Around the Farm: Loss sends Ceresnak and Peterborough home
Peter Ceresnak now holds the dubious distinction of being the only Rangers prospect to miss the playoffs in his respective league. Ceresnak, a member of the OHL’s Peterborough Petes, lost their final game of the season last night to Brampton by a score of 5-2. The Petes missed the playoffs by a single point, and are one of four teams in the OHL to miss the playoffs. Ceresnak did...
And the clock ran out

St. Patrick's Day was not very lucky for the one New York Ranger and one New York Islander prospect who saw their season come to an unhappy ending. Not every prospect has a happy ending to their season or their dream of an NHL career.
Peter Ceresnak (NYR 11 6th) and his Peterborough Petes came up 1 win, 1 point short of making the OHL Eastern Conference...
Around the Farm: Thursday/Friday roundup
I had eye surgery on Friday, so I was unable to get the ATF yesterday. This post will cover all games played by the Rangers prospects on Thursday night and Friday night. Today’s (Saturday’s) games will be covered tomorrow, as per usual.
The playoffs –or playoff type scenarios– have begun for almost all of the Rangers prospects. Oscar Lindberg and Jesper Fasth have begun their...
Dull this evening wasn't
Shane McColgan (Saskatoon Blades)
Tuesday evening was one of those nights where if you had a weak heart then watching New York Ranger or New York Islander prospect hockey was not a good idea. Take your pick of the 3 games involving the prospects and yes you got your money's worth and then some.
The big one was in Edmonton as Michael St. Croix (NYR 11 4th), Griffin Reinhart...
Never a dull moment
Peter Ceresnak (OHL Images)
Boy if you want to talk about a really interesting last 7 days for the New York Ranger and New York Islander prospects then what will they do during this upcoming week for an encore? Depending on whether you are playing in the NCAA or the Canadian juniors; this week is "sudden death" or "new life" week for the prospects and their teams...
Around the Farm: Ceresnak only prospect in action last night
Peter Ceresnak, the Rangers 6th round pick in 2011, was the only prospect in action last night for the Rangers. Ceresnak’s Peterborough Petes of the OHL defeated the Kingston Frontenacs by a score of 4-1. Ceresnak was held off the scoreboard, but finished the game with a +1 rating. On the season Ceresnak, who is not a noted scorer, has a line of 1-8-9 in 52 games, but is also sporting...
The behind the scenes star
Jesse Graham (OHL Images)
It was the OHL in action on Thursday evening as 3 New York Islander and 1 New York Islander prospects saw action with all of them winding up with wins. The difference in tonight's games was the plays made by the secondary or "role" players
The Niagara IceDogs were heading south for most of the last month but after tonight's 4-3 shootout...
A much quieter evening
quiet please Cyrus is napping
The Thursday evening report was not as exciting as Wednesday's was for the New York Ranger and New York Islander prospects. In many ways it was a bit on the boring side as there wasn't a whole lot to cheer about.
It seems that in the QMJHL that nobody wants to win the Telus East Division as the Baie-Comeau Drakkar and the Rimouski Oceanic...
Around the Farm: Whale dominated in shutout loss
The Whale had another rough day yesterday, getting blown out by the Syracuse Crunch by a score of 4-0. Goaltending wasn’t the issue, as Talbot was solid again making 34 saves. Sometimes losses like this happen.
The only other prospect in action last night was Peter Ceresnak, who was held off the scoreboard in Peterborough’s 4-1 loss in the OHL.
Be sure to check after the jump...
Short and so-so
Andrey Pedan (OHL Images)
The only prospect action we had on Sunday involving New York Ranger or New York Islander prospects was in the OHL. Just 2 prospects saw action which 1 sitting out due to suspension.
Andrey Pedan (NYI 2011 3rd) and his Guelph Storm were hosting the Sudbury Wolves. Looking to rebound from being shut out on Saturday night, the Storm jumped on the Wolves...
Around the Farm: Rough night for the Ranger prospects
Almost all of the Rangers key prospects were in action last night, and almost all of them failed to make a dent on the score sheet. In fact, only Boo Nieves (2nd, 2012) of Michigan notched any sort of point, with two assists in Michigan’s 6-3 win over Western Michigan in the CCHA. The other 12 prospects in action were all left scoreless.
Be sure to check after the jump for the...
Around the Farm: The Swedes notch an assist each in wins
The Swedes (Oscar Lindberg, Jesper Fast) each notched an assist in their respective teams victories last night. Lindberg’s Skelleftea AIK won by a score of 9-1, while Fast(h)’s HV71 won by a score of 2-1. Fast was on the ice for both of his club’s goals.
