Re: UAH Hockey 2014-15: The 30th Varsity Season
Here's an update on our recruits' seasons thus far:
1. Austin Beaulieu Wichita Falls (NAHL) 5 gp 1-2-3
2. Cam Knight Wichita Falls (NAHL) 5 gp 1-4-5
3. Joey Marooney Sioux Falls (USHL) 4 gp 2-0-2 (preseason games)
4. Teddy Rotenberger Topeka (NAHL) 4 gp 0-1-1
5. Robets Smits Bloomington (USHL) 3 gp 0-0-0 (preseason games)
6. Connor Wood Amarillo (NAHL) 4 gp 0-2-2
2016-2017
1. Ivan Bondarenko Wenatchee (NAHL) 3 GP 1-0-1
I'm extremely encouraged by Cam Knight's numbers. Surprised he didn't catch on with a USHL team considering he had a strong year with Lawrence in the prep ranks. Joey Marooney's numbers are also encouraging despite being preseason games. Scoring in the USHL is no easy task. Got to wonder if some of these guys, like Rotenberger and Wood, may need an extra year of juniors to get bigger, stronger, and just more mature in their games before they play in the WCHA. I guess it will all depend on how they do this year.
Possible Targets:
1. Nathan Krusko MN Magicians (NAHL) 4 gp 3-2-5. A '96 from Atlanta and played on the same TPH team as Beaulieu, Rotenberger, and Wood last year. Similar in stature to both Wood and Beaulieu, he put up good numbers in the top youth ring in the U.S. Can score and dish with the best of em in his age group. Another possible add to our TPH-UAH pipeline.
2. Josh Wilkins Austin Bruins (NAHL) 4 gp 1-4-5. A '97 from North Carolina, also played for TPH last year, albeit on the U16 National Team. Led the team in scoring. On Sioux City's (USHL) affiliate list. Strong skater and a big time playmaker. Hope we're taking a look at him.
I want us to get the best of the best in the South early. If we do, maybe we can fend off some of these Northern suitors. Let me know what y'all think.

I agree with you about Smits.
