The roster in the box score for the NJT was indeed shortened. Matt C did dress.

Noticed another former Alb. Acad. kid here. Nick Boyagian playing for NJT (SHU commit).

On Thursday, the Oakland Jr. Grizzlies U16 team defeated the Rocky Mountain RoughRiders U16 team 4-0. Austen Swankler scored 2 goals (1 PPG). http://naphl.com/game-center/game-summary?game_id=3632

Swankler's line is now 6-5-5-10-0.

I assume the goals weren’t all empty net and this will eventually be corrected.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2017-18

Wow. The knock on him, from the time he committed, was his skating. Was hoping he improved over the summer. Now, I don’t know if that’s why he was let go by Musky (& Tri-City) but I wouldn’t be surprised.

It probably is.

BTW, it's interesting that JB from NJ is playing on a PA team and Matt C from PA is playing on a NJ team in the same league.

Turk-we saw him a few years ago and he had all the tools to be a very good player except exactly as you mentioned. I have always felt skating to be the one most teachable skill so here's hoping.

Sioux City preview article http://www.ushl.com/news_article/sho...rer_id=1348814. Brady Ferner is listed as a Top Returner.

Ferner played in 51 games last season, scoring 10 PTS (2G, 8A) in those contests, in addition to 13 Clark Cup Playoffs games.

Randy Hernandez formerly of the USNTP plays for them. We once thought that we could get them since we had two other players/commits from Miami, but now we have neither. Also legacy Mathieu De St. Phalle, but he's committed to Wisconsin,

There certainly are positives Doc. By no means was Chase Polacek or Pirri considered elite skaters. Put the puck in the net & we’re all happy.

Agreed, but he didn't do that much last year,

That is the name of the game. We have not had a lot of finishers over the past decade but I can always hope. One thing about JB we did notice years ago that once he was able to establish his position, he was not easy to move off it. We will just have to wait a bit and see how that translates into Division I hockey.
