I noticed on a link in a post by turk on the last thread that Herrman won a community service award. Bendorf won his team and league award for service also. At least we will have competition for something in the future.

Would it work with Burke or any other big guy we could find? Probably not (as I said, the game has changed and Esposito/Kerr were unique talents even if they weren’t particularly great athletes) but when I remember the teams of my youth picking up lots of “cheap”, defense demoralizing goals, I understand why a desperate Seth gave it a shot.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2018-19
Tuesday’s game
Babichuk schedule http://www.ajhl.ca/schedule/schedule__results.html
I will post the summary whenever. Going by last season, the AJHL did not post box scores for preseason games, only the final scores. There will probably be tweets which I will eventually post if relevant.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2018-19
As expected, the AJHL is only posting scores for preseason games. (See link in the previous post.) Spruce Grove did not tweet its lineup, although Grande Prairie did tweet theirs. Also no assists or penalties were tweeted by the SGS.
The Saints take their pre-season opener 4-2 over the @GPStorm !Shots 42-20 in favour of the Saints! Goal scorers were Nick Leyer (2), Brett Trentham, and Carter Myrol. Riley Nowoczin and Matt Davis split the win in net each allowing a goal.

Originally posted by DrDemento View PostAgree in many ways but I seem to post the following every year before the season starts - "You cannot teach size" Size alone is rarely if ever enough. But as all RPI graduates remember, Newton's Third Law still holds true. In a collision that is unavoidable, i would rather be in a Lincoln Navigator that a Toyota Prius. There is however the possibility that a boy can play bigger than his listed size (and numerous examples that we all have seen of boys who just do not play up to their given size).
These kids go to college because there's the built-in time to bulk up, something which you don't get in the aggressive juniors schedule. Look at a kid like Rabbani, who was only 5'10, but the muscle and bulk stoked fear in the opposition (IIRC one Sioux player can attest). Sure, height makes the bulk easier, but when you have that low center of gravity, you really become an immovable force. When strength is fairly close then leverage becomes much more important, and if Coach Smith is going for those sorts of bruisers, I'm perfectly fine with it.

Re: RPI Recruit Thread 2018-19
I might as well post this highlight video for yesterday's Spruce Grove game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeYr9TeML6k. Babichuk isn't mentioned; there are no name plates on their uniforms; and I don't know CB's number; so I am better off not guessing which, if any, is CB.Last edited by Ralph Baer; 08-29-2018, 01:56 PM.

It's good to see that he was one of the first to be profiled and was given a low number. That indicates to me that they expect him to be a key player.

I will post the summary whenever. As on Tuesday, only the final score will most likely be posted by the AJH:. There will probably be tweets which I will eventually post if relevant.
