  • Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2012-13 (Part II)

    Someone whom I met while waiting to get into the HFH in October claimed there was going to be rule not allowing players to play junior hcokey more than one year after their class graduated HS. I don't see anything about that.

      I've only seen laptops in the crowd at HFH a couple times. At least one was actually doing homework during the intermission.

      One thing that also helps is that, when you're recruiting players, you're less likely to pay attention to the puck and more attention to the man. I know when I was at the Lincoln game, I did pay more attention to Wood, DeVito, and Bourbonnais than the puck. Obviously if you're not behind the net (like where I was), you want to keep an eye on the puck. I've learned this the hard way.

        Mental age or actual age?

          It is good to see that coaches now have a fighting chance against Major Junior, especially considering that's the type of players that Coach Appert has been recruiting.
          It should help but IMO only a little.

            Any leverage that the coaches have is better than what they had previously.

            I do wonder, though, if we'll end up not even seeing assistants at some of the games because they'll both be out recruiting.

              I won't comment here further as it's getting off topic.

                At times, but that could have been the case before. Two were allowed to be out before. What this will allow is everyone to be out during breaks.

                  According to the article, it said only one was allowed to be out at a time. Hence the "baton rule" nickname.

                    I really should have read the article again. It was linked on eLynah a few days ago and I read it and the NCAA article then, and of course I didn't remember it correctly.

                      Ah ha! Here is the USCHO article:

                      It also removed the rule that limited college hockey teams schools to two coaches recruiting off campus at a time.
                      Perhaps the head coach and one assistant were allowed out, but not two assistants, nott aht that makes much sense. Whatever!?! The important part is that our travel budget will have to increase.

                        Always nice to have conflicting articles.

                        The good news is that they'll also be able to talk more than a couple times a year after the junior year.

                            That would be a sure-fire way to ensure a player goes to MJ.

                              It would certainly hurt, but most of the real good ones go to college immediately after HS or after one more year in juniors, and those are the ones who the biggest battles are fought over.