The only other prospect in action last night was Peter Ceresnak, who notched an assist in his return to the lineup after...
O Oh no OHL
Peter Ceresnak (OHL Images)
Not exactly a very good night for any of the New York Islander prospects in action on Thursday evening but one New York Ranger prospect escaped the press box and got to play. The OHL gets all the attention as that was where all the prospect action took place.
Peter Ceresnak (NYR 2011 6th) was back in the Peterborough lineup after being a healthy scratch...
Around the Farm: McColgan, St. Croix notch multi point nights
Only two prospects were in action last night (both in the WHL), and both made an impact in their teams’ victories in a big way. Michael St. Croix notched a goal and two assists in Edmonton’s 6-0 victory, while Shane McColgan notched a goal and an assist in Saskatoon’s 5-1 win. For St. Croix, it was his second straight three-point game and his fourth multi point game in five...
Sometimes it doesn't show
Shane McColgan (Steve Hiscock)
Friday night prospect hockey was more about what you won't find on the scoresheet or even in the media reports as New York Ranger and New York Islander prospect help their teams jockey for playoff spots. In the case of one prospect, whether what he did on Friday will fire up his teammates remains to be seen but it was understandable why he did...
Around the Farm: Thomas nets three points in Whale win
Christian Thomas broke out in a big way last night, notching an empty net goal and two assists in the Whale’s 4-1 win over St. John’s. Thomas played on a line with Kelsey Tessier and Michael Haley, and the trio combined for six points, including scoring the game’s first two goals on back-to-back shifts. Thomas notched the primary assist on both goals. Thomas’ empty net goal...
Around the Farm: St. Croix nets three points in victory
Michael St. Croix continued his high scoring ways last night in Edmonton, leading the Oil Kings in the WHL to a 7-0 victory. St. Croix scored Edmonton’s second goal of the contest, and added two more assists in the win.
The only other prospect in action last night was Peter Ceresnak of Peterborough in the OHL. Peterborough got spanked last night by a score of 9-4, but Ceresnak...
Around the Farm: Three CHL prospects in action last night
Three prospects were in action last night, and all three participated in blowout wins for their respective clubs. Shane McColgan notched the third goal in Saskatoon’s 7-1 win over Prince Albert in the WHL. Peter Ceresnak finished with a +1 rating in Peterborough’s 10-6 victory over Ottawa in the OHL. Finally, Sam Noreau finished with a +2 rating in Baie-Comeau’s 8-4...
Around the Farm: Friday/Saturday recap; Nieves with a huge weekend
Sorry for not posting this yesterday. My plan was to have this up before the game, but my car died and I had to wait for a jump. By the time I got in, the game had started. To make up for it, this post will cover both Friday and Saturday.
Boo Nieves, the Rangers second round pick in 2012, had a great weekend in Michigan’s sweep of Michigan State. In the first game, Nieves had two...
A "boo" tiful performance
"Boo" Nieves (MGoBlue.com)
It has been a while but Friday night had some pretty good performances from the New York Ranger and New York Islander prospects. Perhaps the best reason to like Friday night was that those performances came from players on teams that badly needed wins.
Tonight's First Star Cristoval "Boo" Nieves Michigan Wolverines
The Michigan...
Around the Farm: Whale win third straight entering All Star break
The Connecticut Whale won their third straight game last night, finally beating the Springfield Falcons by a score of 3-2. This was the Whale’s third straight win, moving them into second place, behind the Falcons, in the division. Christian Thomas netted another goal, giving him nine on the season. This gives him the highest total among rookies on the Whale, and the third highest...

Sorry hockey never left just the NHL did
Mitchell Theoret (Barrie Colts)
Actually the word is not sorry but a word I can't use here in response to the NHL's claiming that hockey is back. Memo to Gary Bettman but hockey was going on quite well without the league that is responsible for giving the sport of hockey more embarrassments and black eyes than any other league.
Hockey was going on as witnessed by the...
Shaking up things
Shane McColgan (Saskatoon Blades)
It was a super active trade deadline day in the CHL but only one New York Islander prospect moved but one New York Ranger prospect saw his team make big moves. The CHL had thought about changing their trade deadline day because of the NHL opening their own trading camps as soon as this weekend.
Not knowing put teams into tough choices but the...
USA destroys Slovakia, advances to medal round
J.T. Miller Team USA routed Peter Ceresnak and Team Slovakia by a score of 9-3, propelling USA to the medal round and eliminating Slovakia from competition. Miller finished the contests with two assists, 2 PIMs, a +2 rating, three shots on goal, and 14 face offs won (out of 18 total).
