I believe Waterloo has added another local product in former Belleville Bulls defenceman in Adam Bignell. Bignell is from Kitchener and wore the "C" in Belleville for part of the season after Brendan Gaunce was traded.
Confirmed: http://www.varsity.uwaterloo.ca/roster.aspx?rp_id=3226&path=mhockey
Also, another Belleville Bulls defenceman Mark Raycroft - University of Guelph
Former X-Men defenceman RD Chisholm in line-up for UNB tonight against St. Thomas....thought he had signed pro deal earlier this summer.
Interesting that he chose not to go back to X despite the fact they have a guaranteed spot in the Nationals.

A quick update on Jamie Wise:
After playing for the Blackhawks in the rookie tournament, Wise has signed 2-way AHL/ECHL deal with Chicago's affiliate, the Rockford Icehogs.

F - Zach Lorentz (Plymouth, OHL)
Earlier announced as attending Waterloo, he appears on Laurier's roster. He led the Plymouth Whalers in scoring with 54 points in 68 games.
Marcus Power has indeed landed in the AUS, joining the UPEI Panthers. Power had 109 points in the Q last year. He's expected to play Saturday night against UNB.
According to his twitter former Rouyn-Noranda forward Francis Beauviller has decided to forego the ECHL and will join the Varsity Reds. Big pick up for them!
Teams are not allowed to give "extra incentives"; it's against the rules.Well UQTR's coach Marc-Étienne Hubert wasn't happy with UNB picking up Beauvillier. Seems he was going the Patriotes' way until something derailed the whole thing and he's now accusing UNB of giving extra incentives to players and now talks about a possible CIS investigation.

He has gone to UNB to play for a National Championship and to watch the Saint John River freeze up. If there was a CIS investigation, which I doubt will happen, it would take forever and a day to complete.

sounds like just another recruit going to play on a winner
BUT
AUS fan, tell me how an athlete, now student-athlete can be accepted into an academic program on the 16th of October? In Manitoba the add/drop date (last day to add a class until term 2) is middle of September. if he was riding the fence between (UQTR and UNB) these schools was he an active student at both and then just dropped out of one and continued in another. But....what about....here the guy would be almost 7 weeks behind. Maybe the MBA program is a module program that you can start whenever as long as you complete it whenever.
I don't really care about the whining about incentives, however the academic process i thought is what kept the CIS somewhat respectable. Your thoughts?
