Need some kind of news today. Don’t care if it’s for this year or the future, just want something

August 1 news is for the future the vast majority of the time. More likely to get finalized roster news on some random day like August 6.

Just 4 of the 11 commits today are 2009s. The rest are 2008s. Apparently, it's common practice for many New England kids to repeat a grade when move from public/normal private HS to prep schools. So a lot the normal bday 2008s from New England aren't graduating HS until 2027, hence why they were only able to start committing today.

Only 1 NTDP commitment so far from the 2009s, pretty surprising ngl.

Well the one that I am familiar with is just starting to take visits…I’m guessing there’s a decent more like him

Kinda BS you can't take official visits before the commitment window opens up, at least IMHO.

Without that time/age limit, this would be future recruiting visits.

I meant that guys should be able to go on official visits on January 1 of their sophomore year in HS, which is currently the day that coaches can officially contact them

Just checked: we had 5 NTDP 2008s commit on August 1 last year: Mutryn, George, Kemps, Trottier, and Schairer

Oliver McKinney to Michigan (not too much of a surprise considering his older brother is going there)


Commitments are still slowly trickling out so holding out hope for a later bat signal today.

Program and first round junior guys are unlikely to commit day 1. 

Well now you tell us.  ;)  

Cmon Bryn, work your magic on DuPont:

Some thoughts from Canada's Hlinka training camp on a couple commits and possible recruits: 

https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/top-10-standouts-from-canadas-2025-hlinka-gretzky-cup-training-camp

Quote

#18 Cooper Williams, LW: Williams made a huge first impression, scoring twice in the opening game with two identically impressive shot releases. The Saskatoon Blades forward did a great job of getting himself into scoring lanes, and it didn’t seem to matter who he played with, either. This was my first time watching him and I liked how often he was involved around the net.

Quote

#3 Keaton Verhoeff, D: Verhoeff took a penalty in the second game that can only be described as “being bigger than the guy he hit.” He’s a towering presence, and attackers had difficulty trying to beat him in 1-on-1 situations. I like the way he moves and the way he makes decisions under pressure. I’ve seen him play better, but for summer hockey, he already looked a step ahead of most defenders.

Quote

#5 Landon Dupont, D (2027 NHL Draft): Not only was DuPont one of the most noticeable players on the ice, but he was also one of the fastest. We know Dupont can exploit open ice with his great edge work and top speed, but he already looks faster and more engaged. His creativity is incredible and he knows exactly when to rush into the offensive zone and when to be a bit more reserved. DuPont is going to annihilate players on the power play one day.

Other than Scantlebury, not much action for the big boys/big gets so far.
Not nearly as fun as I was hoping today would be.  ;) :D 

I actually like Cover a ton
