Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2018-19

None of Sunday's NJA 16U (Mike C) and 18U (Sarlo) box scores are yet up. Still also missing one for each team from Saturday. I will keep checking.

# Known to have signed National Letter of Intent
The years the men's recruits are listed as committed for are not necessarily accurate.
The dates on which some of the women are listed as committing on may be considerably after the actual dates.
I am assuming that Neutral Zone regards their Star ratings as public because they tweet them with committals.

“When I went on my visit, I knew right away that RPI would be a great fit for me,” he told MiHockey. “The campus and hockey facilities are first-class, and after meeting with the coaches I felt right at home. It is a tremendous opportunity to earn a strong education while playing for such a historic program in college hockey.”..... http://mihockey.com/2018/11/recruiti...ommits-to-rpi/

The years the men's recruits are listed as committed for are not necessarily accurate.
The dates on which some of the women are listed as committing on may be considerably after the actual dates.
I am assuming that Neutral Zone regards their Star ratings as public because they tweet them with committals.

Bruins’ pipeline with RPI grows

With Austin Bruins head coach Steve Howard being from Michigan, the team has a strong connection with that state.

The Bruins have eight Michigan natives on their roster. Another pipeline is growing just as large.

Bruins goalie Brett Miller announced his commitment to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) on Monday.

Miller becomes the second Bruin this season, and the third since 2017, to commit to RPI. He joins Dylan Davies, who made his commitment in October, and Jon Richards, who is preparing for his sophomore season. Richards recorded five assists in 18 games for the Engineers last season.

Miller entered Friday’s start in Minot as the NAHL leader in Goals Against Average. He allowed a season-high four goals in the 4-3 loss to the Toros. Miller has allowed eight goals in his last three starts, but still owns a 1.66 GAA, which is good for second in the league behind teammate Kyle McClellan.

FWIW, we had a forward named Brent Miller from Sioux St. Marie, ON, in the late 1970's. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/p....php?pid=15369
He mainly played on the JV team.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2018-19

Curious that we're recruiting another goaltender this early, especially given our tendency in the past to recruit two and have the third walk on as a practice goalie. Makes me wonder if there's apprehension about Savory? Or is this just Coach Smith's strategy to recruit in three goalies to be ready at any time?

My guess is that Miller is what the football programs call a recruited or priority walk-on. He was a middle of the road goalie in Junior B last season and is in his first year of Tier II at 19. That's probably a good enough track record to be a solid practice player and, who knows, he might surprise. In addition to their recruited scholarship players, football programs often bring in 5-10 players that were just below their scholarship cut-off as walk-ons in the hopes they'll add to competition in practice and 1 or 2 might even earn a scholarship in later years if they get playing tine.
