Maine Recruit Updates: All Are Welcome.......

[all bear]

Wow KU has been doing really well. I wonder if their coach would be interested in college hockey.

Ah no thanks. Timmay has discovered his niche

Any UPDATE's on Justin Rai? Heard Rai had a concussion during the season and was shut down.

Has he signed a Letter of Intent? If not......we might never see him in Orono. Maine hasn't had very good luck with players that have concussion issues. I was thinking that the commitment of Gibson might be a replacement for Rai.

Larry mentioned him in his article a week ago as being an impact recruit so I would assume the plan is for him to give it a shot. Hopefully it works out but I'm not overly optimistic.

Same here. He hasn't played since November. That would be almost a year out of hockey.

He isn't playing hockey from an article I saw a few weeks ago

Unfortunately, this isn't the first time that Rai has had concussion issues.......

And he did sign a Letter of Intent last November so Maine is on the hook for a full scholarship for the next 4 years whether he plays or not.

Athletic scholarships are for 1 year only. LOI are binding for the student only. Schools can pull scholarships at any time for any reason. Most schools would honor a player's scholarship if he was injured in team related activities or games, but for a concussion in Canadian Jr A, Maine wouldn't be on the hook for anything.

Pat Shea had his 2nd hat trick of the season as KU won the Lakes Region Tournament for the 2nd straight year. Kimball Union advanced to the Elite 8 New England Prep School Championship and as a #8 seed defeated #1 seed Exeter. KU is now in the semi-final against Salisbury.

IIRC the KUA tender is from Houlton....

Saw on twitter, Minnesota Magicians (NAHL) defenseman, Sam Becker has committed to Maine. Played HS at Hill-Murray in Minny.

8-38-46 in 53 games.... despite all those points, he's a -2 on the year.... 6', 175#.... 26 PIMs


Team is 4th in their division with a record of 20-34-4

Re: Maine Recruit Updates: All Are Welcome.......

Any chance Maine would like at Brian Billett for next year? He hasn't played in any games for BC this year so I'm assuming he would still have a year of eligibility left.

You would be correct. Payton Porter.
