Re: Top Incoming Players, Freshman players to watch

Yes, by "Who are the best freshman players in the nation" we meant "Please list every single incoming freshamn Cornell has."

Ha - Cornell has 10 guys coming in this fall, and pfibiger only mentioned 9, so that shows what you know...

So here's to you, Kevin Cole: the unheralded Big Red Recruit of 2011. (now watch him go out and win the Hobey. 4 times.)

Not sure about the reliability of CollegeHockeySource.

Michigan State has a couple players to keep an eye on - Shattuck St. Mary's' (and Team USA) Tanner Sorenson and Muskegon's (USHL) Matt Berry, each a forward and each 2nd on team in points last season.

That site is way off on player rankings. Doubt they have seen many of the kids play.

I agree. It's not even worth considering. Waste of a click.

For real.
Of course that's Guelph. Of course shame on them for not saying whether major junior or university.

Not only in Guelph is it less important and more difficult to distinguish between major junior and university hockey.

actually it is very easy to distinguish. Major junior caliber play is on par with the NCAA, the CIS Hockey level of talent doesn't come close. Take a look at NCAA-CIS Exhibition games

Re: Top Incoming Players, Freshman players to watch

Jordan Ruby looks like he's set to continue a long tradition of outstanding goalies at RIT. Keep an eye on him for sure. Many people were impressed with Madolora's stats from last year... but Ruby could challenge for the starting job.

He didn't even win his league MVP....he lost to a lowly Division III goalie recruit who is going to....


you guessed it.
