Commit Cycle: February 6 (Men)

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
2/1	vs. Phoenix Jr. Coyotes	W 3-1	0	0	0	0	Box Score
2/2	vs. Las Vegas Storm	W 6-1	2	1	3	0	Box Score
2/2	vs. Dallas Stars	W 4-0	0	0	0	0	Box Score
2/3	vs. LA Jr. Kings	W 5-2	1	0	1	2	Box Score

Although Berger was uncharacteristically quiet statistically, the Blues finished their Tier 1 schedule strong to end up 29-6-4, good for first in their division... the first-ever T1EHL playoffs will take place February 15th through 18th... with 61 points in 36 games, Berger will likely take the league scoring title (there are a few games involving other teams left this weekend)... Saint Louis University High finished its regular season 22-5-2 (3-1-0 over the last two weeks) and as second seed in the Mid-States Club Hockey Association playoffs, will take on Kirkwood in a best-of-three series this weekend for the right to go to the MSCHA final four.

David Goodwin

Center
Cedar Rapids RoughRiders (USHL)
5'9", 170 pounds
St. Louis, MO
Class of 2013
DOB 2/27/1992

Date	Opponent	Score	G	A	Pts.	PIM
1/25	vs. Des Moines	L 2-3	0	1	1	0	Box Score
1/26	vs. Green Bay	L 0-3	0	0	0	0	Box Score
2/1	vs. Chicago	L 0-5	0	0	0	0	Box Score
2/2	vs. Youngstown	W 5-2	0	1	1	2	Box Score

The Riders have dropped seven of eight overall to slip out of playoff contention at fifth place in the Eastern Conference, in what looks like a four teams for one spot race... Cedar Rapids is three points behind fourth-place Youngstown (the current leader in that race) and scored a big win over the Phantoms on Saturday, but has played two more games.

A.J. Greer

Left Wing
Kimball Union Academy (Prep)
6'2", 185 pounds
Repentigny, QC
Class of 2015
DOB 12/4/1996

Date	Opponent	Score	G	A	Pts.	PIM
1/23	vs. Exeter	W 8-0	3	0	3	-	Box Score
1/25	at Tilton	W 5-3	1	0	1	-	Box Score
1/30	at N'field-Mt. Hermon	W 4-0	0	0	0	-	Box Score
2/1	vs. Bridgton	W 3-0	0	0	0	-	Box Score
2/2	vs. Holderness	W 10-0	1	2	3	-	Box Score
2/6	at Andover	L 3-4	1	1	2	-	Box Score

KUA lost just its second game of the season on Wednesday at Andover to drop to 23-2-0... Greer's 17 goals this season are second on the team only to Nick Roberto, a Maine commit... considering the Wildcats' roster also includes players pledged to Boston College, Boston University, Massachusetts, Merrimack, Providence, St. Lawrence, Bentley and Mercyhurst, that's pretty impressive... in the only close game other than the loss (against Tilton on January 25th), Greer's second-period power play goal was the winner.

Kevin Kerr

Team Comcast (Midget Major 18U)
5'11", 162 pounds
Bensalem, PA
Class of 2015
DOB 2/9/1996



With Tri-City:

Date	Opponent	Score	G	A	Pts.	PIM
1/25	vs. Waterloo	W 6-5	0	0	0	2	Box Score
1/26	vs. Sioux City	L 2-3	0	0	0	0	Box Score

With Team Comcast:

2/3	vs. Cleveland Barons	W 4-2	0	0	0	0	Box Score
2/5	vs. Philadelphia Jr. Flyers	L 2-4	1	0	1	0	Box Score

For the second time this season, Kerr got a call-up to the USHL's Tri-City Storm, which selected him in the 2012 USHL Futures Draft... he missed a couple of Team Comcast's AMHL games that weekend as a result, but returned in time for last weekend's Tier 1 showcase... Team Comcast edged out the Jr. Flyers in their Tier 1 division with a 28-10-2 regular season record... Kerr finished with a 5-21-26 scoring line in T1EHL games... Holy Ghost Prep was 2-0-1 over the last two weeks (the Firebirds are 9-4-1 overall)... Kerr scored twice in a 13-5 rout of Pennsbury on January 28th and had an assist in a 4-4 tie with LaSalle.

Patrick Koudys

Defenseman
Muskegon Lumberjacks (USHL)
6'3", 198 pounds
Smithville, ON
Class of 2013
DOB 11/15/1992

Date	Opponent	Score	G	A	Pts.	PIM
1/25	vs. Dubuque	L 3-4	0	0	0	0	Box Score
1/26	vs. Sioux Falls	L 3-4	0	1	1	0	Box Score

2/1	vs. Youngstown	L 4-5	0	0	0	0	Box Score
2/2	vs. Chicago	L 3-4	0	0	0	7	Box Score

Muskegon, one of the few bright spots among the "Penn State" USHL teams this season, has hit a bit of a rough patch, although not nearly as rough as it appears above, as three of the four losses were in overtime or a shootout... Koudys has a +3 rating and 83 penalty minutes this season.

