This year, the ECACHL features 36 current NHL prospects. All member schools except Princeton have at least one NHL prospect on their roster. Clarkson leads all teams with nine NHL prospects.
Harvard University
(Number of NHL prospects on 2006-07 roster: 5)
Last season, the Harvard Crimson clinched their third ECACHL Championship title in five years and with it the automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. While their goal of reaching the Frozen Four fell short, Harvard has been able to take many positives from the experience. This year, the Crimson look to successfully defend their ECACHL Championship crown when they open their 2006-07 season on Oct. 27 at Dartmouth.
Harvard lost just five players to graduation. The most significant of which was goaltender John Daigneau. The Brookfield, WI native was instrumental in backstopping the Crimson to a 21-12-2 record last season. Daigneau, an All-Ivy League Team honorable mention, posted a 19-10-2 record that included three shutouts. His .645 winning percentage ranked 14th in the nation last year. Daigneau's likely successor in goal this season is senior Justin Tobe. The Northville, MI native served as Daigneau's backup, posting a 2-2-0 record that included one shutout in eight appearances.
Another position that lost some key players was the defense. Stalwart defensemen Peter Hafner and Tom Walsh (SJ) have both graduated. Filling their roles may not necessarily come quickly, but it will provide several of the returning players an opportunity to expand or even change their roles on the team. Outstanding senior and team captain Dylan Reese (NYR) leads the Crimson defense. The Pittsburgh native's leadership will be help to solidify what is shaping up to be one of the best defensive corps in the ECACHL.
"Dylan Reese in my mind is nothing short of a serious Hobey Baker candidate," said head coach Ted Donato. "He's been the catalyst for our team for the last three years and has been one of the best players on the ice for us night in and night out. We expect that to continue this year too."
Two newcomers to the Harvard blue line well worth watching are Alex Biega (BUF) and Chad Morin. Biega, a 2006 draft selection of the Buffalo Sabres (fifth round, 147th overall) is noted for his quickness and his clutch play. Morin, who is eligible for the 2007 NHL Draft, is primarily a defensive defenseman with some size (6'0/210) who is noted for his fluid skating and strong positional play.
Despite the loss of Dan Murphy and Charlie Johnson to graduation, Harvard will once again field a very talented group up front. Two of Harvard's smallest players in senior Kevin Du and junior Jon Pelle led the team in scoring last season. The electrifying Du finished with 33 points (10 goals, 23 assists). The speedy Pelle finished second with 28 points (10 goals, 18 assists) and co-led the team with a +10.
One incoming forward to keep an eye on is centerman Doug Rogers (NYI). The Watertown, MA native is noted for his tremendous puck distribution capabilities.
"I see Dougie becoming one of our best playmakers and being a factor on our special teams," said Donato. "What makes Dougie so great is that he has a penchant for making players around him better and that's going to be a positive thing for us."
Brown University
(Number of NHL prospects on 2006-07 roster: 2)
The 2005-06 season was a very tough one for the Brown Bears as they fought to a 5-20-7 record and a last place finish in the conference. This season, Brown hopes to get things back on track and make a move up the ECACHL standings when they open their 2006-07 season on Oct. 28 at Merrimack.
The Bears graduated eight players, but their most significant loss wasn't to graduation. In the offseason, starting goaltender Adam D'Alba announced his retirement from hockey in order to concentrate on academics (he is still enrolled at Brown). With the loss of D'Alba and the graduation of Kevin Kliman, goaltending becomes the Bears most pressing issue. Sophomore Mark Sibbald returns as the likely starter after playing in just six games last season. Newcomers Dan Rosen and Tristan Favro will challenge Sibbald for playing time.
The inexperience in goal this season means the towering Brown defensive corps will have to be solid and provide stability. Like in goal, the Bears blue line will be predominantly young. Juniors Sean Hurley and Paul Baier (LA) will be relied on heavily for their leadership this season. Hurley led all Brown defensemen in scoring last season with 15 points (six goals, nine assists). Baier was arguably Brown's most reliable defenseman. Though the North Kingstown, RI native only posted six points (all assists), his value to the team was measured more by his consistency, solid positional play and hard work throughout the season.
One of the biggest contributors to Brown's struggles last season was a lack of offensive production. The Bears finished tied for 53rd in the nation last season, averaging just over two goals per game. Returning junior Jeff Prough led the team in scoring last season with 30 points (17 goals, 13 assists). He was the only player on the Brown roster to post ten or more goals and was one of just two players to post 20 or more points. The other forward that finished with 20 or more points was junior Brian McNary. The Edmonton, AB native finished with 23 points, but scored just five goals. If the Bears expect to make a move in the fiercely competitive ECACHL, they'll need much more scoring from players other than Prough and McNary.
One forward that Brown will be looking towards to step up is senior Brian Ihnacak (PIT). After a fantastic rookie season, the Toronto, ON native has seen his numbers decline in each of his last two seasons. He finished his injury-plagued junior year with a mere nine points (three goals six assists) in 15 appearances. If Ihnacak can stay in the lineup and rediscover his offensive magic, it could go a long way to helping Brown avoid finishing in the ECACHL basement.
Clarkson University
(Number of NHL prospects on 2006-07 roster: 9)
It's a brand new season at Clarkson University and the expectations are running high. After convincing opening weekend wins over Niagara and RIT, the Golden Knights look stronger, better and ready to make a serious run at the ECACHL Championship this season.
Clarkson returns nearly its entire team intact. Defensemen Chris Brekelsmans and Jamie McKinven along with forward Jeff Genovy were all lost to graduation. While filling their respective roles will be crucial, finding the players to do it shouldn't be a problem.
One of the best stories to come out of Clarkson last season was junior Nick Dodge (CAR). The Oakville, ON native led the Golden Knights with 41 points (16 goals, 25 assists) and four short-handed tallies. What makes Dodge such an invaluable asset to his team is not what he does on the scoresheet so much as just his mere presence on the ice. His tireless work ethic coupled with his infectious and calming influence enables him to make the team around him better. This season, Dodge will serve as the Golden Knights team captain and that comes as no real surprise to head coach George Roll.
"Nick is the kind of guy that leads by example and commands the respect of his teammates. When we talked with our players about who they wanted to elect as our team captain, it was clear that it was going to be Nick. He's a very positive individual and will accept that role. We were very pleased with the way Chris (Brekelsmans) handled the captaincy role last year and we expect that to be the same this year with Nick," said Roll.
The Golden Knights are looking to their excellent line combination of sophomore Shea Guthrie (NYI) and juniors Shawn Weller (OTT) and Steve Zalewski (SJ) to really step it up this season. Of the three, Weller will likely have the highest expectations for improvement. The rugged Weller posted 24 points (14 goals, 20 assists) in 37 appearances last season but maintaining discipline was a persistent problem, as evidence by his 103 penalty minutes. Guthrie and Zalewski continue to make significant progress in their overall development, but will be counted on to better their respective nine-goal outputs from last season.
The biggest improvements for Clarkson however could potentially come from their defensive corps. The foursome of senior Michael Grenzy (CHI), junior Grant Clitsome (CBJ), and sophomores Philippe Paquet (MON) and Tyrell Mason (NYI) made up one of the ECACHL's best and most promising defensive groups last season and this year are poised to be even better. The four combine size, great mobility and excellent puck skills that resulted in 54 combined points (17 percent) of the team's total offense in 2005-06.
Goaltending is another area that should improve as well. The tandem of junior David Leggio and senior Kyle McNulty both return this season. Leggio posted an 11-9-3 record last season while McNulty posted a 7-8-0 record. Both netminders also finished with save percentages of .900 or better.
Colgate University
(Number of NHL prospects on 2006-07 roster: 2)
Despite finishing atop the ECACHL regular season standings last year tied with Dartmouth, Colgate failed to make a return a trip to the NCAA Tournament. This season, the Raiders have gotten off to a disappointing start to their 2006-07 campaign, losing to both Vermont and Denver in the Icebreaker Tournament last weekend. Nevertheless, there is much to look forward to and Colgate looks poised to be a formidable contender for the coveted ECACHL Championship.
