That's unfortunate. I hate seeing these CNY/WNY kids keep getting away.

True, but on the other hand, the way to taunt Morin practically writes itself. :-D

We used to do it to Princeton's Benoit Morin as a matter of fact.

And I thought the cheer would have been gone with the Moore brothers...

An intersting note on Notre Dame's Blake Gallagher, who is tearing up the Jr.A circuit with 10 goals in his first 10 games. Because of the new Canadian Hockey rules on out-of-province players under the age of 18, Gallagher technically is an "affiliated" player on the Jr.A squad, meaning he has to play at least half of the season with the Notre Dame midget Hounds. As a result, he'll have to suit up for 22 midget contests in addition to the 55-game Jr.A slate.

My guess is this new rule is what's keeping him out of the lineup, thankfuly not an injury.

I actually don't think so..he hasn't played in any recent midget games either. I don't think it  makes him miss any of the Jr. A games, he just has to play the midget games _also_. Notre Dame doesn't have much of a website for the hockey team, so it's hard to find any injury info.

Cornell fans are going to love Joe Scali. Arguably the best forechecker in the BCHL, unarguably the hardest working player. Absolute dynamo, SUPER FAST, hits hard, now is scoring....man, what can I say? Cornell scored. If you can, get up here and see him in action at the dogpound. Smokin' Joe is unreal.....

And RPI's first Captain when hockey was reintroduced by Ned Harkness was named Burton Clarkson.   ::yark::

Also interesting to note that Cheverie has committed for 07 rather than 06 like we had expected him to if he had chosen Cornell.  Could that have been a factor?

Sounds like '07 would have been perfect if McKee returns for his final year.

Here's a pretty current line on next year's recruits. It doesn't include Romano's exhibitions, Milo's Buc Bowls, or Gallagher's AAA games.

Anthony Romano (AJHL), 14-22-15-37
Justin Milo (USHL), 12-3-6-9
Brendon Nash (BCHL), 15-2-10-12
Colin Greening (BCHL), 21-9-17-26   
Blake Gallagher (SJHL), 16-15-2-17
Joe Scali (BCHL),  22-13-8-21

It's neither there nor there for Cheverie at this point, but don't you want an overlap to give a chance to see him in practice, improve his skills, and maybe even get into a few games if he's good enough before taking over the full time roll?

That was how Lenny worked (came in Underhill's senior year), and McKee was *supposed* to come in Lenny's senior year. And now Schafer is looked for a goalie to come in McKee's senior year, so it seems to be the way he likes to run it at least.

And yeah, it coulda been a factor, you never know.

I agree with that.  After last season, not many of us remember that McKee was painfully average his freshman year.  That was no fault of his own considering he was no ready to be a full time #1 goaltender yet.  The ideal situation is what LeNeveu had, splitting time as a freshman, getting the feet wet, then ideally being ready to take the reigns sophomore year.  That was the plan for McKee had LeNeveu stayed but even if Marr didn't get hurt.  You do not want a situation where you have a freshman as your exclusive #1 goalie no matter how special he is.