After playing in nine consecutive games, Marsh fell back out of the lineup in two of the last three on a team struggling for offense... in all, he has played in 21 of 41 in his rookie season in the USHL.

Eamon McAdam

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

Date	Opponent	Score	SA	GA	Sv%	GAA
1/25	at Tri-City	L 5-6	25	3	0.880	4.29	Box Score
1/26	at Omaha	W 8-1	21	1	0.952	1.00	Box Score
2/1	at Green Bay	L 4-6	--	-	---	---	Box Score
2/2	vs. Green Bay	W 7-3	44	3	0.932	3.00	Box Score

McAdam has continued as Waterloo's primary goaltender in the two weeks following The Save, a decision bolstered by two poor Cal Petersen starts (he was pulled in the Tri-City game, McAdam played the last two periods and overtime in that one) and that paid off with outstanding efforts against Omaha and Green Bay... against the Gamblers, he held up well against a high shot count - one of the goals against was during a garbage-time 6-on-4, while another was a rebound off of one of Waterloo's backchecking forwards... Waterloo, the best USHL team of those populated by PSU commits at 26-14-1 and second place in the Western Conference, is 14-4-1 in McAdam's decisions.

Bo Pellah

Defenseman
Alberni Valley Bulldogs (BCHL)
5'11", 150 pounds
New Westminster, BC
Class of 2014
DOB 5/25/1995

2/1	vs. Cowichan Valley	W 4-1	0	1	1	2	Box Score
2/2	at Cowichan Valley	W 5-3	-	-	-	-	Box Score

The remarkably consistent Pellah has continued to pay dividends for Alberni Valley, which acquired him from Langley in a trade this season... his 26 points (including Langley stats) are best among Bulldogs blueliners, and ninth among d-men across the entire BCHL.

Dylan Richard

Forward
Spruce Grove Saints (AJHL)

2/5	at Drayton Valley	L 0-1	-	-	-	-	Box Score

Spruce Grove's unheard-of (considering their status as one of the AJHL's perennially dominant teams) seven-game winless skid is due in part to Richard's absence with an upper-body injury since January 4th... he's expected back shortly.

Zach Saar

Right Wing
Muskegon Lumberjacks (USHL)
6'4", 210 pounds
Plainwell, MI
Class of 2013

2/1	vs. Youngstown	L 4-5	0	0	0	2	Box Score
2/2	vs. Chicago	L 3-4	0	0	0	4	Box Score

Last Wednesday, Saar was traded from Des Moines to Muskegon, along with the Buccaneers' fifth-round pick for the upcoming futures draft, with Muskegon's second-round futures pick going the other way... with the Lumberjacks, Saar not only jumps up the standings (from fifth place to second place), but also joins Koudys and women's forward Cara Mendelson's brother Matt... Saar, who was also teammates with freshman defenseman Connor Varley with Des Moines last season, will presumably know his teammates pretty well when he arrives in the fall.

Eric Scheid

Forward
Lincoln Stars (USHL)
5'9", 163 pounds
Coon Rapids, MN
Class of 2013

2/1	vs. Sioux Falls	L 1-4	0	0	0	0	Box Score
2/2	vs. Des Moines	W 5-2	0	0	0	0	Box Score

Scheid, who has been one of the USHL's top offensive players this season, was held to just two assists over the last two weeks as Lincoln teeters on the brink of playoff contention - they're one point behind archrival Omaha for the last spot in the Western Conference, but with two games in hand.

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

2/1	at Salmon Arm	L 1-3	-	-	-	-	Box Score
2/2	at West Kelowna	L 5-7	0	0	0	0	Box Score

Thompson was hit witha two-game suspension for a headshot major in the late moments of the Chiefs' loss at Surrey that started a current four-game losing streak... the skid has cost Chilliwack ground in their race for first place in the Mainland Division race with Surrey, as they now trail by five points.

Mike Williamson

Defenseman
Spruce Grove Saints (AJHL)
6'3", 210 pounds
Leduc, AB
Class of 2013

2/5	at Drayton Valley	L 0-1	0	0	0	2	Box Score

Like teammate Richard, Williamson has battled injury issues this season, returning to the lineup for the first time since October 27th in the January 29th game... while the Saints remain atop of the North Division at 28-14-9, they now find themselves in a tight race, with six other teams within eight points and five within four.
