New Recruits

Eden Prairie HS senior Dan Vranek has committed to New Hampshire. Vranek is kind of interesting in that he's originally from Florida, but moves up to Eden Prairie for the winter to play hockey. He's a speedy, talented player, though Chris Heisenberg has him listed as starting college next fall, which is a huge jump.

Chicago Steel goalie Rob Madore committed to Vermont for 2008. Madore has played pretty well for an awful Chicago team. His numbers aren't spectacular, but much better than Colorado College recruit Richard Bachman's while he was with the Steel, and much better than his current back-up Pat McGann, who was an NHL draft pick.
