Over The Boards‏@OTBPuckWatch 1h1 hour ago
98 D Mike Young (@TheRiversSchool) commits to UConn. 6'1 RD is one of the better blue liners in New England, 3rd on team w/ 19 pts in 21 GP.

Over The Boards‏@OTBPuckWatch 1h1 hour ago
Mike Young (#98 uncommitted) is another bright talent on D to #UConn, joining '99 Connor Mayer (BSM). CR-@USHL 6th rd futures pick '14.

Over The Boards‏@OTBPuckWatch 1h1 hour ago
Young also played with fall '15 UConn Huskies recruit D Miles Gendron (NHL-Ottawa 3rd Rd '14) at Rivers from 2011-14.

Mark Bilotta‏@mbilotta 1h1 hour ago
RE: Young, well-rounded 6'1 D - plays well north and south of red line. Good speed, active stick, PP weapon with strong point shot.

Mark Bilotta‏@mbilotta 1h1 hour ago
For those asking, 98 D Young is slated to arrive at UCONN in 2017, currently playing for The Rivers School

NEHR‏@NEHockeyReport 1h1 hour ago
Big '98 defenseman Mike Young has committed to UConn out of the Rivers School. Smooth skating blue-liner can be an offensive threat.

15. 99 D Connor Mayer – Benilde-St. Margaret’s (MN) – 5’10 – 155

The former Benilde junior varsity squad member this past season may be the player who has most glaringly found his game (and confidence) over the past nine months out of his entire age group. He’s more out of the Luke McInnis (BC) or Jake Ryczek (UNH) mold than he is the next Chad Krys or future Benilde teammate Ben Newhouse (Union) – that is to say, Mayer can play, but it’s his body of work that ends up impressing more than any one dominating shift on the puck we would reference.

He plays with great pace and processes the game quickly to maintain being effective when the tempo picks up a few notches, but for a guy with those faculties, he battles and will go to war on the walls if necessary. Zips his outlets quick and clean, very accurate and some of his seeing-eye looks are very heady. Keeps a solid gap that should get better with his excellent skating tools and owns an active stick that he defends with often, doesn’t give up too much, and to boot can skate to contain pretty well. His wrist shot, too, is a weapon. It comes off the blade not unlike his passes – quick and accurate – often to dangerous areas. Playing with more confidence than nearly all of the “more highly-touted” prospects we have seen lately. Will look for him to continue to add awareness in all three zones and size, already has a slightly explosive push-off to his first step that should only become more pronounced as he develops.
 
Does anyone know if UConn has any interest in Kyle Thibodeaux, the goalie from Glastonbury, or what his plans are for next year?

Very proud and excited to announce my commitment to the University of Connecticut thanks to all who have helped me along the way #GoHuskies

98 D Adam Karashik (@CTOilers U18) commits to UConn. 6'0 RD, skates for days, very confident with puck. Great in-state look on the back-end.

Over The Boards‏@OTBPuckWatch 3m3 minutes ago

Karashik was our #110 ranked uncommitted prospect in December, grew to 6'0 this year, smart and continues to evolve his game offensively.

New #UConn recruit Adam Karashik was reportedly dominant up at Yankee Select 17s this weekend, alongside Oilers product Patrick Harper (BU).

RE: Karashik, knows when to step up & lower the boom or when to back off & take away passing lanes. Great skater, underrated shot: full tilt
 
the Oilers are a very good organization (and in Fairfield County)...they are in the EHL Finals. They are also affiliated with the Cedar rapids Rough Riders of the USHL.
 
My really long shot commit would be Chad Krys from Ridgefield, CT, the former Oiler who is now playing with the USNTDP U18. Probably the best American defenseman in the 2016 draft. Will be very high 2016 NHL draft pick. BU or BC are his likely destinations though. Father played at BU.

It could bring a tear to my eye seeing the kid commit to Uconn...congrats @AdamKarashik #ridgereppin
 
From bchl.ca:

Penticton Vees defenceman Miles Gendron has been named the BCHL Player of the Week for the week ending March 29, the league announced Monday.

Gendron helped the Vees to two wins to begin the Round-robin semifinals and assisted on four goals from the blueline along the way. The Toronto product set up three Vees tallies, including Riley Alferd's winner March 27, and was named 1st Star in that contest. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound rearguard assisted on Demico Hannoun's OT winner in Chilliwack as well.

An Ottawa Senators third-round draft pick in 2014, Gendron is committed to the University of Connecticut for next season. He has 10 assists in 14 playoff games after posting just 17 points in 54 regular-season games.

Proud to announce my commitment to play hockey at the University of Connecticut. Thanks to everyone that has helped me get here #GoHuskies

Over The Boards‏@OTBPuckWatch 12m12 minutes ago

98 F Evan Wisocky (@NJ_AvalancheU18) commits to UConn. Another nice snag for Huskies, our #39 uncommitted. 5'11 poised playmaker w/ a shot.

Over The Boards ‏@OTBPuckWatch 12m12 minutes ago

New #UConn recruit Evan Wisocky was on same NJ Av team as recent #BC pick-up Chris Grando at Nationals, plus 98F Sam Sternschein (#Cornell).

Vinny Smith‏@Chenzoo17Vinny 11m11 minutes ago

Congrats to @EvanWis12 on his commitment to UCONN. One of the best kids I've coached. So proud of you bud. #avdallday
 
From overtheboards.net, October, 2014:

98 F Evan Wisocky – NJ Avalanche U18 (NJ) – 5’11 – 175

Poised, measured scorer here who can play to match the game’s tempo and rifles pucks at the net. Solid making plays off the wall and when he moved down to play with the U16s in the 2nd half of the Atlantic Challenge, his talents were evident. Dart of a shot, nice skating ability. Reportedly was the best player on the ice this past weekend with dominant showings.
 
Russ Bitely‏@russbites 5m5 minutes ago

UConn keeps getting nice pieces w/ Evan Wisocky '98 (NJ Avs U18). Nice off instincts, puck skills. Scored a beauty last wkend at Nattys.

Andrew Weiss‏@WeissFC 35m35 minutes ago

LI Gulls product Evan Wisocky (’98) commits to UConn. UConn continues to build their program with talented future incoming classes.