One of the challenges facing Colgate this season will be replacing the numbers and leadership left by graduates Kyle Wilson, Jon Smyth and Ryan Smyth. While it may take some time, the Raiders have the returning personnel to accomplish the feat. Junior Tyler Burton and senior team captain Liam Huculak will be two of the players counted on to step into the roles left by the departed players. The high-flying Burton posted a career-best 40 points (22 goals, 18 assists) and was named to the ECACHL All-Conference First Team. The towering Huculak posted just five points (one goal, four assists) while battling through a shoulder injury last season. This season, the Lethbridge, AB native is healthy and is expected to have better numbers as well.
The Raiders bring in a small but superb group of newcomers. Among the forwards to watch is 2006 draftee centerman David McIntyre (DAL). The Pefferlaw, ON native brings a combination of explosive speed and tremendous offensive capabilities that will add to an already stellar core of forwards on the Raiders roster.
One area that helped propel Colgate to the top of the ECACHL standings at the end of the regular season last year was defense. The Raiders 2.38 goals allowed average ranked 13th in the nation and second in the conference. A big part of that can be attributed to the sensational goaltending of sophomore Mark Dekanich (NSH). The ECACHL's Ken Dryden Award recipient posted an 18-11-6 record that included four shutouts. His .924 save percentage ranked tenth and his 2.29 goals against average ranked 16th.
"Mark is the real deal in my opinion. Much of our success fell on Mark's shoulders last season because he played so well on a lot of nights and his numbers speak for themselves," said head coach Don Vaughan in praising his young netminder. "Mark is very driven and very focused. He really wants to play at the next level and he's got his sights set on that. I feel that he's got a real good opportunity to do that in the future."
Colgate looks to have a very strong defensive corps again this season. The diminutive, offensive-minded senior Mike Campaner leads a very solid group of returning blueliners that should be improved this year. Campaner led all Raiders defensemen in scoring last season with 20 points (two goals, 18 assists).
One defenseman poised to take a big step this season is sophomore Jason Fredericks. The Eagle River, WI native played in 36 games last season and in the process became one of the Raiders most consistent and reliable defensemen. This season, Fredericks returns bigger and stronger, which should make him a more effective force on the Raiders blue line.
Cornell University
(Number of NHL prospects on 2006-07 roster: 7)
The Cornell Big Red earned another bid to the NCAA Tournament only to see the run end in another heartbreaking loss. This time it was a 1-0 loss to the eventual National Champion Wisconsin Badgers in the nail-biting triple overtime thriller in the Midwest Regional Final. Cornell hopes to make yet another trip to the NCAA Tournament when they open their 2006-07 season on Oct. 26 hosting Robert Morris.
The Cornell Big Red has long had a reputation as being one of the best and toughest defensive teams in the nation. This offseason, the mighty Cornell defense took some devastating hits when starting netminder David McKee (ANA) and the Big Red's defensive twin towers of Ryan O'Byrne (MON) and Sasha Pokulok (WSH) all left early to turn pro. In addition, top scorer Matt Moulson (PIT), backup goaltender Louis Chabot and stalwart defenseman Jon Gleed (MON) were among six players lost to graduation.
With McKee and Chabot no longer with the team, goaltending becomes the biggest concern for Cornell coming into the season. The goaltending duties will fall to sophomores Troy Davenport and Dan DiLeo, and freshman Ben Scrivens. Davenport returns to Cornell after a one-year absence, having played in Des Moines (USHL) last season. DiLeo missed nearly the entire 2005-06 season with injury.
In addition to the goaltending position, the Cornell defensive corps will also be quite young. Seniors Dan Glover (NJ) and Evan Salmela, along with junior Doug Krantz will be relied on to provide leadership, guidance and stability to what could potentially be a longer than expected adjustment period for this year's edition of the Big Red. In addition to their returning players, Cornell welcomes two defensemen who bring size and tremendous mobility to the blue line in Justin Krueger (CAR) and Brandon Nash. Both players come to Cornell from the BCHL. Krueger played with Penticton last season, while Nash played with Salmon Arm.
Despite the loss Moulson, along with the Abbott twins (Cam and Chris) and Daniel Pegararo, the forward lines look to be the Big Red's strength coming into the season. The Cornell forward lines will feature an abundance of high-powered talent.
The one returning forward to watch is bruising junior Raymond Sawada (DAL). His intense, hard-nosed style gave opposing players fits throughout last season. Sawada finished fourth on team in scoring with 20 points (seven goals, 13 assists). Of his seven goals, three came on the power play. This season, Sawada is once again poised to not only wreak havoc on the opposition by his physical play but also on the scoresheet as well.
Amongst the newcomers, two players that all eyes will be on are two 2006 NHL draftees in the rugged yet offensively gifted Colin Greening (OTT) and the very quick Tony Romano (NJ). Greening comes to Cornell from Nanaimo (BCHL), while Romano comes to Cornell from the Atlantic JHL's New York Bobcats.
Dartmouth College
(Number of NHL prospects on 2006-07 roster: 5)
The 100-year anniversary season for the Dartmouth Big Green was a memorable yet slightly disappointing one. After finishing tied atop the ECACHL regular season standings with Colgate, the Big Green just missed earning a bid to the NCAA Tournament. This season, Dartmouth hopes to remedy that when they open their 2006-07 campaign on Oct. 27 hosting Ivy League rival Harvard.
One of the biggest concerns that the team had prior to last season was goaltending. This season, the Big Green look very much set with starting junior Mike Devine and sophomore Dan Goulding both returning. Devine gave Dartmouth some superb goaltending, particularly in the second half. He finished the season with an 18-8-2 record that included two shutouts.
While filling the roles of the three graduated forwards in Mike Ouellette, Eric Przepiorka and Jarrett Sampson will be a challenging one, Dartmouth should have little trouble doing so. The always-dangerous David Jones (COL) returns as Dartmouth's top scorer from last season with 37 points (13 goals, 24 assists). Jones, who will serve as an assistant captain, is expected to match or surpass those numbers in addition to help provide some leadership this season.
One player to keep an eye on is junior Nick Johnson (PIT). After posting 35 points in his rookie campaign, The Calgary, AB native's numbers dipped a bit last season, finishing with 25 points (15 goals, 10 assists).
"Nick is poised to have a great year. He's in unbelievable shape and he had a good camp with Pittsburgh. I know that Nick was disappointed with his sophomore year but I was actually quite pleased that he wanted more. It shows a little bit about what he's all about. He's really committed to excellence," said head coach Bob Gaudet. "Nick's coming into his own and his best hockey is ahead of him."
As good as the Big Green looks at the forward position, they may be equally as good on defense. Seniors Grant Lewis (ATL) and Ben Lovejoy lead a stellar defensive corps that will make the Dartmouth blue line not only well balanced but quite imposing as well. Lovejoy returns as the team's top scoring defenseman from last season, posting 18 points (two goals, 16 assists).
The multi-talented Lewis finished with 15 points (four goals, 11 assists). While the prospect of possibly losing the Pittsburgh native early to the pros did concern Gaudet, he is thrilled that Lewis is back in Hanover.
"Grant is all about excellence and effort. He plays his hardest and tries his best all the time and is an unselfish player. He is really excited to be coming back here to school because he wants to lead Dartmouth to the NCAA Tournament and wants to do it for the team," said Gaudet. "I was concerned about the possibility of losing him to Atlanta before he was to graduate, but after attending the (prospects) camp, [Atlanta] felt good about Grant coming back here because they see him making these (developmental) steps."
Princeton University
(Number of NHL prospects on 2006-07 roster: 0)
The Princeton Tigers continue to make great strides under head coach Guy Gadowsky but this year could prove to be the biggest challenge yet for the program under his guidance. Princeton will begin to face that challenge on Oct. 27 versus Bentley College.
