Recruits 2006: The New Thread

[Beeeej]

The old one's just getting unwieldy.

ObOnTopic:  Anybody here have a son getting close to college age who can play goalie?

Sorry, no goalie news...but another area kid is going to BC. Ryan Hayes, the leading scorer on the NTDP's U17 team appears as an Eagle commit on Heisenberg's site. Hayes is from Syracuse and played junior hockey for the Stars before heading to Ann Arbor. I don't know if Hayes fit Cornell's academic profile or if Cornell was in the running, but it was rumored he wanted to come east for school. Hayes is a 2007 recruit.

 ::help:: I love the BCHL pipeline, but please bring in Casey Jones to oversee US recruiting (and prepare for Mike's eventual departure). Is there an Ivy rule against having 3 assistant coaches?

[Beeeej]

A third assistant coach must be an unpaid volunteer.

I would think at this point Casey is hoping to land a head coaching position, having been the top assistant - excuse me, associate coach - at OSU for a long time now (11 seasons there).  While I'm sure he'd love the head job at his Alma Mater, there's no reason to think that Schafer is leaving anytime soon.  So i doubt he'd be eager to grab a job in Ithaca, even assuming one were open and Schafer wanted to hire him.

Well, once Mike gets called up to the Big Show, I'd be okay with Casey as a head coach with Brent and Scott as assistants with unpaid volunteer Joe "I don't need the money anyway" Nieuwendyk, assuming he eventually decides to stop pretending he's superman and retires.  

[Beeeej]

I dunno, if you kept racking up GWG in the Show, would you retire?  :-)

But, laxpower is reporting that Ryan Hurley (6'2") has committed to Cornell's lacrosse program. Hurley is the capitan of the Holy Angels' hockey team in Minnesota. Holy Angels is the defending AA State Champions & currently ranked #2 in Minnesota. Hurley's hockey mates include Cameron Cooper and Taylor Matson. Heisenberg has Cooper ranked as the 5th best prospect (2006) in Minnesota/Mid-West and Matson as the 2nd best prospect (2007) in the region.

Sorry, it's a slow day.

Maybe not this year or next,  but  good article on the Ithaca High School hockey Team  goalies.   2 rotate in net alot - one a young lady is a senior and captain of the boys team - headed to play D1 at NH next year, the other is an 8th grader learning and improving...

I've seen them play a couple of times and Andy Iles looks very quick, smooth, and pretty solid fundamentally. He's very small (listed at 5'5"), but sure acts comfortable in the net. He's going to have to venture from home, however, if he wants to test himself.

I wish Ithaca could get a team in the Empire Junior HL so local kids had an option closer to home, and it might help recruiting for Cornell -- it wouldn't be like USNTDP/Ann Arbor/UMichigan but it couldn't hurt.

It's too bad Lucy isn't heading to Cornell.

I'm not sure if I should be offended because you told me to shut up or because you used Little Richard to do your dirty work.:-}

Joe Scali returned to the Bulldogs lineup tonight and recorded an assist, after missing the last 10 games nursing a lower body injury. Two other injured teammates also returned and the red-hot Dogs posted their 15th consecutive win, 4-1 over the Burnaby Express. Two more games to go this weekend and by then Joe should have shaken off what little rust he may have acquired. Who knows, by next Tuesday the Bulldogs could be the #1 nationally ranked team in Canadian Jr. A hockey. Quite an ascent for a team enjoying a great season.
Like I said before, Jordan Kremyr & Bradyn Melrose - up for grabs - Cornell you paying attention to these two guys at all?

Justin Milo was traded to the Lincoln Stars, along with a goalie who's bounced around the BCHL and USHL for a while, for Steve Jakiel (who chose Michigan over Cornell). He hasn't performed as well as last year, hopefully the change of scenery will get him back to his goal-scoring ways.

[LRT]

Joe Scali wasted little time getting back into the action this week, scoring another hilite reel goal as the Bulldogs posted their 16th straight win at the expense of Williams Lake. Today (Sunday), Alberni Valley Scali and his team registered their 17th in a row.

A few people said that Princeton had scouts in Alberni Valley over the past weekend.....Kremyr? Melrose?

[mikee293]

it could be my imagination.....but it seemed like there was a whole slew of talented players who were considering Cornell and then signed elsewhere. Am i imagining this? I would imagine that this would happen frequently........where a player is attracted to Cornell because of its tradition, but decides against coming because some other school is offering a big scholarship and at Cornell he would have to pay 40k a year. Any thoughts?
