UML Recruiting, 2017+

Re: UML Recruiting, 2017+

With a large influx of commitments over the past couple of weeks, I figured I'd update my post.

Making some guesses here on when a couple of the kids are going to come in. I'm listing the next three seasons worth of rosters... and assuming everyone that's currently on the roster with eligibility will come back (and that's probably not going to happen). Currently if everyone comes in for '17 that's going to be turning 20 this year ... that leaves us at 32. I'm sure one of the 4 netminders will leave, I'm guessing there's a couple of other underclassmen that aren't seeing playing time that will also leave at some point. Natural attrition is normal.

17/18 roster
Defense (9):
Senior: Chris Forney, Tyler Mueller, Tommy Panico
Juniors: Avni Berisha, Niklas Folin
Sophomore: Mattias Goransson
Freshmen: Anthony Baxter, Croix Evingson, Cale List

Forwards (19):
Seniors: Ryan Collins, John Edwardh, Jake Kamrass, CJ Smith
Juniors: Keith Burchett, Ryan Dmowski, Nick Master, Connor Wilson
Sophomores: Kenny Hausinger, Guillaume LeClerc, Ryan Lohin, Colin O’Neill, James Winkler, Nicholas Marin
Freshmen: Cole Paskus, Chris Schutz, Connor Sodergren, Reid Stefanson, Eric Zohovs

Goalies (4):
Seniors:
Junior: Sean Cleary, Chris Hernberg
Sophomore: Garrett Metcalf, Tyler Wall

Nice job Monty!

I believe Burchett will be a junior next season. It looks like he played two seasons at Amherst.

And based upon those numbers at Amherst, he'll hopefully be transformed at Lowell like Boyle was and improve dramatically.

Thanks Bob, I've corrected my post.

Heisenberg has McDonald as '18 (as do I) and Sterrett as '18 or '19 (I have him as of now for '19). I did ask Jeff Cox about this, and he mentioned '19 as well, unless he has a really good year next year in the USHL or the NAHL.

Fargo press release on McDonald

Also, noticed this tweet from Mark Divver, "Hearing Boston 2016 5th rounder Joona Koppanen still undecided on NCAA route or turning pro in Finland. ECAC/HE schools interested"

I'm interested to see where Koppanen ends up going. Mark reported last summer that Norm visited the Bruins rookie camp, as did coaches from PC, QU & NU. He said BC,BU and UNH were interested as well. Obviously a long shot for Lowell. I could see him turning pro as I think he's having a better than expected season in Finland.

Well, if BC is interested in him, they might have gotten a leg up, getting one of his countrymen to commit.

@russbites
BC continues w/ Finnish flav as Aapeli Rasanen '98 (SC) commits. Decent size, 2-way fwd, w/ hockey IQ, competes. EDM '16 6th rder, WJC.

Recruiting rankings for this year's freshmen class.

Gorannson, Lohin and Wall all included, and Lowell's class winds up ranked.

Recruit Eriks Zohovs returned to lineup last night for the first time since the end of November.

After missing three months with an injury, Mudbugs forward Eriks Zohovs returned to action Friday. Zohovs led the NAHL in scoring (12 goals, 30 points) in just 19 games before injury.

Re: UML Recruiting, 2017+

Evaluations of Eriks Zohovs and Croix Evingson from the NAHL prospect tournament. They were graded as A prospects based on their play in the two game tournament.

Eriks Zohovs (F, 6’1”, 175lbs, Shreveport, 1997)-“Quick” was written next to his name in our notes six times in two games. He was quick to pucks. He was quick on the rush as he pushed defenders into bad gaps. The 1997 was quick into seams and can turn on a dime. He showed off a quick, hard shot and competed hard. College: UMass-Lowell

Croix Evingson (D, 6’5”, 210lbs, Shreveport, 1997)-Croix has improved his skating and is smooth and pivots well. He is a productive passer at 6’5” and dominated shifts here. He has a unique set of talents and lots of upside still as a 1997. College: UMass-Lowell

@MarkDivver
Cam Hillis, 2000-born scoring C from Ontario, commits to Providence College. Nice get for Friars. Guelph's 2nd rounder in '16 OHL draft.

Great to hear the positive evaluation on Zohovs after having missed all that time with injury. These two sound like exciting players.
