I missed a guy and a possible for SMU - Ben West (G) Barrie Colts has committed and Dixon Grimes (G) GOJHL is rumored. Looks like both Welsh and Helvig are gone.....

Edit: was talking to a SMU guy tonight and Grimes is going there. Forgot to mention that he is the son of Jake Grimes who was at DAL 4 years as Assistant Coach.

Mount Royal have LOI from:

G - Harmon Laser-Hume
D - Leith Olafson
F - Jayden Wiens


There hasn't been too much out of CW yet. I'm curious who Calgary, Alberta, and UBC have brought in this summer.

UNB is likely in the market for a goaltender. From the list I created, Michael Simpson looked to be the best, but has recently signed a 1-way with Belleville. Here is a list of the candidates I found. Riley Mercer, Austin Elliott and Jacob Oster have good stats.

Apologies' if some of these names have already been mentioned or signed somewhere.

Deni Goure, who had 96 points with Owen Sound last year, is off the board as he has signed with Calgary of the AHL.

From what I can tell, the highest scoring overagers remaining are:

Connor Roulette (WHL) - 108 points
Gabe Klassen (WHL) - 106 points
Trevor Wong (WHL) - 101 points
Justin Gill (QMJHL) - 98 points
Atlee Calvert (WHL) - 95 points
Israel Mianscum (QMJHL) - 87 points
Jack Beck (OHL) - 85 points
Sloan Stanick (WHL) - 84 points
Robert Orr (QMJHL) - 82 points
Kai Uchaacz (WHL) - 81 points

Still a lot of the highest scoring defencemen left:

Graham Sward (WHL) - 81 points
Hudson Thornton (WHL) - 74 points
Sam Sedley (OHL) - 63 points
Parker Berge (WHL) - 63 points
Jeremy Langlois (QMJHL) - 62 points
Marc Lajoie (WHL) - 58 points
Chas Sharpe (OHL) - 53 points
Samuel Mayer (OHL) - 53 points

I think fewer than that!
Atlee Calvert, Gabe Klassen and Jack Beck -Wilkes-Barre Penguins( AHL)
Justin Gill with Bridgeport ( AHL).
Israel Mianscum- Laval.
Mayer signed with Henderson (AHL)
Sharpe with the Marlies ( AHL).
Sward was at the Winnipeg Jets Development camp with newly recruited UNB forward Cole Huckins.

Based on production only, I think most of the remaining players on this list will sign some form of pro contract.

Geez…guess I haven’t been paying close enough attention. Thanks for the updates!

We are definitely in the market with Griffen Outhouse moving on to Europe this off-season. This recruiting season is definitely a different feel with Goalies than past. Over the past decade or so we seem to have been able to get a top goalie when needed. I hear Somers may be back for another year which would give us time to see if a goalie became available at Christmas. Interesting to see how this will play out.

As long as Richard stays healthy Somers would be a more than capable backup in my mind. Something must have changed because he had said he was going to work as a goalie coach in Miramichi and had a job lined up as a personal trainer . Definitely hope he is back and gets a chance to play , he’s a really good guy.

Could always postpone being an adult for one more year? Lol...I guess we will see what happens. I agree, Somers as a 3 for his time with the REDS could have been a top 2 guy on some teams in the AUS and I think more in the OUA. We have been so lucky to have strong goaltending for so long. Kyle MacDonald has been a big part of that here with Men's and Women's hockey at UNB. He has a bright future ahead!!

I can confirm that Somers will be back this year to do his masters and will be Richards back up!