The most significant loss that the Tigers suffered was that of goaltender Eric Leroux. The 2006 recipient of the Hockey Humanitarian Award was the backbone of a defense that allowed just over three goals per game last season – a vast improvement from the previous season. Despite finishing with a 7-13-2 record, Leroux capped his final season with a 2.80 goals against average and an outstanding .914 save percentage, a new school single season record. With Leroux's departure, the goaltending duties will likely fall to senior B.J. Sklapsky. The Martensville, SK native served as Leroux's backup last season, posting a 3-3-1 record in seven appearances. Sophomore Thomas Sychterz and newcomer Zane Kalemba will also be battling for playing time.
Another position suffering some key losses in the Princeton lineup was the blue line. The Tigers lost their two of their top defensemen in Seamus Young and Brian Carthas to graduation. Both players co-led the team in scoring by defensemen with 18 points apiece. Replacing the leadership of Young and Carthas will be easier than replacing their offensive output. Seniors Brett Westgarth and Darryl Marcoux, who will serve as team captain, will both be relied on to help replenish the offensive contributions left by the departed players. Westgarth finished with 11 points (three goals, eight assists) while Marcoux finished with six points (all assists).
One defensive newcomer to watch is Kevin Crane. The Irvine, CA is noted for his excellent skating and superb puck-handling. Crane is a player who has the potential as well as the skill to help fill the offensive roles left by Young and Carthas.
While the loss of Patrick Neuendorfer is significant, Princeton's strongest position looks to be at forward. Two seniors in the offensively gifted Grant Goeckner-Zoeller and the punishing Kevin Westgarth lead an impressive group up front who should be able to help improve on the 2.61 goals per game that they averaged last season. Goeckner-Zoeller led the Tigers in scoring last season with 29 points (15 goals, 14 assists). Westgarth finished second with 23 points (ten goals, 13 assists).
A Tigers forward who is certainly capable of helping to boost Princeton's offensive numbers is dynamic sophomore Brett Wilson. Despite battling through an ankle injury and a bout with mononucleosis last season, Wilson still managed to lead all Princeton rookies in scoring with 21 points (11 goals, 10 assists). This season, he is poised to become one of the Tigers' top snipers.
"When you talk about impact players you have to talk about Brett Wilson," said head coach Guy Gadowsky. "He had a great freshman season but he was pretty much hurt all year. He's a guy that is so talented that when he's healthy, he can really take off. Brett's healthy now and we're expecting him to have a great year for us."
Quinnipiac University
(Number of NHL prospects on 2006-07 roster: 2)
Quinnipiac's inaugural season in the ECACHL turned out better than expected. They finished tied for ninth in the conference with an 8-13-1 record. Despite being swept at North Dakota to open the 2006-07 campaign, the Bobcats are looking to claw their way further up the ECACHL standings this season.
While Quinnipiac lost some outstanding leadership and character players in Joe Dumais, Ty Deinema and John Kelly all to graduation, the team looks to be in great shape and poised to be even better this year.
One cannot talk about the Bobcats leadership this season without mentioning senior defenseman and team captain Reid Cashman. A strong candidate for the 2007 Hobey Baker Award, Cashman has become the heart and soul of the Quinnipiac team. His great work ethic, top-flight skill level both offensively and defensively, and his strong leadership have benefited his team tremendously and that's not likely to change this season. For the third year in a row, the Red Wing, MN native led all Bobcats defensemen in scoring with 41 points (five goals, 36 assists). His 41 points and 1.05 points per game both ranked him third in the nation among defensemen last season.
Among those joining Cashman on defense this season is one of two UNH transfers in junior John Doherty (TOR). The Lynnfield, MA native will add some considerable size and toughness along with some experience to the Bobcats blue line.
Goaltending looks pretty well set as sophomore starter Bud Fisher will try and pick up right from where he left off last season. Fisher, the younger sibling of Ottawa Senators forward Mike Fisher, was brilliant goal for Quinnipiac last season. He posted an 18-14-1 record that included three shutouts. With Josh Siembida having graduated and Wes Russell transferring to Robert Morris, two newcomers will be vying for playing time as Fisher's backup in walk-on junior Dan Cullen and freshman Zach Kleiman.
The forward position may be Quinnipiac's strength this season. The Bobcats return all of their top scoring forwards from last season, including the exciting sophomore duo of Bryan Leitch and David Marshall. Leitch, the ECACHL's Rookie of the Year, led the Bobcats in scoring with 45 points (14 goals, 31 assists). Half of his 14 goals came on the power play. Leitch's 45 points tied for second in the nation among rookies last year. Marshall led Quinnipiac in goal scoring with 22. He also led the team with 78 penalty minutes and two short-handed goals.
In addition to the superb group of returning veterans from last year's squad, the Bobcats also welcome two transfers in junior right wing Dan Travis (FLA) and redshirted freshman Mike Atkinson. Travis comes to Quinnipiac from the University of New Hampshire and will be eligible to play immediately, while Atkinson comes to Quinnipiac from the University of Vermont and will be eligible to play in January 2007.
Rensselaer Polytechnic University (RPI)
(Number of NHL prospects on 2006-07 roster: 1)
It's the dawning of a new era at RPI and there's plenty to get excited about. Former Denver assistant coach Seth Appert brings in a fresh system and a whole new attitude this season as RPI's new head coach. It will all officially get underway on Oct. 14 when the Engineers open their 2006-07 season hosting Boston University.
"We're looking to be an offensive-minded team. I believe that's the way the game should be played. We're going to give our players a lot of freedom and creativity," said Appert. "We're going to challenge them to try and make good offensive plays and become an offensive-minded team. All that we're going to demand in return is that they compete extremely hard when we don't have the puck and be disciplined both in their positioning and with their emotions so that we become a good defensive team. You can be a good defensive team and still give your team lots of freedom to be an outstanding offensive team as well."
The best news that the Engineers got in the offseason was the return of redshirted senior and team captain Kirk MacDonald. MacDonald missed the entire 2005-06 season while getting treatment for the testicular cancer that he was diagnosed with back in April of 2005. Now healthy, a little leaner and having regained his strength, Appert feels that MacDonald will be better than ever this season.
"Kirk looks very good on the ice and is very excited to be back with the guys. We're excited to have him back on our team. I feel that he's going to be one of the best two-way power forwards in college hockey and certainly in our league," said Appert. "Kirk's strength is back at 100 percent. He's a little bit leaner than he was before and that's by design. Kirk feels that he's quicker on the ice now because of it."
In addition to providing some inspirational leadership, MacDonald's return should also help boost the Engineers' offensive production as well. RPI had the 34th-best offense in the nation last year that averaged just under three goals per game. Reliable senior Oren Eizenman and speedy junior Jonathan Ornelas return as last season's top two scorers. Eizenman finished 2005-06 with 38 points (16 goals, 22 assists), while Ornelas finished with 22 (13 goals, nine assists).
Another area that looks strong for RPI coming into the season is in goal. Sophomore Mathias Lange was stellar between the pipes last season, despite a 13-15-6 record. The Klagenfurt, Austria native was also a workhorse in the Engineers' net, appearing in 35 of the team's 37 games and logging over 2,000 minutes in playing time. This season, he's likely to log similar minutes as RPI's starter.
The blue line looks to be the area where the Engineers will have the least amount of experience this season. Seniors Jake Luthi and Ryan Swanson return to lead a sizable, mainly youthful defensive corps. Luthi posted 11 points (three goals, eight assists) last season, while Swanson posted eight points (one goal, seven assists).
One defensive newcomer to watch is Christian Jensen (SJ). The Watchung, NJ Native brings good size (6'3/200) and is noted for his superb vision and skating ability.
St. Lawrence University
(Number of NHL prospects on 2006-07 roster: 2)
The St. Lawrence Saints enjoyed a stellar 2005-06 season, finishing fifth in the ECACHL with an overall record of 21-17-2. This season, the new look Saints are off to a 1-1 start after defeating RIT on Friday then falling to Niagara on Saturday. While St. Lawrence looks to try and better their fifth place finish this season, they'll be doing it with a much younger team.
