Being a commit doesn't necessarily show anything. If your parents are rich and you are a grade A student, I bet you can call Harvard and get a commitment! You will practice with the team, most likely sit out games but they will gladly take your money.
CJHL Prospects Game
Five CCHL players have been selected to represent Team East in the CJHL Prospects Game:
G Adrian Clark CP
D Ross Craig Cornwall
D Andrew Peski Brockville
F Mathieu Foget Gloucester
F Keegan Mulhearn Cornwall
Wonder if Clark will get to play this time around. Hasn't played a game since November.

Speaking of which, does anyone know what happened to Francois Lemmellin who committed to Harvard for this season. He is not on their roster, or any other that I can find.
From today's SJHL transactions page:
The Kindersley Klippers acquire 96 F Francois Lemelin from the Hawkesbury Hawks of the CCHL for future considerations.
He started the season in Minnesota (NAHL), played 1 game and was released. Not sure where he's been since.
Was always strong in minor hockey (always one of the bigger players). Has done absolutely nothing in junior.

Of course, just saying being committed is not necessarily an acknowledgement of hockey talent! Nor does it mean FULL SCHOLARSHIP!
Ha, what were the odds that the day I asked he gets traded.
So do you think he was "uncommitted" from Harvard, or just differed.
Deferred. He still appears on their list of recruits for 2015.

Ivy league schools don't give scholarships and nobody says any thing about a full scholarship. The kid committed. Good on him
Eddy is right. A lot of the lack of NCAA is due to academics. They don't have the right courses in school due to Quebec's different high school system. Look at Gadoury. Committed to Northeastern, but learned he didn't have the right courses to pass clearinghouse. Also a lot of guys just go to the Q aswell, and blow their eligibility.The pace of play is fairly similar to the CCHL. Just a different style.
Seriously Kanata....... HAWKINS needs to go....... The team is brutal. Not much a coaching staff can do with that talent.....

If you think it's Hawkins you are half right, but everything that happens with the Lasers goes through John Hill before it's finalized. If you are a fan of Kanata you can only hope they are stock piling Draft picks leaning towards next year and the year after to be competitive.
Hasn't proven enough in Junior. Mediocre at best in the CCHL. He is obviously a smart kid, but what he's shown on the ice isn't at the D1 level. You can't blame the kid for committing to Harvard, i think everyone in the league would take it if they could get it.
I was speaking with one of kanatas teams scouts and apparently the staff was seen fighting with management in the past few weeks. You can't help but feel bad for everyone involved but the two clowns running the program
No kidding. Everyone looking to hang Hawkins for what, inheriting a crappy team with little to no prospects.
They have sucked for years, thinking that a one season turn around was in the cards is crazy.
Yes they have sucked for years.. And no one expected them to turn around in a season. The problem is Hawkins and Hill haven't even brought in decent calibre players.... I know and understand that this year would have been a learning curve for all involved. Gotta start somewhere. Coaches are young and inexperienced, Management has no JR A experience.
I was talking with one of the scouts and they are signing players no one has even seen play. They talk to the players agent and that's it.... Neither Hawkins nor Hill even get opinions from scouts, coaches etc.
Very true. Look at what happens there, James now has a 10.37 GAA and .0667 save % in limited play. He'll surely do better, but it's awful for goalies in the Quebec league. 5.00 GAA suddenly looks good there. Luckily there are NO NCAA scouts watching there.
How do transactions get announced? Is there a page where its updated continually because the transaction link on CCHL website is not the best.
