Re: UNH Commits & Recruiting: 2017 and Beyond
Things change quickly in the hockey world! Perhaps UNH should get out and take a look at the new and improved Trenton Bliss. Four games into the 2017-18 USHL season (and 28 games into his USHL career), Bliss was sitting on career scoring line of 0-1--1. Wisconsin then backed out of their commitment. All Bliss has done since is put together a seven-game scoring streak totalling 5-8--13 to move into third-place in the USHL scoring race...
It may be a small sample size mirage. Or he may have simply struggled, last season, with the jump from WI HS hockey to the USHL and is now finding his natural skill-set in his second season. Either way, its certainly worth getting out to GB (where he is a teammate of Ryan Verrier) for UNH to find out if lightening can strike twice...

A PPG in the USHL is a big deal - since 2010 only Phil Desimone and Andrew Poturalski have accomplished the feat before arriving in Durham. Blake Kessel finished with 57 points in 59 games in his final USHL season. No one else has been particularly close...
Kelleher would have scored a PPG had he played for a USHL team instead of sharing the top-six spotlight with the USNTDP. Goumas would have, as well, if UNH didn't pounce on him as a last minute (and ahead of schedule) replacement for the Bourque, White, Reid debacle...