Four of the Saints' top five scorers from last season are gone, including ECACHL Player of the Year T. J. Trevelyan (BOS) and All-ECACHL First Team selected defenseman Mike Madill (MIN). The four players lost accounted for 129 (38 percent) of St. Lawrence's 338 total points last season. So the obvious question becomes who is going to pick up the slack. Senior and co-captain Kyle Rank returns as the team's scorer. The Elmira, ON native finished tied for second on the team in scoring with 28 points (11 goals, 17 assists).
Two players who'll be relied on to help replenish the team's offensive numbers are a pair of exciting up and coming sophomores in Kevin DeVergilio and Brock McBride. DeVergilio led all St. Lawrence rookies in scoring last season with 25 points (14 goals, 11 assists). McBride finished with 18 points (six goals, 12 assists) and co-led the team with 54 penalty minutes.
Amongst the newcomers who could figure prominently on the scoresheet this season are freshman Mike McKenzie and sophomore Casey Parenteau. McKenzie posted 77 points with the OPJHL's St. Michael's Buzzers last season. Parenteau, a transfer from D-III St. John's University in Minnesota, spent last season with Sioux Falls (USHL) and posted 51 points.
Defense looks to be the Saints' strength this season. Senior and co-captain Drew Bagnall (FLA) is healthy again after a hand injury limited him to just 24 games last season. Aside from being looked to for leadership, Bagnall will also be able to help generate some offense from the blue line as well.
One returning defenseman to watch this season is sophomore Matt Generous (BUF). Despite being sidelined with an ankle injury that delayed his collegiate start, the ECACHL All-Rookie Team selection finished strong as Madill's partner on the blue line last season. Generous posted 15 points (four goals, 11 assists) in 34 games and solidified one of the top spots on the St. Lawrence defense. This season, the Saints are looking for Generous to continue his development into an elite collegiate defenseman.
St. Lawrence should also see some stability in goal this season. Juniors Justin Pesony and John Hallas return as the Saints top two goaltenders. The starter Pesony appeared in 37 games last season, posting a 20-14-2 record that included two shutouts. Hallas, who served as Pesony's backup, appeared in four games and posted one decision (a loss).
Union College
(Number of NHL prospects on 2006-07 roster: 1)
The Union College Dutchmen finished their 2005-06 regular season tied for sixth in the ECACHL with an overall record of 16-16-6 but lost a heartbreaker to Yale in the fifth overtime in the ECACHL first round set. The game will go down as one for the ages. This season, the Dutchmen are off to a great start after sweeping Ferris State in their rink last weekend. The hope is that it is also the beginning of better things to come.
The biggest issue that Union will have to contend with this season is goaltending. ECACHL All-Conference Second Team selection Kris Mayotte has graduated. Mayotte was an absolute workhorse between the Union College pipes last season. He posted a 16-15-5 record that included four shutouts in 37 games. His 2264:46 minutes were the second most minutes played by a goaltender last season.
With Mayotte's departure, the goaltending duties will likely fall to junior Justin Mrazek (WSH). The lone NHL prospect on the Dutchmen roster saw action in just five games last season and posted one decision (a loss). This season, Union is hoping that Mrazek can eventually become the player that Mayotte became.
Senior and team captain Sean Streich will lead the predominantly youthful Dutchmen defensive corps this season. Though Streich is not likely to score many points again this season, his experience and leadership will be an invaluable asset to Union's pursuit of the ECACHL crown this season. Hard-nosed sophomore Lane Caffaro returns as the Dutchmen's top scoring defenseman with 16 points (five goals, 11 assists). His 101 penalty minutes were among the most in the ECACHL last season.
One area that Union hopes to vastly improve this year is offensive production. The Dutchmen ranked a dismal 50th in the nation last season in team offense, averaging a mere 2.37 goals per game. Returning senior Olivier Bouchard led the Dutchmen in scoring last season with 26 points (14 goals, 12 assists). Bouchard was also the only player on the Union roster to score ten or more goals last season.
Amongst the returning players that the Dutchmen will be counting on to help boost the team's offensive numbers are sophomore Augie DiMarzo and junior Josh Coyle. DiMarzo finished second on the team in scoring with 23 points (seven goals, 16 assists). Coyle, who was limited to just 17 games last season due to failing to meet Union College's academic standards after the first trimester, finished with 18 points (nine goals, nine assists). The Brooklyn, OH native looks to have gotten his academic situation straightened out and the Dutchmen are hoping that Coyle's offensive production will be better as well.
One newcomer who could provide some much-needed offense and worth watching this season is Andrew Estey. The Fredericton, NB native is a power forward with great offensive potential and known for being able to step up in big games.
Yale University
(Number of NHL prospects on 2006-07 roster: 5)
After 28 years, the Tim Taylor era has come to an end at Yale University. Thus begins a new era of Bulldogs hockey as former Eli Keith Allain takes over the head coaching duties this season. With that, Yale will have lots to look forward to when the 2006-07 season gets underway on Oct. 27 hosting Holy Cross.
What the Elis weren't prepared for however was the unexpected departure of forward David Meckler (LA) to the OHL's London Knights.
"I was very surprised and very disappointed. We were expecting big things from David this season," said Yale associate head coach C.J. Marottolo. "Keith (Allain) and I had several talks with David and his family about the pros and cons of staying at Yale, but David decided that leaving Yale was his best option."
Then came the incident that happened last week when senior Brad Mills along with sophomore forward Matt Nelson and starting goaltender Alec Richards (also a sophomore) were all arrested following an early morning fight outside a downtown New Haven market. Depending upon the disciplinary actions that may be taken against the players, being without them could have a huge impact on the team, particularly where Richards is concerned.
Richards turned in an excellent year in goal for Yale last season in spite of an 8-15-3 record. Richards posted respectable numbers in save percentage (.912) and goals against average (3.02). What makes the numbers more impressive is the fact that he did it facing an average of nearly 31 shots per game. Should Richards be unable to go, the starting job will likely fall to senior Matt Modelski. Modelski saw action in just three games last season, posting a record of 1-1-0. Outstanding newcomer Billy Blasé will be giving Modelski quite a challenge for playing time this season as well.
Yale looks very strong up front, but will need to find a way to generate more offense this season. The team ranked 37th in the nation in offense last season, scoring an average of 2.70 goals per game. Among the stellar core of forwards returning are junior Jean Francois-Boucher and sophomores Michael Karwoski and Patrick Brosnihan (PHX). The hard-hitting Boucher returns as the team's top scorer from last season with 23 points (13 goals, 10 assists) and was one of two Yale players that posted ten or more goals. The energetic Karwoski led all Elis rookies with 17 points (four goals, 13 assists) and earned the Ivy League Rookie of the Year honor. Brosnihan played in just 19 games last season, posting one point (an assist). Marottolo feels that Brosnihan is poised for a breakout year this season.
"Pat has an unbelievable work ethic and lots of skill. He really worked hard this summer to increase his quickness and has worked a lot in the weight room as well," said Marottolo. "Pat is someone that we project to be a big time player for us. We feel that he's primed for that so hopefully he'll get there this year."
The predominantly young Yale defense should be much improved this season under the leadership of senior and team captain Matt Cohen and junior Rob Page (CBJ). Cohen finished last year with seven points (four goals, three assists). Despite missing time due to an upper body injury early last season, Page posted six points (all assists) and eventually became one of Yale's most reliable defensemen. Now healthy and stronger, the Bulldogs are expecting Page to become one of their best two-way defensemen this season.

Project Description
An emphasis on safety and loss prevention is core to the club's drive in ensuring that the tonnage entered into the club is of good quality
In addition, the club is committed to assisting members in reducing the incidence of accidents and claims. This is achieved through a programme of ship condition surveys, management risk reviews, publications, presentations and training focussed on topical subjects.
The club's rules allow that every ship entered into the club is made available to be surveyed by the club to ensure that the entered tonnage is of good quality .
