Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2015-16 Part III

Nice article about Jon Bendorf in the NY Hockey Journal http://digital.nyhockeyjournal.com/n...tid=cover1#/42. See pages 24 and 25.

....cut & pasted it but of course RB’s got it already I’ll have to go over to the Hockey Giant Store on Wolf Rd. & get a free copy now.

2016 USA Hockey Select 17 Player Development Camp Rankings; 19. Jonathan Bendorf, Gray #12, Left Shot, 5'10"/202, Yardville, NJ, Wichita Falls Wildcats (Rensselaer) -€” His skating needs work, but he's a fun player to watch. He's strong and rugged and goes into the dirty areas. He wins a lot of battles along the walls and behind the goal line because of his strength and compete. He showed off an offensive touch with a good look to Matt Cassidy on an odd man rush earlier in the week. He has a knack for being around the puck and having an impact despite the awkward stride......http://www.sbncollegehockey.com/coll...aft-amherst-ny

Not a bad ranking at all considering the number of players there. (IIRC 10 teams of about 12 forwards each.)


Edit: 5'10", 202lb?

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2015-16 Part III

I received word from a reliable source that Jon Bendorf has been released by the Madison Capitols. He could be picked up by another USHL team, but will probably go to Wichita Falls (NAHL).

WF's main camp is 7/28-31.

After being named the NAHL Coach of the Year, Wichita Falls HC John Lafontaine has accepted the HC job with Muskegon in the USHL..... http://nahl.com/news/story.cfm?id=18322

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2015-16 Part III

From the RPI directory:

Name: Maximilian Reisinger
Class: First-Year Student
Curriculum: Biochemistry and Biophysics

First non-business-and-management major this year. That leaves Perry as the only incoming player not in the directory.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2015-16 Part III

It's official -- no surprises http://www.rpiathletics.com/news/201...r-2016-17.aspx (unless you count the spelling of Mississauga, random height/weight changes, and that they did not include Reisinger's stats before he was traded).

TROY, N.Y. - The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) men's hockey team will add four forwards, three defensemen and a goaltender to the roster for the 2016-17 season, head coach Seth Appert has announced. Five are from the United States, two are from Canada and one is from Austria.

"I am excited to welcome the Class of 2020 to the RPI Hockey Family," said Appert. "This is a class that will help us in every position and in many different ways. They add skill level, passion and competitiveness to a talented group of returning players to make up the 2016-17 Engineers. Bryan Vines and Nolan Graham have done a first class job in bringing in a nationally competitive class which includes two NHL draft picks, 23 combined years of junior hockey experience and players from three different countries."

Below is the list of Rensselaer's recruits with their 2015-16 statistics and a quote from Appert:

Forwards

Todd Burgess (6'2, 185)
Center/Right Wing from Phoenix, Ariz. / Fairbanks (NAHL)
60 GP: 38 goals – 57 assists – 95 points
"Todd is a very talented power forward. He has a strong mix of vision and goal scoring ability. He made great strides in Fairbanks this past season as captain while leading the league in scoring and leading his team to a NAHL National Championship. Burgess is a NHL draft pick of the Ottawa Senators."

Jacob Hayhurst (5'9, 170)
Center/Left Wing from Missassauga, Ont. / Cedar Rapids (USHL)
52 GP: 8 goals – 17 assists – 25 points
"Jacob is a skilled and competitive player who seems to be at his best in big games and in the playoffs. He is extremely good in small areas and has a high willingness to go to the net and make plays in traffic. He has been a great playoff performer and helped the Lakeshore Patriots to the RBC Cup with current Engineers defenseman Mike Prapavessis."

Patrick Polino (5'9, 175)
Center/Left Wing from Buffalo, N.Y. / Lincoln (USHL)
39 GP: 13 goals – 16 assists – 29 points
"Patrick is a talented and tenacious player who will fit in well with how we want to play at RPI. He brings a wealth of experience from the USHL with over 200 games played and over 100 career points. He has proven himself as a leader and producer in the most demanding junior league in North America."

Maximilian Reisinger (6'0, 190)
Center/Left Wing from Walding, Austria / Minot (NAHL)
26 GP: 10 goals – 14 assists – 24 points
"Max is a strong power forward with a proven scoring touch. He has been a very successful two-way player in the NAHL and has also been a top line player for the Austrian National World Junior Team."

Defense

Charlie Manley (5'11, 190)
Left Defense from Orchard Park, N.Y. / Estevan (SJHL)
53 GP: 2 goals – 18 assists – 20 points
"Charlie is an elite skating defenseman, who is difficult to play against. His mobility and skating ability allow him to eliminate time and space from opponents and transition to offense. He had a very successful two-year stay in Estevan becoming an assistant captain this past season."

Will Reilly (6'2, 190)
Right Defense from Toronto, Ont. / Nanaimo (BCHL)
52 GP: 9 goals – 23 assists – 32 points
