ivys.

Plus, you'll always have Cornell on your resume. Sounds a little better than Mankato or Northeastern.

Also preplanning Veilleux chants for Harvard. Give me a V, give me an E... give me an X, what's that spell? NOT YOURS.

If my math is still adequate, we will have 8 draft picks on the squad, none of them seniors:

Pelletier and Veilleux score as their teams win game 2 of their semis. Muskegon up 2-0, Lincoln tied 1-1.

Pirtle with the game-winner last nite, assist from Hiscock, at 19:52 3rd period

Vielleux named All-USHL second team:

Lincoln (digiulian, Pelletier, sandruck) eliminated, Muskegon (veilleux) is in the finals starting Friday. Victoria (Pirtle and Hiscock) and Penticton (Ryan, fisher (though he hasn't played recently) and Wehmann) in the BCHL semi finals. Nice to see some of our guys make extended runs.

Nice that we have an All-USHL second-team commit. And makes one wonder, where's the first team going to?

I went to the Twitter page for the ND reporter, Brad Elliott Schlossman (who created the above post), and this guy posts enough enough interesting stuff to maybe lift X stock. He posts about a kid getting a hockey stick left for him, an ND NHLer coming back. He is @SChlossmanGF, which either stands for gluten free or Grand Forks. Back in 2018 he also Tweeted that he has covered his 400th consecutive UND hockey game.

As for the first team
Will Zellers, F, Green Bay Gamblers -- North Dakota
Ryker Lee, F, Madison Capitols, also ROTY -- Michigan State
Giacomo Martino, F, Sioux City Musketeers -- Northeastern. Is he going to have time for coop?
Luke Osburn, D, Youngstown Phantoms -- Wisconsin
Sam Laurila, D, Fargo Force -- North Dakota
Yan Shostak, G, Lincoln Stars (via Belarus) -- St. Cloud State

The only other ECAC commit:
Third team, Etienne Lessard, D, Lincoln Stars -- Union

Hiscock had 2 goals & 2 assists for the Grizzlies last nite. He now leads the BCHL in playoff points.  Pirtle is tied for 3rd.
