Prospect Updates

At least one castaway from UIC made a big splash with Clarkson.  Morin, maybe?

[Josh '99]

At least as far as I can tell from HockeyDB, nobody from UIC transferred to Clarkson.  *shrug*

[adamw]

Claude Morin transferred from Kent.  Very good player.

"6'3", 200 lb. Jon Marshall, an '86 from the Boston Junior Bruins, is big and every now and then does something to make you take note. However, he needs to produce offense more consistently. Experience and hard work could get him there. Marshall is a top student and Harvard and Cornell are both reportedly interested."

that's from USHR news from August (for more recent archives, you have to pay). Anyone know if there's further news about this kid, or any other Cornell-related info in the more recent news?

I hope he's reading the Mazz threads on USCHO.B-]

[dss28]

Maybe he's got jam.

Now, that's a chief justice.

[jkahn]

I hope he's watching or at the game Friday and gets a sense of Lynah East.

A piece about Sawada and Mugford heading to Cornell from Nanaimo:

Also this was posted to the BCHL message board. Apparently Sawada is attracting a lot of attention from NHL scouts (he was listed on the central scouting "players to watch" but there are no BCHL players in the "preliminary rankings").

"I was at the Eagles/Clippers game on Saturday night and there had to be close to 50 scouts in the stands. I spoke to one and asked him who he was looking at and he said SAWADA from Nanaimo. I watched him that night and he has nice hands, size and hits like a Mack Truck."

Is anyone else annoyed when they read an article that mentions "Hockey Scholarships" for Ivy students?

I have gotten into some pretty serious discussions with people who have insisted to me that so-and-so got an athletic scholarship to an Ivy school.

Yep.:-(

It doesn't bother me in the least. Canada doesn't have "need based financial aid". Any money provided toward university is considered a "scholarship". Because of the difference (albeit a much smaller difference than 1 yr ago) in currency, 99/100 Canadians attending Cornell get a nice financial aid package or, in Canadian terms, a scholarship.

That is all likely true, but it's not a "hockey" scholarship.  It's need-based financial aid.

[Greg Berge]

But it's a mistake that is made again and again in Canadian articles about Cornell prospects.  Especially out in BC, nobody realizes that the Ivies do not have athletic scholarships (or have them but play semantic games with them, or whatever...)

[Jordan 04]

It doesn't really annoy me either.

It's like when people use "irregardless."  Sure, the word doesn't truly exist, and it happens too much, but it's not something I'm going to get flustered over.

(But ending a sentence with a prepositio...that annoys me.)
