2023 U Sports Recruiting

[AUC Regular]

Brett Mirwald (Vancouver, WHL) and Michael Simpson (London, OHL) are the two biggest names left.

F - Zacharie Giroux (Sudbury, OHL) to Ottawa

Simpson signed with Belleville in the AHL a couple of weeks ago. Your correct, Mirwald is not official, but hockeyinsiderusports had him committed to a school out west as far back as March or April. He's usually pretty accurate.

Ahh yes, forgot about the Mirwald rumour…I was thinking Palmer, who I believe has committed to Alberta. So yeah, pickings are slim now.

Drew Elliott is now UNB-official.
REDS add forward Elliott

 

[MiamiHockeyII]

Joachim Matulu, Amherst (MJAHL), RMC

joins his younger brother, Noah Matulu, Edmundston (MJAHL) at RMC.

RMC with a distinct small-town Maritime flair adding Bradley Blake from Georges Point NL, Cole Foston from Beaver Bank NS, and the Matulu brothers from Shediac NB.

They will be joining returning Maritimers Dell Welton (Baddeck NS), Brent Broaders (Tilting NL), Ben Lightbody (Fredericton NB) and Joe Chambers (Dartmouth NS) in the RMC Maritime Wing.

Looks like Peds is back behind the bench...

Interesting! Was that the plan all along. He is still listed with CBJ.

Unless it's just a boilerplate posting by SFX Athletics.

Goaltender Patrick Leaver, Saint John Sea Dogs to SFX

 

[AUS Fan]

Cole Huckins, Charlottetown Islanders rumored to UNB.

 

[AUS Fan]

More SFX recruits announced:

Owain Johnston, Erie Otters

Simon Motew, Kitchener Rangers

Ryan Struthers, Windsor Spitfires

One of my 3 rumored guys announced.

 

[AUC Regular]

Aus Fan, we will give you credit for Leaver as well! You called that one in March. X has done a good job re-tooling their defense over the last 2 years. The two names missing are are really big omissions. They may resurface later.

 

[AUS Fan]

Ethan Burroughs committed to SFX.
2 of 3 confirmed. Waiting on Jacob Maillet.

Edit: Jacob Maillet commits to SFX. The trifecta is complete.

Talked to Brad during our playoff round last year, he had told us back then that he would be back on the bench this year.

 

[AUS Fan]

Cole Stewart, transfer from Nipissing to SFX. He bounced around the Q and MHL and did 3 years at Nipissing. His PiMs were higher than his point total most years.

 

[AUS Fan]

Add 2 more to SFX:

Colby Saganiuk, Sioux City (posted 2 weeks ago) and Alex Christopolous, Saginaw Spirit.

By my math, that's 9 recruits to SFX.

 

[FreddyFoyle]

More SFX recruits announced:

Owain Johnston, Erie Otters

Simon Motew, Kitchener Rangers

Ryan Struthers, Windsor Spitfires

One of my 3 rumored guys announced.

What is the probability that Ryan is Matt Struthers' brother. They're both from Milton.

Cole Huckins, Charlottetown Islanders rumored to UNB.

Would make sense. He's from Freddy.

I thought that also on Struthers, but Elite Prospects has Matt born in London. Just did a Google (which I should have done yesterday) and found an article from Ice Dogs where they mentioned Ryan and his brother, Matt. So, there you have it.

 

[Drummer]

Ben Lightbody (Fredericton NB)

Cole Huckins, Charlottetown Islanders rumored to UNB.

Sons of Former STU Tommies I believe - interesting.

Quade Lightbody (98-01) and Phil Huckins (86/87 & 88/89)

X-Men Hockey announce 10 new recruits for upcoming 2024-25 season

STFX men’s hockey head coach Brad Peddle is pleased to announce the addition of 10 new recruits to the X-Men line-up for the 2024-25 season.

goxgo.ca

10 new recruits to be exact.

Certainly seems like a rebuilding year for the X-Men. Some nice recruits in there but hard to see how they are better than last year after losing over 60% of their offence this summer. They didn’t add a single impact forward over the previous two years to supplement that really good 2021 group of Hawel/Struthers/Hudson/Nelson/Phillip/Trott and I think it caught up to them this year with losing so many of their top scorers all at once.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

I’m curious to see what SMU does…their whole team is in their 3rd year of eligibility or younger. I know they lost MacPherson, but anyone else?

I think we can all agree they are more talented than their results last season indicated, so if they can add a few impact guys I think they will be a legit University Cup contender.

Flower went to Europe. They haven't added any impact guys.

Rumors of SMU getting some big help via transfer.
