Another New Recruit

[pfibiger]

Looks like we got another winger. Seems like we're going to have an awfully large number of forwards next year, no? We lose 3, gain 6, and we've already got a bunch of guys (McCutcheon, McLeod, McKeown..man, don't try to play hockey at Cornell if your last name starts with Mc) not playing regularly. Anyway, he's the leading scorer on the BCHL Quesnel Millionaires, 6'2", 192...

here's his profile:

an excerpt:
Ryan Kindret of Winnipeg, MB has accepted a scholarship to Cornell University for the 2005-06 season. Kindret leads the Millionaires in points with 29 goals and 31 assists with 6 games remaining in the regular season.

his line:
51-29-31-60-86

Even though he plays the other wing, I have to think that this has to have something to do with Connors having such a mediocre season.

Jersey Number: 17
Position: LW
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 192
Hometown: Winnipeg, MB
Shoots: Left
Date of Birth: April 11, 1985 (19 years)  <-- yikes...

His production has really picked up in the second half of the season.

The more I think about it, I don't know that I think it has anything to do with Connors and his production..The class that'll be seniors next year has 5 core, starting forwards. I guess in order to not have a huge gaping hole in two years, you bring in more guys than you need next year, and then you have a much more seasoned/advanced group to fill in for Moulson/Hynes/Abbots/Pegs

Woo!

[calgARI '07]

They have 4 LW's coming in next year but Kennedy and Barlow play center as well I guess.

[pfibiger]

I know that the St. Thomas Stars list Kennedy as a C.

Also of note, the Stars finished up their regular season, Mike Kennedy finished the regular season  32-15-19-34-28 and now leads the team with 5 goals in 4 playoff games.

other stat updates:

Matt Connors is 38-15-16-31

Evan Barlow is 49-35-34-69-60

Tyler Mugford is 51-18-23-41-112

Jared Seminoff is 44-6-16-22-64

Taylor Davenport is  46-7-11-18-72

[calgARI '07]

The really big question mark is Greening.  Great size and great numbers coming out of a not so good league.  Ranked pretty high for the draft considering - really tough to say.  

[Trotsky]

It surprises me a little that one or two of the forwards are not deferring until Fall '06 (although I suppose they always can).  Are they going to get experience and adjust to the college game by riding the pine for a year?  Would it not be as effective (perhaps moreso) to play an extra year in the BCHL or wherever?

[calgARI '07]

It wasn't until around March last year that Mugford deferred so I wouldn't be at all surprised if one or two of them deferred.  I would say Greening and Davenport are possibilities because they are coming from not very strong leagues and Connors because he hasn't done that well this season.

Maybe its me being ignorant, but i thought Cornell, being part of the ivy league, could not give athletic scholarships.....  just curious

This sounds like a quote from one of the 225 "Cornell is overrated" threads on USCHO...
