Recruits 2016 and Beyond

Three guys have been added to Heisenberg's 2016 page:

Jeff Malott, LW, Brooks (AJHL)
Matthew Cairns, LD, Georgetown (OHL)
Michael Regush, RW, Merritt (BCHL)

And a fourth from earlier who I think we missed:

Kyle Betts, C, Waterloo (GOJHL)

2017 recruit Alex Green suits up tonight on the NHL network in the All American Prospects Game.

I counted 5 Big Red recruits on the NHL draft September preliminary 2015 players to watch.

Good news after last year's shut out. Do you remember the 5?

Edit: Never mind. I see Kubachka, Cairns, O'Leary, Green, Sternshein: [www.nhl.com] All predicted 4th round or later.

Kyle Betts too, so it looks like 6.

Nice catch gjp. 6 future Cornell players to watch for the 2015 draft is impressive.

Noah Bauld (Lloydminster Bobcats [AJHL]) apparently for 2017.

Congrats to Highlander captain @nububauld on committing to @CUBigRedHockey. A+ work ethic in school and on ice. @USHRhockey @OTBPuckWatch

So a Cornell recruit traded for a Dartmouth recruit.

I still find it off-putting that 17 and 18 year-old kids can be traded in junior hockey

I thought that only happened in major junior (Canadian tier 1), but I guess it makes sense that it also does in the USHL (US tier 1). Are trades allowed in Junior A (Canadian Tier 2, e.g., BCJHL, AJHL, etc)?

There are also trades in the Canadian Tier 2 leagues, even on occasion between the leagues. Then latter might require consent of the players involved.

New recruit (for 2018-19) -- Josh Nelson, forward for the Chicago Fury U-18 team. He's a draft pick of the Des Moines Buccaneers of the USHL.

I believe there are actually 4 -- Betts, Cairns, Sternshein and O'Leary

New recruit -- Cam Donaldson, F, The Gunnery School.

Here's what Jeff Cox from the SB Nation College Hockey Blog said about Donaldson last December:

Cameron Donaldson, Jr., LC, 7/14/98 - Despite being undersized he had the most upside of any player on the ice all day in Exeter. He flies around the ice, he's got great speed and good hands and is agile on his feet. He was the catalyst of a very good young line that Chris Baudo threw out there with '99 Zach Pellegrino and '98 Matt Danner. Donaldson does a terrific job of distributing the puck and being patient enough and skilled enough to draw defenders his way before finding open teammates.

Thx scoop. Believe the 4 players on the watch list are the most of any ECAC team.

Jeff Malott named AJHL player of the month

Maybe something related to this?

From www.maizenbrew.com

Green Bay Gamblers center Connor Murphy has switched his commitment from Michigan to Cornell and will join their program next year.


Murphy committed to the program two years ago as a budding star playing for Caledonia in Canadian Junior B. After a year in the USHL with the Chicago Steel Murphy signed his letter of intent and was expected to join the 2015 class but instead went back to the USHL for another year. Now he has been released from his letter of intent and the two have parted ways.

New recruit: Tristan Mullin, F with the Powell River Kings of the BCHL. In his first year with the River Kings he's the team's leading scorer with 31 points in 34 games. Mullin is Kyle Betts' linemate (Betts is the River Kings' 4th leading scorer).

Since Mullin is a 19 years old, I'm assuming he'll be coming in next year.

FYI Tristan is listed at: Height: 6'1. Weight: 183. Hometown: Cartwright, MAN. Shoots: Left.

It would be interesting if the prospects had ratings like the football 4-star ratings on Rivals. I guess the closest we have are the CHL and USHL draft numbers and the Central Scouting rankings.

The number of views on the Elite Prospects profile is also interesting. Look who's 89th.

It's everybody. I notice that Alex Green is no longer on Elite Prospects' list. He is a D. Hopefully that is an oversight and not a loss.

I have added Green above.

Thanks. With such a huge anticipated incoming class again next year (10 to replace 4 for a team that is already at a higher roster size than ever before) I assumed there must be several decommits.

I had completely forgotten BRPH does this. Would have saved me the work. BRPH shows 5 incoming to replace 4. That makes more sense.

Regarding Ott...

Also, Kaldis both is a defender and has the highest ppg in the entire list. Most of his points are assists, but the numbers are still impressive. Does he play under unusual circumstances?

Kaldis is the highest scoring D-man in the entire BCHL. Jeff Malott is averaging 1.6 pts/game, which appears to be the highest average in the entire AJHL. LGR!

Kaldis will make a wonderful upgrade over Willcox...... I still can't figure out why Coach insists on playing Reece on the PP. The guy has such an aversion to taking shots-on-goal. Mike even acknowledges that that's a shortcoming....Aren't PP's intended for scoring goals?? The opponents have to know that he will NOT shoot at their goalie. That must give them an advantage when defending him.... This boggles my mind.... Reece is a lock-down defenseman. But, I will be glad to see an offensive minded d-man on the PP in the future.

