Without looking through a list, I'm guessing most are from the East coast and after they de-commit they choose to stay out East. Seems pretty natural.

Yeah, I know.  More of a joke.

Eric Ciccolini to Michigan.  Pretty sure we were all in on him.

Interesting, do you know if that would have been for next year or two years from now?

If you are a kid who likes the big campus feel, it's gonna be awful hard to compete, no matter how good UND's program is.

And being from around Toronto, it isn't that far for family and friends to watch him play.

Agreed.....and there is nothing wrong with Michigan's program either.  Their recruiting classes coming up are loaded.

Cole Spicer playing for Central this year I see.  After next season I could see him taking the Caufield route.  

Over under for his points this season?  I'll say 40. 

He's finding out High School is a little harder than bantams, huh? 1-2-3 on the year when they've scored 36 goals already.

Haven't seen him play, but a saw a line chart that showed him on the fourth line. If that's the case he's probably not getting any PP time either. Maybe others who've seen him in person can chime in, but if you're a fourth liner with no PP time that would limit his opportunities. Central is pretty stacked from what I understand and he's only a freshman.

Yeah, his positioning in the lineup is very interesting.  3 pts in 3 games is not that great given the amount of goals they have scored and his talent level.  He should move up here soon.  Not sure if it's the coach keeping him down because of his age or not.

Not sure where he is as far as age goes but if he was still able to play Bantams that might have been the better choice. 60+ games against good Minnesota teams vs. 20 games and a limited role against a mixed bag of ND competition.

Agreed.  But he dominated last year so playing against bigger kids should challenge him more (just my opinion on development).  Also, he plays all spring/summer so the reduced games aren’t that big of a deal.  Seasons have flip flopped. Games all summer long train in the winter

Those Catholics believe that if you can get pregnant you can commit to a college hockey program. 

You just can't undo your commitment.

Trey Ausmus with 2 goals, 4 assists tonight as a 9th grader for EGF.  Against Park Rapids, but obviously a lot of skill.

I thought he would have more points at this time as well.

Lots of talented upperclassman at Central, I wouldn’t worry about Spicer.  The cupboard isn’t bare in GF for prospects coming up either. GF Aviators have shot up to #2 in MN Bantam AA. After a slow start in their first tournament, they have rattled off 17 in a row without Cole Spicer who was eligible to play for them again this year.  Their actual record is 17-2-1 but MN rankings don’t include games in Canada.

Any one know if we are pursuing Matias Maccelli,  have a realistic shot at him? He's having a heck of a season in USHL.

Not sure, but they could put him on a line with Michael Mancinelli, and they could be the M&M line.

And there’s Matias Mantykivi from Finland to center them.  Definitely a tongue twister line!
