Recruits 2026 and Beyond

[The Rancor]

We just like twins around here.

At least we know we have first dibs on recruits from Tennessee

RPI had 2 on last year's roster, Trevor Russell and Carson Dorfman.

In determining how optimistic we should be, for these twins, just like most of our 16- and early-17-year-old commitments, there's no real information to rely on. It's pure wait-and-see. That's just how it is unless the kid is on the USNTDP or was taking in the first round of a junior hockey draft or something to that effect.

incorrect i choose to get excited about the fact that the school targeted a player(s) and the player(s) chose cornell. i will then get angry at what a disappointing failure they are later if they don't crush it.

I choose to get excited about hockey players playing for the team I like ☺️

holy fuck they're making children born in 2009 shit has to stop

Peyton: 6'1", 165lbs, Rshot, F position
Ben: 6'0", 165lbs, Rshot, C position

Peyton: 56gp, 22-52-74pts. Puts him at 65th in 16U AAA.
Ben: 49gp, 23-35-58pts.


Top players in 16U AAA are around 110pts this year. Top player this year, Caine Bickel, put up 80-70-150pts. But he's going to the Omaha Lancers so that should fix itself.

Brampton next year... asking CHL friend...

"Their goalies are good"
"Bonded pair" "yes they are twins" "oops"
"If they're good enough to commit they should make it [onto the Steelheads main roster]"
"Bton is pretty mid if I'm remembering"
"I remembered wrong, they didn't make playoffs which means they were bottom 4"
"I think your guys will make it, especially if some of those steelheads get poached"
"First line, third line, press box?" "Uh maybe 3rd right now?"

So we'll see how well they adjust to CHL play. Wouldn't expect miracle numbers given the team seems to be crappy, but development would be good. I'd guess they play 2 years in the O and then come to Cornell at 19 (in 28-29).
