2018 USport Off-Season Recruiting

[Rob]

I don't plan on going to Lethbridge next year. 1st time since 2001 that I'll miss the show.

Wow. That was quite the impressive streak.

I won't be going either. If there was only four teams playing on Saturday an Sunday I would be far more likely to go. Eight teams over 4 days is a bigger commitment

geez AUS, we never missed one in the Atlantic, heck had a few cool ones even in Lake Head! LA is a pretty good place in March. Mid 20s for temperature then. final four will still be great hockey. Looks like St Mary's might be better this year as well. Going to the MEM cup will be like giving in buddy!!

Yeah, you're right. I'll reconsider...And who woulda thunk that 10 years after watching that Mem Cup, I'd be reviewing video with Mike Danton at SMU.

Here’s a really good site showing each NHL team’s prospect camp roster.

There are still a number of teams who have yet to announce their roster, but of the ones who have there are some current and former USports players/recruits sprinkled in the mix.

What’s going on with Luke Kirwan at UPEI? Is he injured? I don’t think he’s played a conference game yet.

 

[hockeyinsiderusports]

From my understanding he wasn’t eligible till second semester- Kirwan

Jordy Stallard F ex Prince Albert Raider and echl Allen & Indy to Acadia

Jordy Stallard F ex Prince Albert Raider and echl Allen & Indy to Acadia

Big get for Acadia given his 44 goals and 91 points in the WHL last season.

There was some thought back in the summer that there might be a lot of WHLers available over Christmas since so many good overagers opted to try pro....this may be the case.

 

[hockeyinsiderusports]

I expect Justin Lemcke going to school as he just left Cincinnati. Lemcke looks like he will go Guelph

Two big recruits for Acadia, which has had a poor first half. This should inject some life into the offence, as Stallard is a former 44 goal scorer in the Dub. I would think that he is going to get lots of pp time.
Tate Olsen is a big body with an offensive upside, should also see lots of action on the pp.
Acadia has had a big turnover, but these two recruits are a positive step for a team that will be hosting Nationals next year.

According to the ECHL transaction site, Dec 18.
Jeremy Brodeur has been released by the Allen Americans.
He has used up 2 years of U sport eligibility. If I'm correct, he would need to sit until the second half of next season. Played 2017-18 and first half of 2018-19, in the coast.

 

[AUS Fan]

That sounds correct. The standard is 1 year after your last game as a Pro.

He has since been claimed off waivers by Norfolk, ECHL . I assume he will stay in the Coast?

 

[hockeyinsiderusports]

Highly doubt you’ll see Jeremy in Usports

 

[hockeyinsiderusports]

Ryan Valentini - Guelph
Tyler Soy - Alberta
Chase Stewart - Lakehead

 

[Rob]

With the addition of Tyler Soy I have to see them as being favourites. That team is just so stacked right now.

Good pickup for Da Bears

 

[hockeyinsiderusports]

Mario Culina is heading back to school. I expect him to land at Laurier or in AUS
