2023 U Sports Recruiting

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Good question. Can you work on that for us, please?

I used to create a spreadsheet with that years overagers + stats + who they had committed to….but didn’t have the time or ambition this year.

Long time reader, first time poster. Here are a few of the better OHL names that I think haven't signed for the upcoming year.

James Hardie- Mississauga-LW
Nick DeGrazia- Sudbury-C
Mitchell Smith- Saginaw- D
Jake Murray- Guelph-D

For UNB fans, Hardie would be closest to being able to replace Pinard. He's averaged 37 goals over the last three seasons.

Hardie echl
Murray echl
DeGrazia pro rumours
Smith no clue

UNB REDS are naming centre Sean McGurn and defenceman Sam McGinley as the first members of their recruiting class of 2023

Most of that list are newly NHL signed players.

Most of that list are newly NHL signed players.

That is a list of the OA's from last season. Someone asked if there was a list of best available OA's, so the "easiest" thing to do was list all the 20 yr olds from last year. Then people can delete all the committed CIS guys and figure out who may be available.

Jesse Fishman (F, Guelph, OHL) to Waterloo - another 2003 who wanted to get school started.

Laurier announces eleven (11!) recruits.
Championship pedigree highlights versatile men's hockey recruiting class - Laurier Athletics - Waterloo Campus

Callum Chisholm - LHD/LW – Barrie Colts
Jadon Reimer - LHD – Campbellton Tigers, MJAHL
Lucas Robinson - RHD – Trenton Golden Hawks, OJHL
Isaac Sooklal - RHD – Haliburton County Huskies, OJHL
Robbie Strachan - LHD – Collingwood Blues, OJHL
Thomas Lenart - C – Burlington Cougars, OJHL

Myles Perry - RW – Milton Menace, OJHL
Eli Reimer - C/LW – Campbellton Tigers, MJAHL
Bryce Sutherland - C/RW – Collingwood Blues, OJHL
Sam Williamson - LW – Trenton Golden Hawks, OJHL

Waterloo will have 11 new recruits as well, although they are losing fewer players than Laurier. I'd expect lots of competition for ice time at Warriors camp this year.

Jesse Fishman (F, Guelph, OHL) to Waterloo - another 2003 who wanted to get school started.

Robinson - 14 points in 66 games, -14 +/-.
Fishman - 9 points in 57 games. -22 +/-.

Maybe these guys were told to turn 20 yrs old somewhere else.

In March I was 95% sure Peter Reynolds’s would be at UNB this year but from what I’ve heard I think it’s much more likely he goes back to junior .

100% lay that to rest, on SJ training camp roster

 

[AUS Fan]

Good for him. He wasn't at their Development Camp. Possible AHL deal?

I'm sure that is the case, with highly competitive OA spots in major junior. But usually, "somewhere else" is tier-2 Jr A for a year, then school.

Waterloo has done this in the past a few times (Adam Bignell, Julian Sime, and the two guys this year). I don't look at birthdates of other rosters enough to know if this happens more often than I think. Experts of the thread - what say you?

Brady Gilmour is the only UNB player in recent memory that I can remember coming in early.

I saw that on Twitter the other day. Interesting to see a Russian guy come over to play CIS.

Looks like he's an 04 birth year rare to see a 19 year old play cis if that's the case?