Surveys are generally carried out:
- On all newly entered ships over specified years old by clubs
- On entered ships over specified years old and for which a heavy fuel oil declaration has been made
- On a routine basis for entered ships, depending on fleet size/type/age and the member's record
- As a result of a port state control detention

CBOT Holdings, the parent of the Chicago Board of Trade, said Monday its board has authorized the company, on the basis permitted by its merger agreement with Chicago Mercantile Exchange Holdings, to begin merger talks with IntercontinentalExchange.
CBOT said its merger agreement with Chicago Mercantile Exchange remains in effect, and that its board has not withdrawn or modified its recommendation that stockholders vote to approve the deal.
Last week, Atlanta-based IntercontinentalExchange made an unsolicited offer to merge with the parent of the Chicago Board of Trade in a deal valued at nearly $10 billion. Based on the closing share price the day before the deal was announced, ICE's offer was 10.5% higher than the offer for CBOT submitted last October by CME.
CBOT shareholders are scheduled to vote on the CME offer on April 4.
The CBOT said it would not comment further on ICE's proposal until its board and its special transaction committee had completed a review.
Earlier on Monday, ICE suggested that a definitive deal with the Board of Trade could be completed quickly.
"We are confident that ... we can complete our review and be in a position to execute a definitive transaction agreement within one week," ICE chief executive Jeffrey Sprecher said in a release.
Sprecher will hold a meeting in Chicago on Wednesday to discuss the ICE proposal, which would join the CBOT to the upstart energy derivatives exchange.
In late trading at the New York Stock Exchange, ICE shares were at $128.55, up $2.17, or 1.7%. CBOT was up $6.21, or 3.3%, at $196.19, and CME shares were up $1.32, or 0.25%, at $528.32.

Daniel Bailey, an independent mortgage adviser from North Derbyshire, has bagged one of the financial industry's most prestigious awards.
Bailey, director of Middleton Finance, has been crowned as the Mortgage Adviser of the Year in the 2017 Unbiased Media Awards.
The awards, there to celebrate the work of financial advisers and journalists who promote the value of advice, are open to more than 26,000 independent financial advisers. Bailey was one of 14 industry professionals to be honoured at the awards ceremony held in Central London.
This was the fifth successive year Bailey had been shortlisted for the award, but this time he fought off the competition from five other mortgage advisers to be named the winner by a panel of financial journalists.
"I am delighted to win the award," Bailey said. "It is fantastic to be recognised for my contribution and opinions in the media on the mortgage market. With more than 75% of all mortgages being organised through a mortgage broker today, there is increasing demand for my services from the media, particularly for comment that is jargon-free and decodes an increasingly complicated and changing industry."
Bailey founded Middleton Finance in 2009 and has become a regular face in local and national media for comment and opinion on mortgage matters in recent years.
"Getting a mortgage to buy a home is easier to get than many people think," Bailey added. "After 15 years in the industry I still get a buzz from finding exactly the right mortgage for my customers. Buying a property remains one of life's biggest decisions, and it's a rare privilege to play a part in helping people realise their hopes and aspirations."

Impact of Patient's Real-Time Visualization during Flexible Cystoscopy: Randomized Controlled TrialP Prasanchaimontri*, S Tritipwanit, T Prachapinyo
Department of Surgery, Ratchaburi Hospital, Ratchaburi 70000, Thailand; Phone: +66-32-719600 ext. 1363; Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Objective: To compare the difference in pain score between the patients who visualized their flexible cystoscopy finding on the video monitor and those who did not view the procedure.
Materials and Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted at Ratchaburi Hospital between December 2017 and February 2018. Forty male patients undergoing flexible cystoscopy were randomized into two groups. Group A patients
(n = 20) were allowed to view their procedure real-time on the video monitor. Group B patients (n = 20) were unable to view the video monitor. All patients recorded their pain on a visual analog scale (VAS) ranging from 0 to 10 after completing the procedure.
The blood pressure and pulse were also recorded five minutes before the procedure and immediately after the procedure.
Results: The pain score on the VAS in group A was statistically significantly lower than that in group B (1.0 (0, 2.0) vs. 3.0 (1.0, 5.0), p=0.004). There was no statistically significant difference in the post-procedure systolic blood pressure and pulse between the two groups.
Conclusion: Real-time visualization of flexible cystoscopy finding in male patients made the procedure less painful on the VAS. Therefore, the authors highly recommend this useful technique during flexible cystoscopy.

All actions are propaganda. All of them. For example, by writing these words in English, I am asserting, intentionally or not, that English is a medium in which to share thoughts with others. This is such an uncontroversial statement about English that it hardly seems worth making, but if I'd written the first sentence in Esperanto it would be clearer that I am pushing towards something. But even in English I am pushing towards something.
It works like this. Let's say you get in a car and put on your seatbelt. You may claim that all you're doing is putting on a seatbelt and asserting nothing. You are, of course, asserting something like: "I choose to put a seatbelt on when riding in a car," which isn't much. It isn't much because it's already normal. Forty years ago, putting a seatbelt on was more of an assertion. Get in a car and put a motorcycle helmet on, you'll be making more of an assertion. Wearing a seatbelt is already normalized, but when you put a seatbelt on you are nevertheless casting your vote to keep it normalized.
There's an old trick I was shown in my high school days (not in high school, obviously): When you walk into someone else's house, if you wipe your feet, everyone who enters after you will wipe his or her feet, even if the feet don't need it. Usually, at other times and unless it's muddy out, no one's wiping feet, but whether wiping your feet is normal or not is ambiguous enough that you can personally tip everyone's behavior towards your own, temporarily. You can't make people copy you in whatever you want; if you spit on the floor on entering someone else's house, the people behind you are not going to spit on the floor, too. But if enough people spit on enough floors, it would be normal, and then people would do it.
The only thing we learn is what's normal.
Everyone knows this, more or less, but we tend to ignore the implications. A friend of mine once said, "I believe in divorce, but not for me"; she meant that she supported the right of people to get divorced, but she very much wanted not to get divorced herself. This is something we should never say! Every person who gets divorced makes it more likely that you will get divorced. A hundred years ago, when divorce was rare, spouses who did not get along were more likely to butch it out, to try other solutions, to separate unofficially. The more common divorce gets, the more likely you, or your partner, will think of it as a solution.
(Of course, divorce used to be more difficult, too, and not merely rarer, and this could have contributed to discouraging divorce; but the more common something is, the more likely people will lobby to make it easier, the more likely industries will spring up to help streamline the process.)
This isn't bad, of course; I'm not saying divorce is bad, I'm not John the Baptist. I'm just saying that if you don't want to get divorced, it does not make sense to encourage or condone the practice. In fact, if you want to keep from getting divorced, you might want to shame divorcees, like a Mad Men character.
Statistics that appear not to affect you, such as the divorce rate, certainly affect you, and also everyone you love. Any behavior you don't like but decide to tolerate, none-of-my-business style, is actually your business.
Every person who gets a tattoo makes it more likely that your children will get tattoos. Every person with a big distending disk in their lip makes it more likely that your children will get a big distending disk in their lip. You may not care about tattoos (you probably don't if you're reading this), but think of something that annoys you, a hipster man-bun or bell bottoms or something. Every person you see with a man-bun increases the odds of other people having man-buns, until it hits a critical mass and everyone has man-buns and you look like a crybaby for griping, like a 1969 hardhat yelling, "Get a haircut, you hippie!"
Every person named Brooklyn or Khaleesi makes it more likely that your grandchildren will be named Brooklyn or Khaleesi, or even that your children will be named Brooklyn or Khaleesi; even if you dislike the names Brooklyn or Khaleesi, or dislike what they signal, the more people who get these names the more they will start to sound like "normal" names, like Janet or Melissa, the more you will get inured to them over time, and then you might have to fight with your spouse over the names. If you meet someone with a "freakish" name that annoys you, like the character Beautifull from You Got Served, and you say, "No one's to blame for their own name," you are shooting yourself in the foot. You just voted to have a daughter named Beautifull, with an extra L.
