Around the Farm: Fogarty, Notre Dame eliminated from Frozen Four
Steven Fogarty (3rd round, 2011) and his Notre Dame Fighting Irish were eliminated from Frozen Four competition yesterday. The Irish were schooled by St. Cloud State by a score of 5-1 in the first round of the tournament. Fogarty was held off the scoreboard, and like Brady Skjei and Boo Nieves, will not be joining the Whale on ATOs, as that will count as a professional contract and...

All good things
Anders Lee
It is corny as heck but really all good things do come to an end as the Sunday report on New York Ranger and New York Islander prospects shows. But can someone please explain what is up with all the 1 and 2 seeds losing games in the WHL?

Anders Lee's (NYI 2009 6th) 20th goal of the season could not have been much bigger...

The CCHA Finals (Today, 2:05pm on MSG+) will have two Ranger prospects squaring off, as Boo Nieves’ (2012, 2nd) Michigan Wolverines will face Steven Fogarty’s (2011, 3rd) Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Michigan knocked off Miami of Ohio in the semi-finals, while Notre Dame took out Ohio State. Michigan needed a deep run in the CCHA tournament to qualify for the Frozen Four, and may...
Mind games
Cristoval Nieves (MGoBlue.com)
Saturday was another interesting day for New York Ranger and New York Islander prospects as the upset bug is still taking names. Players and coaches can swear all they want that they don't get affected by loud crowds, traditions or streaks but yes they all do play into the mind games that take place in hockey.
First Star The Michigan Wolverines...
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...
Around the Farm: Four prospects held off the scoreboard
The Rangers had four prospects in action last night in the NCAA and SEL (Boo Nieves, Steven Fogarty, Oscar Lindberg, Jesper Fasth), and all four were held off the scoreboard for their respective clubs. It’s also worth noting that Brady Skjei was held out of Minnesota’s 5-1 win. It was senior night in Minnesota, so it’s likely he was held out to make room for departing seniors...
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: Nieves, Fogarty, McColgan notch assists
Six prospects were in action last night for the Rangers, and three came back with points in their contests. Boo Nieves (2nd, 2012) and Steve Fogarty (3rd, 2011) each notched assists in their NCAA contests for Michigan and Notre Dame, respectively; and Shane McColgan (5th, 2011) notched a pair of assists for Saskatoon in the WHL. Other prospects in action last night were Brady Skjei...
ATF: Fogarty with a sick goal in losing effort
Steven Fogarty (2011, 3rd) made the highlight reels last night after his #Nashty goal for Notre Dame. Fogarty, who was drafted using the third round pick the Rangers got for Evgeny Grachev, received a pass at the blue line, dangled around a defenseman, then deked around the goalie for the goal. We have the video below for your amazement. The goal begins around the 2:00 mark of...
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...
Taking charge of destiny
Anders Lee
Saturday night was about teams trying to take control of their own destiny as New York Islander and New York Ranger prospects took to the ice jockeying for playoff positioning. This is the time of the year where we find out which players can handle the pressure of a playoff race.

It was a chance to do something that no Notre Dame...
Around the Farm: Fogarty’s Irish best Nieves’ Wolverines
Boo Nieves (2012, 2nd) squared off against Steven Fogarty (2011, 3rd) when Michigan faced Notre Dame last night. Fogarty’s Irish may have beaten Nieves’ Wolverines, but it was Nieves who bested Fogarty on the scoreboard. Nieves added a goal and an assist to his impressive totals, and now has a line of 4-3-7 in the past three games for Michigan. Fogarty was held off the scoreboard...
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...
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...
Around the Farm: J.T. Miller named to AHL All Star Team
Before the Whale went on to win last night’s game 4-1, rookie J.T. Miller was named to the AHL All Star Team. Miller will be the Whale’s lone representative, replacing Chad Kolarik, who was traded this week for Benn Ferriero.
Miller struggled out of the gate with the Whale, but has been much stronger since returning from the USA’s gold medal winning World Junior Championship...
Day off for prospects
Wow I guess I did not get the memo that had Friday night as a day off for the New York Ranger and the New York Islander prospects. There was not a whole lot to write home about and at this point in the season one could say that some players have "hit the wall" so let's see who can overcome the "wall."
Our College stat site broke down so sorry no stat links...
Missed their wakeup call
Anders Lee (Notre Dame)
It was the night before the NHL season started and nobody was stirring not even a New York Ranger's prospect. And that described the efforts of the Ranger prospects Friday night as few if any played well enough to write home about.
The New York Islander prospects had better efforts even if not all of them walked away with wins. Unlike the NHL, there...
Bad times are bad times
Tuesday are really harsh days for prospect hockey and for 2 teams with New York Ranger and New York Islander prospects they were even harsher.
First off, I have never been one to support these "sell tomorrow to win today" trades because in most cases they don't work and that makes the teams making the deals a double loser. Yet teams keep trying to make these deals...
Huh?
Andrey Pedan (OHL Images)
There are always times when covering New York Ranger or New York Islander prospects that leave a person going "Huh?" Tuesday evening provided one for me as I had to admit that some of the penalty calls in the game between Andrey Pedan (NYI 2011 3rd) and his Guelph Storm and the Kitchener Rangers had me scratching my head.
First the easy part...
Fogarty Snaps 7 Game Scoreless Streak
Jess Rubenstein at The Prospect Park reports that Steven Fogarty (2011 - 3rd) broke a seven game scoreless streak when he scored his fourth goal of the season during Notre Dame's 5-1 win over Michigan State last night (1:36 mark)...

Miller A Lock for USA World Jr. Team; Fogarty & Skjei Not So Much
Chris Peters at the United States of Hockey takes a look at the players vying for the likely 22 roster spots on the Team USA World Junior team which will be picked next month.
Peters feels that JT Miller is a lock to make the team at right wing, but Steven Fogarty (2011 - 3rd) is one of a number of players competing for the final center ice spot.
Finally Peters says this...
Around the Farm: Fogarty’s Irish best Nieves’ Wolverines
Last night, in a relatively rare televised NCAA game that featured two Ranger prospects, Steven Fogarty’s Notre Dame Fighting Irish bested Boo Nieves’ Michigan Wolverines by a score of 3-1. Both Nieves and Fogarty were held scoreless, but Nieves was on the ice for two of the Irish goals. Both teams will play again tonight in the second game of their back-to-back series.