Michael O'Leary has recently decommitted. Very possible he ends up in the QMJHL

And then there were the athletes. After fierce pressure from the athletic department, I had to admit a highly sought-after French Canadian hockey recruit. He had crappy grades, dismal scores, and his essay consisted of one sentence scribbled hastily in pencil: “I want to bée a great hockey player.” To add insult to injury, he decided to go to Boston University.

Which I found in this excerpt.

I don't know where he's headed next in his diarrhea diaries but his second offering was also featured in the the Post.

I apologize to anyone looking for info regarding our recruits here as this post could fit in the "John Spenser is" Forum or in many other threads. We don't have or need a Yale sucks thread.

Hard time believing? Not for a minute. My take is he had to change some details to protect the guilty. It was really a Texas football player who chose instead to go to Harvard.

Cornell recruit Cam Donaldson is one of several college recruits mentioned in this game write-up.
[www.sbncollegehockey.com]
"Donaldson, a '98 senior left wing committed to Cornell, was the best player for the visitors. He's very quick and crafty and has continued to get better. He was a very nice pickup for the Big Red.'

We all seem to have missed this commit from 6 weeks ago: Morgan Barron, F, St. Andrews Prep.

Getting towards the end of their season, we do seem to have some potential scorers in the pipeline. It's anybody's guess if it will translate into D-1 production, but:

What's the coefficient you have to multiple Proj by to get their D-1 production? .7? .5? .3? We'll see.

Well, according to the System(TM) c = (26-N)/26, where N is the alphabetical ordinal ranking of the first letter of Head Coach's last name (e.g., A=1, B=2, etc.).

I wish that would work.

Getting towards the end of their season, we do seem to have some potential scorers in the pipeline. It's anybody's guess if it will translate into D-1 production, but:

Proj Player, GP, G, (Proj: projection of player's G/GP percentage over a 35-game season)

32 Donaldson, 32, 29
23 Barron 65, 43

Well, then the projected numbers would be:

8.6 Donaldson
6.2 Barron
4.8 Malott
4.8 Mullin

Not terrible, but not particularly impressive either. Be careful what you wish for.

And BC gets #110, 141, 156, 166, 190, and the #5 goaltender. What's the matter with these kids? Don't they know the ECAC is now the dominant eastern league?

Speaking of the ECAC, Sucks picks up #50, 123, & 196. Yale gets #122 & 175. Clarkson, #138. Q gets #126. RIP, #185. These are the only ECAC teams I saw.

The Hockey News draft preview has Matthew Cairns ranked 84th of all players. The brief write-up says "Big and fast. Sometimes tries to do too much. Cornell bound."

Alex Limoges, who's slated to enter Cornell in the fall of 2017, had a great rookie season and playoff (14 points in 11 playoff games) for Tri-City in the USHL as they won the Clark Cup. Encouraging to see such scoring prowess in what is widely recognized as the top Junior A league in North America.

Jeff Malott, who I believe is heading to Ithaca this fall, had 12 points in 13 playoff games for the Brooks Bandits of the AJHL, who lost in the semifinals of the RBC Cup, which is a "Tournament of Champions" for Canadian Junior A teams. Malott was his team's MVP during the regular season, with 60 points in 46 games.

There are lots of kids that can score in juniors. But only a few have the inner talent to be molded into grind-it-out role players.

If you had "1" in the pool for number of Cornellians, you win.

Predictions for Cornellians in the draft, anyone?

1. Two recruits born a day apart (Betts and Limoges) will get drafted in succession.

2. Cornell's total will not equal the number of BU's first round selections.

The incoming recruiting class has been released on the Cornell Athletics website.

Noah Bauld, who was thought to be coming in 2017, is part of the incoming class. No other surprises.

Interesting quote from Schafer in the release: "Gone are the days where you can physically punish teams, so now you have to intimidate with speed."

Maybe he's getting it, after all.... Let's wait & see if the results show on the scoreboard. It will be fun to watch!!!

Personally, the only thing that (fake) miffs me is that we'll have a guy named Murphy.

(It was a recurring joke between a few of my friends given the number of rivals/refs named Murphy we got to hate in the mid-to-late '90s.)

New recruit (for 2018-19) -- Josh Nelson, forward for the Chicago Fury U-18 team. He's a draft pick of the Des Moines Buccaneers of the USHL.

Unfortunately, Nelson recently signed with London (OHL).

Well, best of luck to him. But I will always wonder about the wisdom of passing up the college experience (at Cornell or elsewhere) to go the Major Junior route, especially for American kids.