Every person is just one vote, of course, and any given vote is unlikely to change anything. But when everyone believes "my vote doesn't count," we get President Trump (and possibly Brexit?).
This means that tolerating other opinions is counterproductive. When you tolerate anything you don't like you are working against yourself. When you tolerate music you don't like, you are helping art shift into a direction you neither understand nor can appreciate, and soon every time you go to a diner they're playing Kelly Clarkson, and you've already lost your appetite.
Even minor annoyances and disagreements are certainly points for a rival demographic that, after all, wants to subjugate and destroy yours as certainly as yours wishes to subjugate and destroy it.
You may not be able to do anything about it, which is why all the New Yorker cartoons in the world saying "this is just noise" couldn't stop rock and roll from catching on. You may get outvoted. But at least those New Yorker cartoons voted!
I know I've argued in the past that tolerance is nonsense, but I nevertheless think tolerance is a virtue. And yet it is a self-defeating, dysgenic virtue. This is both horrible and inescapable.
The next time I see someone declaring war on dissent, the next time I see someone persecuting difference, the next time an apparently minorly unpopular opinion meets with termination, in other words the next time I look at the internet, I should probably remind myself that they're only behaving rationally, and that if they were to stop they would only be outcompeted and destroyed by someone else.
I don't even know how we made it this far.

Personal Thoughts…
I was drawn in by the cover, and honestly thought it was a simple story about a girl and her dog. It was so much more. The little girl on the front is Cally {5th grader}, and in the first pages we learn that her mother recently died, and her Dad is not handling it well at all. Things are intense emotionally right from the beginning, also revealing that Cally can "see" her dead mother. Cally goes on to befriend a boy who cannot see and is mostly deaf, a homeless man, and a homeless dog. Cally does not speak for about 30 days in the story and much of the story centers around this also.
The end is a tear jerker and leaves you with a smile, tying the whole story together. Personally due to some of the issues discussed in this book, I think 5th grade is about right for my kids. I may read it aloud to Ladybug {currently 2nd grade} earlier than that, but not this year as I had planned. It will be on Krash's 5th grade reading list if he chooses to read it.
Leveled Reading Systems Explained
- Interest Level: 3-6
- Grade Level Equivalent: 3.8
- Lexile Measure: 660L
- DRA Level: 40
- Guided Reading Level: Q
Personally I say ages 10-12 for most kids and even then reading with a parent might be best so some of the heavier issues {death, seeing her dead mom, Cally not speaking, etc.} can be discussed.

The Yarera Bloodline, later known as the Yarera Family[note 1], was the lineage descended from Yarera of the Venom Mercenaries. Acting as common criminals for over a century, the lineage eventually became a prestigious family of businessmen native to Elphegort.
History[edit | edit source]
Early History[edit | edit source]
During the late fifth century EC, Yarera and his brother Zusco lived in Asmodean and took up work as mercenaries, joining the Venom Mercenaries led by Gast Venom. At some point, Yarera sired a child. After the group was hired by the Kingdom of Lucifenia in EC 500, the two brothers served in Rolled before being defeated by the Lucifenian Resistance.[1] Becoming pirates afterward, Yarera and Zusco attacked the Royal Victoricia before they and their ship was sunk by a giant ziz tiama.[2]
Crime and Coin[edit | edit source]
Yarera's lineage continued through Yarera II, leading to Yarera III and Zusco Jr. taking up a life of crime in Rolled. In EC 606, the two thugs attempted to kidnap Lemy Abelard before being intercepted by Constable Ayn Anchor and forced to retreat.[3] Sometime after, the lineage adopted "Yarera" as a surname and later established the Yarera-Zusco Firm in Elphegort, becoming wealthy merchants.
Sometime during the EC 800s, the president of the firm sired a son, Kiji. The young man was later assigned to manage the company's branch in Jakoku. In spring of EC 842, Kiji impregnated Miku Miroku before her death later that year, contributing heavily to the murder investigation.[4]
Over the centuries, the family's business flourished, becoming a massive conglomerate by the 10th century EC. At some point, a woman married into the family, becoming president of the conglomerate and siring two children, Gusuma and Mira. Later on, Gusuma became deputy head of the conglomerate while Mira was employed at the USE Dark Star Bureau. In EC 962, Mira birthed a daughter, Michelle, before marrying the child's father, Gallerian Marlon, the following year.[5]

Tell us a little about yourself and what you do for a living?
For the past 11 years I have been working with Electronic Arts as an interactive sound designer on a total of 47 games on 12 gaming platforms so far. My background came from audio Post-Production and theatrical live sound.
What is your niche or speciality that makes you stand out from rest of the audio professionals?
I really like coming up with modular audio designs that will provide audio interactivity on multiple platforms.
I have been working with the audio side of game consoles since the PS2 days so I am use to creating the illusion of complex audio behaviour even with heavy restrictions on ram and streaming resources (still relevant now with mobile game audio development)
Can you give us a brief summary of the equipment you use regularly?
I use a lot of EA propriety tools for integration but for recording I'm a big fan of the Sound Devices 788t. As far as microphones go my favourite is the Crown Sass-P MKII, for ambient sounds it just sounds so much like the human perception of space.
What are your go-to plug-ins and software? (Virtual instruments, audio processing etc.)
Native Instruments Reaktor is amazing for prototyping audio designs, I use Kontakt as well. For DAW's my favourite is Reaper and Sound Forge since they are so agile.
Some might question why this gear list is so short but here is why, game sound is really about designing many small audio elements that play nicely together so a lot is happening at run-time not at the source level. I think of a XBOX 360 or PS3 as a really cool sample playback workstation… game triggers are like the sequence and the sound effects are like the musical sounds of a common sampler.
When do you find you are most creative?
I love brainstorming with creative directors since I have a lot of visual skills as well; we can talk about audio not just for the sake of audio but rather what a great video game feature would be accented by audio.
What is your usual process for creating audio content for games, films etc.?
It all starts with the thought of fun, how can we make a feature that is truly interactive, one that catches a user off-guard with its attention to detail.
Next I will build a prototype in Reaktor or the like so I can nail down the theory of how to make the audio element feel like it is alive and responding to the user's actions. Raw source is commonly recorded to work with, though sometimes it starts with pre-existing source.
Then I will spend some time with the designers and software engineers testing out the theory for the fun factor, as a group we discuss how to efficiently tie the feature into commands from the game. I'll work with the software engineers to build the framework and then take on the task of reconstructing the feature with the game engine when the game is at a point in development to support it.
If the feature requires new original sound I will go record what is needed during this part of production, along with the editing and mastering of the new sounds.
The final process involves a lot of tuning and refinement especially as the game nears its last stage in development.
Are there any particular secrets to your creativity?
Being open minded to creative influence outside your discipline; there have been a number of times a software engineer will suggest a different mechanic in how the sound becomes interactive and often those ideas turn into something far more grand than the original intention. At one point in our history we wrote and entire audio run-time engine on such discussions.
Do you have any audio creation techniques that resulted in something interesting?
Early in my gaming career I was quite fascinated with "Shepard Tones". For those of you who don't know what that is basically it's a stacked set of sound waves – each one an octave apart that pitch bend over a short time to the octave above it (think of the swirling stripes on a barbershop pole rotating around). Like the barber shop pole analogy the sound seems to forever rise in pitch. When used in a video game the "Shepard Tone" gives a false illusion of ever-increasing speed or intensity. I used it at the core of the "Super Speed" sound in the "Superman Returns" video game as well as the "drafting effect" in the "NASCAR" race games; "Shepard Tones" stacked with whooshes and other air displacement effects sound incredible.
Any specific "lessons learned" on a project that you could share?
I have had many "lessons learned" in my career but most relevant was the request for mass crowd chants. Being in sports there is always this need for hundreds or thousands of people chanting or yelling something. The long story short on this is that while tack-stacking, overdubbing and spatial effects do wonders for many sound types, there is just no great way to fake this. When at all possible go get the real thing, especially crowd sounds… there is a presence, an energy and a wonderful resonate tone that comes from mass crowds hyped up …it's a completely different type of sound than a small group of people.
