Commit Cycle: October 23

Chase Berger

Forward
St. Louis AAA Blues (Midget Major 18U)
6'0", 190 pounds
St. Louis, MO
Class of 2015
DOB 11/14/1994



Date  Opponent                Score  G   A Pts PIM
--------------------------------------------------------------

10/20 vs. Chicago Fury        W 4-3  3   0   3   2 [box score]
10/21 vs. Chicago Fury        W 4-1  1   1   2   0 [box score]

It could be said that Berger had an okay weekend against the Fury... incredibly, of the four goals he scored, three were shorthanded... the hat trick on Saturday didn't get going until the Blues faced a 2-1 second-period deficit - from that point, he scored three of the four goals left in the game to fuel the win... the Blues will head to New England for the Beantown Fall Classic beginning Thursday.



Conor Garland

Forward
Muskegon Lumberjacks (USHL)
5'6", 150 pounds
Scituate, MA
Class of 2015
DOB 3/11/1996



Date  Opponent                Score  G   A Pts PIM
--------------------------------------------------------------

10/12 at Cedar Rapids         W 3-2  0   1   1   0 [box score]
10/13 at Des Moines           L 2-3  0   0   0   0 [box score]
10/16 at Team USA             W 4-2  1   0   1   2 [box score]
10/19 vs. Chicago             W 4-3  -   -   -   - [box score]
10/20 at Chicago              W 4-0  -   -   -   - [box score]

Garland notched his first of what will surely be many USHL points on October 12th against Cedar Rapids and his first goal four days later against the NTDP... the Lumberjacks have a league-best 15 points from a 7-0-1 record.



David Goodwin

Center
Sioux City Musketeers (USHL)
5'9", 170 pounds
St. Louis, MO
Class of 2013
DOB 2/27/1992



Date  Opponent                Score  G   A Pts PIM

10/12 at Fargo                L 3-6  0   0   0   4 [box score]
10/13 vs. Indiana             W 3-2  2   1   3   0 [box score]
10/19 vs. Youngstown          W 5-1  0   1   1   2 [box score]
10/20 vs. Des Moines          L 1-2  0   0   0   0 [box score]

Goodwin bounced back from a rough outing against Fargo (not listed above: his -3 rating) to put up more typical efforts in the next couple games, which included a goal against Indiana with 2:34 remaining to send the game to overtime, followed by an assist on the winner... said Muskies d-man Dan Molenaar (a Minnesota-Duluth recruit), the guy who scored the OT goal against the Ice: "He’s wearing the ‘C’ for a reason. He’s one heck of a guy. Everyone respects him in the locker room. He brings his game when we need it. He got the goal at the end to tie it and bring it to OT. He gets the puck and he waits until the last second, which sucks everybody out of the play. It was a perfect pass and it was a heck of a way to win."

Kevin Kerr

Defenseman
Team Comcast (Midget Major 18U)

10/21 vs. Wash. Little Caps   W 4-1  0   0   0   2 [box score]

Team Comcast is now 5-0-0 in AYHL games, with a goals for-goals against of 29-6... Kerr has totaled three points in those games... the team will join Berger and the Blues at the Beantown Fall Classic this week and weekend.



Alec Marsh

Forward
Cedar Rapids RoughRiders (USHL)
5'10", 175 pounds
Bridgewater, NJ
Class of 2015
DOB 11/28/1995

10/20 at Indiana              W 7-5  0   0   0   0 [box score]

Marsh collected his first USHL point a day later than Garland, although Marsh's wins when judging on YouTube hits... he entered the zone and found Dylan McLaughlin to his right, and McLaughlin shelved it from the right wing circle by going between his legs.

Eamon McAdam

Goaltender
Waterloo Black Hawks (USHL)
6'2", 185 pounds
Perkasie, PA
Class of 2013
DOB 9/24/1994

10/12 vs. Green Bay          W 4-1 38  1 .974 1.00 [box score]

10/21 vs. Team USA           W 6-2 --  -  --- ---  [box score]

McAdam, beyond his selection to the U.S. World Junior A Challenge team (covered in a separate post), is off to a lights-out start... he earned his first USHL shutout last Friday, but may have been even better in the game against Green Bay a week before that... after the Gamblers scored first, McAdam stopped 30 shots over the last two periods of the game to allow the modest comeback... included in those 30 were many with a high degree of difficulty as Waterloo had penalty kills lasting 3:47 in the second period and 3:48 in the third period.



Bo Pellah

Defenseman
Langley Rivermen (BCHL)
5'11", 150 pounds
New Westminster, BC
Class of 2014

10/20 vs. Vernon              W 2-1  0   0   0   0 [box score]

Langley ended a rough couple of weeks by picking up an overtime win over Vernon... despite still boasting a winning record overall (6-5-2), they're in last place in the Mainland Division... Pellah continues to excel as a puck-moving d-man, averaging 0.9 assists per game so far this season.



Zach Saar

Right Wing
Des Moines Buccaneers (USHL)
6'4", 210 pounds
Plainwell, MI
Class of 2013
DOB 6/22/1993



Date  Opponent                Score  G   A Pts PIM
--------------------------------------------------------------

10/12 vs. Omaha               W 6-2  1   1   2   0 [box score]
10/13 vs. Muskegon            W 3-2  0   0   0   0 [box score]
10/19 vs. Team USA            W 10-1 0   0   0  15 [box score]
10/20 at Sioux City           W 2-1  0   0   0   2 [box score]

Stunningly the Buccaneers, projected as a bottom feeder this year, have won four straight after an 0-3-1 start - and an eighteen game losing streak if last season is counted - to sit in fifth place in the Western Conference so far... Saar was a vital part of Des Moines' first win, scoring on the power play to give the Bucs the lead for good.



David Thompson

Defenseman
Chilliwack Chiefs (BCHL)
6'2", 187 pounds
Glen Mills, PA
Class of 2013
DOB 5/19/1992



Date  Opponent                Score  G   A Pts PIM
--------------------------------------------------------------

10/10 vs. Langley             W 4-3  0   0   0   7 [box score]
10/13 vs. Vernon              W 4-1  0   1   1   2 [box score]
10/19 at Nanaimo              W 5-4  0   0   0   0 [box score]
10/20 at Alberni Valley       W 3-2  0   0   0   0 [box score]
10/21 at Powell River         L 1-4  0   1   1   4 [box score]

The Chiefs pulled sort of an anti-Rivermen by running off a torrid two weeks, tempered only by a closing loss Sunday night... as as result, Chilliwack now leads the Mainland Division with a 9-3-2 record... despite not really being an offensive defenseman, captain Thompson continues to lead the team's blueliners in scoring, with eight points in 14 games.
