Hobey Watch, Recruits Visit Mass, KAEO Devin Tringale

Inside Hockey has their weekly Hobey Watch.  James Marcou is back on top while Casey Wellman’s stock continues to rise.

Inside Hockey also has a look at UNH’s weekend where Bobby Butler says they’ll be happy to get back to playing conference games.  Yeah, being winless outside of Hockey East will do that to you.

Here’s another UNH preview from north of the border.

UMass’ recent woes are discussed in this week’s Hockey East preview from USCHO.

Four UMass recruits will take the ice in Marlboro this weekend for the 2010 Winter Showcase.  Assuming they’re healthy Colin Shea (Junior Bruins), Peter DeAngelo (NH Jr Monarchs), Kevin Boyle (NJ Rockets) will play in games from Friday through Sunday at the New England Sports Center.  Unfortunately none of them are playing anytime near each other but I may try to get to a game if possible.  I’ve still yet to see DeAngelo in person.  Here’s the schedule for those looking to watch some quality junior hockey in a nice facility.

Chris DelMauro may not be visiting though as reader Ryan has pointed out that he has headed out west to play for the Lincoln Stars of the USHL.  However it does not appear that the Stars have officially added him to the roster as of yet (he’s still considered an affiliate player), so it may be just something he wanted to try out during his Christmas break.  Kevin Boyle did the same thing last season playing in the USHL for a game and then returning to the Empire Junior League.  DelMauro made the most of his three games out there though scoring a goal.

Also on the recruiting front another reader John Lyons posted a comment saying he heard UMass is recruiting Devin Tringale from Lawrence Academy.  Tringale is a 6’0″ 185 forward who currently has 9 goals and 10 assists in 12 games.  In checking some other sources it does appear UMass is or was interested in him.  According to this Cornell blog he’s also looking at the Big Red, BC, UNH, Dartmouth, and UNH.

I really hope UMass lands this kid.  Not just because he sounds like a high profile recruit, but for all the Fear The Tringale quips I’ll be able to make.

    I believe Tringale played for Malden Catholic for a year before going to Lawrence. As for the Hobey, the Hobey committee always picks players that are in the Frozen Four, so for either Marcou or Wellman to make it UMass really needs to make the NCAAs. Ill add a quick list below of recent winners and their situations at the end of the year.

    2009 Matt Gilroy – BU National Champs
    2008 Kevin Porter- Michigan Frozen Four
    2007 Ryan Duncan- North Dakota Frozen Four
    2006 Matt Carle – Denver doesn’t make tournament, but he won 2 NCAA titles already
    2005 Marty Sertich – CC Frozen Four
    2004 Junior Lessard – Frozen Four
    2002 – Jordan Leopold – Minnesota National Champs

    See a trend? Hopefully all of the Minutemen can play a supporting cast for Marcou and make the tournament, so that he will have a legitimate chance at actually winning this.

      Ya missed 2003 – Peter Sejna CC which did make the tournament but bowed out to Michigan.

      But only two of the last eight haven’t been in the Frozen Four…

      I haven’t heard anything specifically about UMass looking at Brandon Komm. I do know Providence, Union, and Yale are looking at him however.

    I got a chance to see tringale play last weekend. Very exciting player who plays the body every chance he gets and can score goals. hopefully umass will take a serioud look at this kid.

      Thanks for the insight umassalum. It’s always tough to find recruiting information so I certainly appreciate anyone who’s able to share firsthand observations. I’ve heard nothing but positives about Tringale.
