Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2014-15 Part II

I think it is going to get real interesting for who makes Cedar Rapids this upcoming year.

Possibly return 2 imports in Goalie Ben Blacker (Western Michigan) and forward Zach Court (UNO)

3 affiliates that are imports Tyler Jeanson (Colgate for '16) Cho and Hayhurst (RPI '16)

Cedar Rapids drafted 4 imports in the draft. Matt Baker (Dartmouth) David Jankowski (Brother to Mark Jankowski), Samuel Solensky (Projected to be drafted in '16 NHL draft) and Overager David Nemecek (Played for 2 CHL teams and has world Junior experience)

I really don't know how this is going to play out as you are only allowed 4 imports slots but should know more after camp June 4-7

Thanks. I noticed that CR drafted several additional imports.

Although from a development point of view it would be good for Cho and Hayhurst to play there and I am sure that Seth Appert is recommending it, I wonder if the players really want to go there. We will see what happens next month.

Is it possible that a dual nationality could be involved, or would they have already been noted as a domestic if that were the case?

IIRC, dual nationality would not count as an import. Also, if an import has played 3 yrs. in the US he no longer counts as an import. Herbie could answer that better than me though....or Yeti.

Ian Blacker?

Ian won't play in Cedar Rapids this year. Scheduled to play for Oakville of the OJHL.

I don't know own if any have dual citizenship or not. I will check into it.

Often the Elite Hockey Prospects site notes dual citizenship, although I suspect that they don't always know.

I was talking with Liljgren last week and he told me he’s pretty sure Emil would be playing Prep hockey this year in Minnesota, possibly @ Shattucks SM.

Almost has to be SSM.
