Liam Pecarro (sp?), I know he was injured early onl

I like every one of those names over Fighting Hawks, besides the Blue Jacket's second choice. The second sentence of my OP wasn't my point however.

During the game I thought the Caggs hit was kind of dirty however I just saw the replay on twitter and he hits him directly in the chest. Bogus suspension?

Do they have a Native American nickname/mascot? I'm guessing they would have came up with some better choices.

Haha, or he wanted to decommit and his daddy wouldn't let him

Weird Schloss just received a tweet back from Mark Kunin (Kunin's Dad?) saying that he will be in GF for this weekend's games.

Im not saying it isn't my #2 behind Nodaks, I'm just saying it's bland to me.

Sounds like Kunin bolted WIS....that's a big blow. Boy is college hockey losing out on these higher end players.

Yup your right on Yon, I forgot about him. I could see him coming in and playing a lower line role. I think both Keane and Bowen would really benefit from playing another year of juniors. Mattson's draft stock will obviously take a beating most likely but you're correct, he's another guy that show play one more season in the USHL. It benefited Wilkie a ton. I would like to see most of our guys get the chance to play one more year of juniors and see Berry take a run at those two Finn's playing at Sioux City I believe.

Choosing the name of a local high school isn't unique, which makes the choice rather bland or "blah" to me.

I think he'll get a chance to take it early. You must have read Schloss' Herald aritcle.

The only forwards that are ready are Hoff and Jost. Judging by your senior forward total, Berry will either have to find 2 more or bring in someone that probably isn't 100% ready. Mattson is going back to GRHS after a disappointing dozen USHL games; Keane and Bowen are struggling. Collin Adams isn't tearing up the USHL, but he's putting up some points. He might be young. Other than Hoff and Jost, I can't seem to find one of our forward recruits that are producing at the moment. I could be missing someone.

Which name isn't bland?

Went Nodaks, could live with any I guess. RR is a strong #2.

Should be nice, I've been slightly worried about some of our commits playing in the USHL. None of them, other than Hoff now, are doing anything.

Hrynkiw may be getting close to passing Johnson but everyone needs to remember we have been playing some of the worst teams in the country. The one good thing about Hrynkiw is that he seems to be relatively calm in their where Johnson always looked shakey early on in games. It's Tomeks net when he's back.

the NCHC is snakebite against those higher end Hockey East teams. I never saw DU getting swept out there.

The previous poster quoted Teddy as well. But your point is accurate, I'm guessing many people said derogatory statements about Native Americans back in those days.

Absolutely. Undergrad is still not all that tough. This kids would simply have to have passing grades, that's all. Not tough for a kid who could have gotten into Harvard. Get some C's for the rest of the year and drop out.

Oh sure. He would be at BC for more than one year, just like he'll play this year and next year in Kitchener.

He won't be playing against professionals, he'll be playing against very good 16-19 year olds.

Exactly, he's not leaving because of grades. Everyone knew that Kitchener was going to be a very solid team this year he could have went right away and not left his team hanging. I have no problem with kids going the CHL route but bailing on your squad after 5 games is terrible and shows a lack of character. I hope the kid stays healthy and all but he's no longer one of my fav's you can say that.

This kid would be taking generals, lets no kid ourselves college is no longer all that hard (at least the general class and most undergrad classes, especially the majors most elite hockey players take). At least get through the year, then drop out. Don't leave your squad after 5 games. York could have, and would brought in another talented player to add depth. 5 games?

Great post!

Right, and this kid was initially committed to Harvard. I'm sure his grades are just fine. He thinks he's on the fast track to the NHL.
