Vic,

Did Kielly progress that much this year in the USHL or was he hurt early in the year? It certainly looks like we have our #1 for next year.

I have no idea. He certainly came on strong by the end of the year and in the playoffs.

Got a subscription to this college hockey recruiting website just to see how it is, pretty good info on recruits and gives some scouting reports on players, Clarkson has the 13th best recruiting class according to this site and is 2nd in the ECAC behind Harvard (7th) it's best two recruits are obvious in Jake Kielly and Sheldon Rempal, Kielly has 4 1/3 stars out of 5, Rempal has 4 2/3 out of 5.

Jake Kielly - Considered by many of our scouts as one of the top rookie goalies in the league, Kielly has taken an unorthodox route to his college choice, Clarkson. He started out playing in Minnesota HS at Eden Prarie, then moved on to midget hockey in Michigan to play for a strong Victory Honda team. After a one year stint in Michigan he began his junior hockey career in Austin (NAHL) where he led the Bruins to a runner up finish in the Robertson Cup. He then made the move to the USHL where he has flourished with Tri City located in Nebraska. He's got great size and athleticism, a calm, mature presense who stays square to the shooter. He moves well post to post and has a good glove hand both in catching the puck and covering it up in the crease. He'll continue to improve with more experience and has the upside to be a starting goalie at the next level.

Nico Sturm - A big bodied power forward who physically imposes his will below the dots, protects the puck well in tight spaces and plays a complete game. He's a three zone player, responsible, quick on draws and plays a heavy game. The German prospect is in his second season in North America but his first in the USHL.

Just a note on the others: Sturm is a 4*, Brosseau 4*, Egle 4*, Astren 3 2/3*, Schneider 3 2/3*, Moro 3 1/3*, Ford 2 2/3*, obviously these mean nothing for right now and I'm sure a lot of these kids have had limited viewings but it's the only site dedicated to a ranking system that I know of.

Pearson kid who committed to Maine (used to play for Cornwall Colts), McCarthy to Denver, kid was from QC, Kawaguchi to Providence amongst others, Colton Kehler is a tough loss too, now times are changing and kids don't want to pay to play/they can't pay to play, the BCHL is still free to my knowledge, kids from ON and QC now are going out to BC instead of the OJHL/CCHL because it's free yes but it's better hockey. The Sheldon Rempal/Devin Brosseau situation puzzled me, Brosseau was hurt a lot of the year and maybe wasn't ready but Rempal is just what we need a righty shot who can score. Bottom line is Clarkson isn't what it once was and its hard to find people who want to buy into a defensive system besides D and we recruit those in bunches, one thing I will note is I'm worried about Brett Garvey, his play seems to have really taken a hit and his potential that people were high on seems to be gone but Aaron Thow should be great and Amorosa should take strides but I'm pretty certain Tansey is gone and it will be tough to replace his impact obviously. Who knows what happens with that roster spot so late but I'm sure Kevin notified the staff or at least I hope so.

Since you mentioned this a while back, I have been following Kawaguchi. He de-committed from Providence and then he committed to Denver and now I noticed on heisenberg's list that he is uncommitted once again. I wonder if we are still interested in him and why others are no longer interested in him.....hmmm.
