Prospective Recruits

Highly doubt he plays at UND.  Minnesota or Notre Dame with his brother would be my guess.

The USA U18 team lost in the championship game today, 6-4, to Sweden...despite outshooting Sweden 51-15. 

That USA team was loaded.  But they couldn't overcome Sweden scoring on almost half their shots.

At least they didn't lose to Canada.

I watched the game. USA goalie let in 3 very very soft goals- and I thought should have been pulled then. 
Likely win if he had been in the game. Feel for rest of the team.

It still seems odd looking at USHL draft results and having none of them committed to a college.

Looks like we’re in on waterloos tender from earlier today…Matthew frost.

Chyzyk and Smaby will guide him our way, hopefully.

Interesting that the USHL draft is picking guys already on AJHL teams ...

This has been happening for years.

Curious that it's not considered poaching or tampering.

Sioux City just drafted Cole Spicer in the 8th round (pick 121) of phase II … worth a shot I guess ..

I guess I don’t see why it would be. They aren’t governed under the same governing body (USA Hockey vs Hockey Canada), and it seems there is no agreement in place about this. It just gives kids options.

And former US NTDP guy Ryan St Louis (presently at Northeastern U) got selected in the first round! 

Why am I snickering? 

Oh, now I remember why ... this!

Stats for comparison:
St Louis https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=228230 
Spicer https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=238292 

Ryan St Louis "is" Cole Spicer plus one year of age to the day (meaning height, weight, stats) and St Louis is going from college to the USHL.

If there's no agreements, laisse faire. < shrug >

Kind of like how the CHL tries to poach players from college hockey, and some of their methods are far from upfront.

Tyson Dyck drafted in the 11th round.  I assume Youngstown figured that was worth a shot, especially if he chooses a college sometime soon.

So you're saying we're into "Bradshaw to Harris ... incomplete ... no, wait, TD Steelers!" (against the Raiders) time? 

 

We'll draw out the "olds" with that reference, won't we.

Got me thinking back on it.  And trying to recall who the pass was intended for.

Immaculate reception- Fuqua was the intended receiver. Ball bounced off of Jack Tatum

Yup. That's exactly what some of these late picks are hoping for -> a late shocking catch.

Tyson Dyck up to 110 in final scouting ranking. Any other uncommitted prospects ranked?

So if he is being recruited by UND and decides he wants to come this year, we should meet his demands being that he is projected higher than Spicer!
