RE: Official Hockey Recruiting Thread
Updated.
I'm hoping David Drew can get an insider's perspective on when these verbals will be signing and what year they will be coming to Kalamazoo.
For now, I'm going by Chris Heisenberg's list for anticipated arrival dates.
I am thinking about removing Colten Hayes, it appears he will no longer be making it to Kalamazoo. He is currently playing with the Stockton Thunder of the ECHL (same league as the K-Wings). I would assume that once you play in the ECHL, your NCAA eligibility is gone. Experts, am I right on this?

Youre an idiot kid..........passing up on free education, and to improve your game before you get a chance to play on the pros....tsk tsk tsk
edit: Idiot I mean Hayes, not you Broncos24...just clarifying that

I thought he had academic issues... maybe that's why he went pro instead.

David Drew's column on the McKee commitment:
http://www.mlive.com/broncos/index.ssf/2...mmitm.html
My favorite line:
Quote:McKee came on his official visit last weekend and said he was “blown away” by the atmosphere at Lawson Ice Arena for Saturday’s game against Northern Michigan.

Had posted on M-Live that recruit Chris Dienes had been placed on the 45 day IR list by Cedar Rapids due to a broken wrist. Have since learned that he had surgery on the wrist and is expected to be out 6 to 8 weeks. Assuming a full recovery, should be fine for us in the future.

RE: Official Hockey Recruiting Thread
Looks like we've gotten our first commitment for the Class of 2014. According to Chris Heisenberg's 2012 list, Luke Shiplo from the Georgetown Raiders (OJHL) has committed to WMU!
Sounds like a huge get and he's from an area that Murray will be tapping early, and often...CANADA.
From a hockey blog:
Quote:Western Michigan Gets Top OJHL D’Man Shiplo
Luke Shiplo has committed to play his college hockey at Western Michigan for Bronco head coach Andy Murray, according to College Hockey, Inc.
Recently traded to Toronto Lakeshore (OJHL), Shiplo, 5-9, 160 pounds, is one of the better defensemen plying his trade in the OJHL. Lakeshore coach Mike Tarantino said, “Luke is going to be a very good player; he has a very strong hockey IQ and is a great kid. He will fit in well with the guys we have in our room and I expect him to contribute immediately.”
From another blog:
Quote:Shiplo is arguably one of the best young defenceman in Ontario and has already received several NCAA offers.

RE: Official Hockey Recruiting Thread
According to USHL's Twitter, Colton Hargrove from the Fargo Force has committed to WMU.
No indication of when he'll be on campus, yet. Based on his age (born in 1992), I'm assuming he'll be on campus in either 2012 or 2013.
He definitely fills a need the Broncos need badly, some size up front.
I'm going to try and do some digging to see who else he had offers from.

According to a Fargo Force blog,
Quote: Hargrove said before Wednesday’s practice was considering either Western Michigan or Minnesota-Duluth.
Also as a heads up, I updated the original post. I hyperlinked each commit's name to their hockeydatabase page. It will allow you to get current stats on each of the players