I should also say on this subject, you don't know the energy of a crowd until your standing on a football field hearing the entire stadium focus that sound down on you…it is truly an awesome audio experience.
Any tips, hints or motivational speeches for the readers?
In whatever you do, if you want to be successful be persistent and enthusiastic. Be open to learn and unafraid to set aside anything you previously know. To truly be creative you must get rid of the perception that there is a single way to make it happen or that even you yourself are the only one able to make your dream come to life.
Gear does not equal talent, not any more than fancy cookwear makes a gourmet chef. The most important item to own is the vision for what you wish to create…rent everything else.

The 13 Qualities that Define a Man
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post called 5 Ridiculous Things Women Expect of Men. While this post was largely written in jest, a commenter by the name of Mara explained that in her opinion the first three items on the list showed a "lack of manliness." To support her claim, she provided a link to The 13 Marks of Manhood by Dr. Albert Mohler. Using the bible for reference, Dr. Mohler cites 13 marks of manhood. I decided to share the list with the SBM Family today for discussion.
1. Spiritual maturity sufficient to lead a wife and children.
2. Personal maturity sufficient to be a responsible husband and father.
3. Economic maturity sufficient to hold an adult job and handle money.
4. Physical maturity sufficient to work and protect a family.
5. Sexual maturity sufficient to marry and fulfill God's purposes.
6. Moral maturity sufficient to lead as example of righteousness.
7. Ethical maturity sufficient to make responsible decisions.
8. Worldview maturity sufficient to understand what is really important.
9. Relational maturity sufficient to understand and respect others.
10. Social maturity sufficient to make a contribution to society.
11. Verbal maturity sufficient to communicate and articulate as a man.
12. Character maturity sufficient to demonstrate courage under fire.
13. Biblical maturity sufficient to lead at some level in the church.
What are your thoughts on these 13 marks of manhood? What qualities would you remove from the list, if any? What qualities would you add? You can read the full justification behind each of Dr. Albert Mohler's marks of manhood by clicking here.
Good Job Wisdom! Good Job!
So if I understand it right, maturity is when a man (or woman ) does what the bible asks of 'hem. Then I and a lot of people like me who don't follow the bible like that may very positively never be mature.
#1, #2 , #5 and in #4
Is a responsible unmarried and childless adult male mature? Not according to those lines.
Is a man who chooses another man as a life partner mature? Definitely not according to what the bible thinks is MORAL.
it's definitely a BS list.
My recent post Street Fighter x Mega Man Trailer
sorry for the duplicate but:
Wow that is what you take out of this? How do you define:
The 13 types of Maturity (you may leave the 13th one out)?
Understanding maturity?
I take it you do realize that being mature in those 12-13 ways would make you a great father, husband and man in general right? If not what isn't necessary and why? Would you have been a happier child and your mother a happier woman/mother/wife if your adjusted list would be your father? Or would the list as is be the better option? I would like to know how (and if ) you think about this.
I guess it also depends on what you consider as male maturity. I consider wanting a family as a sign of maturity, because I believe it is a natural process in every human being. That makes me judgmental when someone else who has your definition of maturity, does not want kids. However we are free to believe what we want. I always say that it's best to only date someone who believes in the same definition of maturity. So I try to find out how a man defines maturity (and how he shows that in his behaviour) before going beyond a kiss.
The biblical and reproduction mandates have to go. You can still be a man without reproducing or practicing a religion. Some people don't want children or religion in their lives. Whenever one or the other is forced upon them it usually has disastrous results (deadbeat dad & religious hypocrite).
Oh relax…geez louise! It still depends on your morals whether or not your religious…
If you don't want children then be kind and mentor the kids…our lives are still not our own.
"our lives are still not our own."
Only if that's what you believe.
LMAO. oh sh*t.
Basically a man is not a man if he doesn't cater to women & cater to the church.
Shoot me! Shoot me now!
I understand where that mangina of a Doctor was going. But I'll pass. Appreciate the advice

I'm not presuming to know you as a person at all, and I do try to be objective when reading your posts/replies, BUT based solely on the overwhelming majority of your posts, you really seem to absolutely ABHOR women. It doesn't matter what the post is about, you always find a way to make it into an opportunity to denigrate women. Why is that? If your desire is to be as antagonistic as possible simply for shits and giggles…it's beyond trite.
If you're a Christian, this is accurate and expected. If you're not, then there are different ways to show spiritual, personal, physical, etc. maturity. What that is, I don't know because I usually date men who at least have a belief in God…whatever you believe though does guide maturity and interactions with people. So yeah, insert your own into the list that apply if this doesn't fit you.
At a base level, yeah, but like somebody said above what if you're a Christian who believes in (or practices) homosexuality? According to this list your maturity is in question. There are so many principles that are preached in Christianity that I question, let alone disagree with. Does that make me not a Christian or a bad Christian? Does it make me immature for not diving blindly into this?
My recent post Learn About "the Other" Algebra
WIM I'm so pleased that you posted this. These comments are interesting. Of course if you don't base your life off of the Bible you wont subscribe to some of the items.
As for the claims that the "unmarried" and "childless" would not be mature according to the author I would suggest they take another look at the wording. He said SUFFICIENT TO. Not saying that you MUST marry and MUST have children to be mature. but that you MUST be at the maturity level to be ABLE to do those things.
I would like to add that it's important to remember that maturity takes time and effort. If I see someone working to become mature in these areas I will get behind you 100% even if you're not all the way there yet.
He did say sufficient to, but there's no stated knowledge base that says that "you are now sufficient to lead a wife and children".
Isn't that a blatantly sexist statement too? I wonder if the list of qualities that define a woman include having the spiritual maturity sufficient to LEAD a husband and children? I wonder if they use the Bible as their example to say that a woman should have the spiritual maturity to FOLLOW a husband?
And that still doesn't get to the obvious question of what spiritual maturity is and why its necessary to have a family.
My recent post Learn About "the Other" Algebra
@AfterMath At least, I know you will dissecting this bullish today.
This list sounds like trying to tell a man to be great to someone's arbitary specifications, and then he must be enslaved to support a family. Too much fun.
I believe that it is good advice if you take religion out and replace it with a combination of commitment, reliability and compasion. Then you get :
1. Spiritual maturity sufficient to lead a wife and children.
Spirituality doesn't have to come with religiousness
2. Personal maturity sufficient to be a responsible husband and father.
3. Economic maturity sufficient to hold an adult job and handle money.
4. Physical maturity sufficient to work and protect a family.
5. Sexual maturity sufficient to marry and fulfill purposes that come with compasion, reliability and commitment.
6. Moral maturity sufficient to lead as example of righteousness (define by the person himelf)
7. Ethical maturity sufficient to make responsible decisions (responsibility being defined by yourself)
8. Worldview maturity sufficient to understand what is really important (importance being defined by yourself)
9. Relational maturity sufficient to understand and respect others
10. Social maturity sufficient to make a contribution to society.
11. Verbal maturity sufficient to communicate and articulate as a man
12. Character maturity sufficient to demonstrate courage under fire
13. General maturity to be able to take the lead in your own life by living according to the morals and values you believe in and expect from others.
I like this list better, however I rather cater to MULTIPLE women, I am shareable.
I don't believe in that
I agree . For the most part, if you take out the religious undertone ( even if you don't want a child or marriage ) the character traits mentioned in the post are definitely 13 qualities / marks of manhood.
Great list and great words of wisdom.
I don't see a problem with a list that says in order to be the best person u can possibly be in every aspect of your life you should be mature.
What folks are missing is the fact that maturity isn't so much defined by what you've done or haven't done in your life. Those may qualify as examples of what a mature person does, however imo maturity is defined by your actions, how you handle the worst situations and circumstances, and your mentality. If you think and act like someone who has lived 30 or 40 plus years and should know right from wrong and conduct themselves accordingly.
Its a bunch of abstract stuff that to me is total BS. Sure it sounds good to say these things, but unless you can convince me of what they mean is I'm not buying. I mean what are these levels of maturity? Who sets them and where's final exam to determine my qualifications? Basically its like saying that if I haven't led a wife and children, then I don't know that I'm spiritually mature. And what is an "adult job"? Is that just a stab at part time workers or something? What is God's purpose, has somebody got a text I didn't get, or just some "understanding" of the Bible that so many have debated over for centuries.
Maybe I'm just salty but this is the same type of stuff they used to preach to me in college that sounds nice, but the minute I say "yeah" all of a sudden I find out that I've bitten off way more than I wanted to and joined some secret society or something.
In my opinion, there's one quality that defines a man and its what's between your legs, or that Y chromosome if you want to be scientific about it.
My recent post Learn About "the Other" Algebra
AfterMath unless your agnostic if u want to know Gods purpose for your life simply as him through prayer.
The bible is meant to be our guidebook and example of how to live in such a way that will fulfill God's divine purpose for our lives.
See, that's one of my problems with "the church". I'm a deeply Christian man, but to act like if I ask God something through prayer that the Heavens will just part and hear the indistinguishable Voice of the Lord is just crazy. I haven't heard that voice yet, and at times when I thought I heard that "voice", people who once told me that that voice was that of God, later told me that "oh, that was just somebody impersonating God". I'm like, I wish you woulda told me that before I wasted all this time based on a this "voice" (and said person's advice regarding this "voice") .
I should probably stop in this topic because I can really sound like an anti-Christian dude sometimes and thats not what I am. I'm just not for a lot of propaganda that tries to classify people, and in particular classify Christians into categories like "you're a good person and you are not".
Ima leave this one alone though because religion in general is a sensitive topic and especially where I'm in an online forum format where I can't be as descriptive as I'd like to be, I'm gonna just let this one go.
My recent post Learn About "the Other" Algebra
AfterMath all I can say is u have to know God for yourself. Take other people out of the equation and get to know him personally on your own. Don't let anyone tell you what God's voice sounds like to you, only you can know that.
God is a spirit, so you have to hear him spiritually, of course u won't hear him as physically as you hear the person next to you talking. If you seek God you will find him, just like if you seek evil then you will find that as well.
Probably gonna be lit up for this, but…
There's bound to be agreement and disagreement with this list. If you're a believer in the Bible, it makes perfect sense. If you're not, then it will likely rub you the wrong way.Now that that's out the way, my take on it.
Personally, I feel like it's an apt list. The maturing process takes a lifetime. If the men who subscribe to the points on the list are working toward a level of spiritual maturity that comes from following Biblical precepts. It's a challenge to men. In truth, not many of us want to be challenged. We search for the pasth of least resistance, like water flowing. Some, not all, say they want a "good woman", yet continue to fall for/go after women who are the antithesis of that. And women do the same in regards to men. There has to be standards somewhere. Instead of finding the easiest way, diligence may be beneficial. If it takes diligently working toward a standard, in this case a Biblical one, what's so wrong with that?
Sure, claims of patriarchy will be made, just as claims the Bible is outdated. Yet, it does provide a template for us to live by. I'm not saying that everyone will agree with it, but maybe instead of shooting it down as antiquated and out of touch, we, men especially, should really see what is says about being a man.
Exactly Darrk. Cosign
Ahem…Amen, and I'm not a 'devout Christian" (or even go to church…) but based on your explanation/perspective/viewpoint on the list, I agree. I think the list represents a valid process for maturing – in this case, spiritual maturing, and I don't think there is anything wrong with working towards that standard…. and thumbs up to WisdomIsMisery for posting it.
so basically, cats gotta be perfect? lol…
Nah. That's just it. People get it misconstrued. Ascribing to the aforementioned list, and/or Bible isn't about perfection. It's about working toward a standard that God put forth. We will never be perfect. The maturity that is called for is no different than, for example, not doing at 25, what we did at 18. It's about improving and not doing the same things. It's the thought, "when you know better, we (in theory should) do better.
Very valid points.
Nobody is perfect Streetz, however we all should strive for perfection in every aspect of our lives, not just a few like our careers. We should strive to be the very best we can be as parents, spouses, lovers, friends, sons, daughters, and every other area of life.
I'm wondering why people seem to have a problem with morally and ethically doing the right thing and just living right.
This list seems very subjective…who determines what sufficient is? Sufficient for me may very well be insufficient for the next young lady. Two women sitting in church together can have two totally different ideas of what is sufficient an still both be Christian. Sounds like someone's out there selling pipe dreams again that there can ever possibly be some concrete list that defines a mature man or woman. I say we scrap the whole list and people start thinking for themselves instead of looking for some quick/simple answer to a question that is hella (yes I said hella) complex. 🙂
Problem with people thinking for themselves Insomnia is that the very immature and childish people will go "ham" and do whatever they want and wreak havoc. The 10 commandments were established for a reason. All of them cover everything we should not do in order for us to maintain some semblance of peace and order in this world. If there was no order or discipline in this world whatsoever we would be going to hell in a handbasket a whole lot faster than what we are right now.
"The 10 commandments were established for a reason. All of them cover everything we should not do in order for us to maintain some semblance of peace and order in this world." Agree w/ that!
But I agree w/ Ms. IP…In the end to each their own.
#5 and #13 should be removed from the list.
the common theme in all of these that people seem to be missing is the word Maturity and what that means.
Maturity definition taken from Wikipedia – "Maturity is a psychological term used to indicate how a person responds to the circumstances or environment in an appropriate manner. This response is generally learned rather than instinctive, and is not determined by one's age. Maturity also encompasses being aware of the correct time and place to behave and knowing when to act appropriately, according to the circumstances and the culture of the society one lives in.[1] Adult development and maturity theories include the purpose in life concept, in which maturity emphasizes a clear comprehension of life's purpose, directedness, and intentionality which, contributes to the feeling that life is meaningful.[2]
The status of maturity is distinguished by a shift away from reliance on guardianship and the oversight of an adult in decision-making acts."
This is the point.
Nobody saying anything about discipline, honesty & self-sacrifice. Which is truly what defines a man. Interesting.
It would require to have discipline to accomplish everything on this list
1. Spiritual maturity sufficient to lead a wife and children. (It would take discipline and self-sacrifice)
6. Moral maturity sufficient to lead as example of righteousness. (It would take discipline and honesty)
The ability to read and follow a book according to what one particular man on earth & organization that you have to pay money to does not define you as a man. Get that church and bible crap out of here. Sexual maturity to marry and fulfill God's purpose? LOL .. silly. Morality and ethics go hand in hand they both fit into the honesty category combined with being a stand up guy. Are you the type of person to sell your own soul to gain the world or will you sacrifice your life for that of your family? What PRINCIPLES do you stand on as a man? That's more important

Just got back from walking to Rajadammern Stadium, an orientation trip in case I go there for a Muay Thai match after SteemFest has run its course. About 4 kilometers or so there and back (9,142 steps before noon including my walk earlier today, not bad at all but my Actifit app keeps crashing so that's a post not likely to happen.)
Once getting out of the immediate environs of the hotel and walking west on Thanon Krung Kasem, I was the only farang. Still getting the hang of crossing busy streets, I had a near-miss with a motorcycle.
A lot of little shops along the way, including tiny metal fabrication places:
You need to watch carefully where you step, in many places the individual pieces of concrete making up the sidewalks are cattywampus thanks to the roots of trees:
Saw quite a few cats along the way (most feral?), all fairly thin and small. A woman said meow to this little guy, maybe that's a universal onamapoetic word:
I somehow doubt that this refers to SCT tokens:
I saw several pay phones en route, none of them in use. Everyone seems to have a smart phone:
Made it to the stadium. Not surprisingly, it was closed in the morning, fights four nights per week:
It's across the street from the Royal Thai Army headquarters:
Not sure what's going on with this, in the parking lot of the Somanusviharn Temple:
Two hours before SteemFest registration starts, maybe I have time for another walk before things get underway.
