WHICH NESCACs DID THE BEST IN RECRUITING FOR 2012-13?

Something to get everyone thinking about the fact that the first NESCAC hockey game of the season season is just seven short weeks away.

It is time to rate this year’s class of incoming NESCAC players! These ratings are intended to provide a rough comparative assessment of the incoming class of hockey players for each NESCAC school and give a sense as to which programs have done the best job in making up for graduation losses. Please let us know via a comment if we missed any prospects so we can add their names to the database and adjust our school-based ratings of recruits accordingly.

These ratings are based on likely impact players and are primarily a reflection of past achievements and their context (level of competition). They do not take into account intangibles or difficult-to-assess matters like potential to improve or fit with a school’s particular style of play or coaching philosophy. By their nature, they tend to be biased slightly in favor of junior hockey products as statistics are readily available and tell a more reliable and consistent story than do prep hockey stats.

The top two rated incoming classes—Amherst and Middlebury—are very close but we’re going to go with Amherst based on the extraordinary quality of its incoming class. If this were a numbers-based decision, the no. 1 spot would go to Middlebury (14 versus 8) but Amherst, with a definite edge in experience and quality of its recruits, has perhaps the strongest incoming class since we have been monitoring the NESCAC recruiting process (three premier forwards, the best goal tender in New England prep hockey, and two solid defensemen).

Amherst’s incoming class should go a long way toward helping the Amherst faithful get over 2012 graduation losses, with several impact forwards and a superb goalie. If anything, Middlebury has recruited even more aggressively than Amherst due to the gaping holes in its line-up caused by the loss of almost all of its offense to graduation. Most noticeable among the Middlebury recruits is the group of four outstanding new defensemen, several of whom look to be versatile enough to play up front if needed.

Falling behind the Amherst and Middlebury at the no. 3 spot is Trinity, with several good new scorers and an excellent goalie. There is not much to distinguish between the no. 4 ranked class (Tufts) from the no. 8 ranked class (Williams) or the three schools in between (Conn College, Wesleyan, and Bowdoin) except for things like experience.

Not too surprisingly, Colby, with an interim coach in charge of recruiting, struggled mightily in the recruiting wars and grabbed the last spot. More surprising is the somewhat poor recruiting effort put forth by Bowdoin, which normally does very well on the recruiting front but has its weakest incoming class in several years, with a very young group of recruits and only one junior product. Interesting was the Hamilton approach of bringing in a large number of recruits (14) but with only a small number of clear impact players (3). With numbers like that, it is easy to imagine that there could be some gems in that large Hamilton crowd that cannot be spotted based on limited examination of things like stats.

Speaking more broadly, this year saw a strong move in the direction of junior hockey products although New England prep school hockey still leads the way. The total number of prep school products is 48 or 53% of the total. This represents a decline of 8% from 2010-11 when prep hockey produced 61.4% of the total. The New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) teams leads the way among the prep school leagues, producing 21 would-be NESCAC players, followed by the Independent School League (ISL) with 14, with the Founders League bringing up at the rear and falling by almost  50% to 8 (down from 15 in 2010-11). The remaining five prep school grads are from independent prep schools (Northwood) or prep school leagues that are not based in New England. The most represented prep schools are:  Exeter and St. Sebastian’s at 5 each, Avon Old farms, Belmont Hill, Hotchkiss, Northwood, and Taft at 4 each, and Gunnery and Northfield Mount Hermon at 3 apiece (these numbers include several graduates of these schools who also played junior hockey after completing their prep school careers or who are transfers).

Junior hockey produced 36 of the new players or 40% of the total, a marked increase from 2010-11 when these numbers stood at 22 and 25% respectively. The EJHL, which had an aberrational year in 2011, falling from 15 to 5 names, zoomed back to the top, producing 18 recruits this year. Other junior hockey leagues represented on the list of NESCAC recruits include: the Central Junior Hockey League (5); the North American Hockey League (NAHL) (4); the Ontario Junior Hockey League (3); the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) (3); the Atlantic Junior Hockey League (1); and the Alberta Junior Hockey League (1); and an unaffiliated junior team (1).

The data suggests continued diversity in recruiting practices, with Bowdoin, in a break with previous practices, barely touching junior hockey (just one and he is actually a transfer) and going with younger-than-usual players. Conversely, Middlebury, which has had very little junior representation for the past few years, dug deep into the ranks of junior hockey, bringing in four high-quality recruits from junior hockey teams. All schools, except for Bowdoin and Wesleyan (each has just 1 incoming junior player), will have a healthy complement of junior hockey products in their freshman classes, with Williams and Hamilton at 6 each, Tufts and Amherst at 5 each, Middlebury at 4,  Connecticut College and Trinity at 3 apiece, and Colby at 2.

The only product of high school hockey is Middlebury’s Zach Haggerty, who was named the Vermont player of the year for the 2011-12 season.

Finally, there are 4 transfers (4% of the total): one D1 transfer (Dom Jancaterino from Sacred Heart to Hamilton at the semester break in the 2011-12 season; one intra-NESCAC transfer (Nick Vassos, who went from Bowdoin to Hamilton at the semester break last season but did not play at all); one ECAC West transfer (Casey Fratkin, who went from Elmira to Wesleyan at the semester break last season and immediately became a regular for the Cardinals); and one AHCA D1 club transfer (Dan Meiselman, who transferred from Penn State to Conn College). Bowdoin also gained a D1 transfer in goalie Max Fenkell, who started out at Colgate, but is being counted as a junior hockey product for purposes of our data due to the fact that in spent a year between Colgate and Bowdoin in the BCHL.

And there is one important transfer out of the NESCAC in Nik Tasiopoulos, last season’s second-leading scorer in the NESCAC, who has transferred from Wesleyan to Babson of the ECAC East.

As usual, several of the teams have potential diamonds in the rough in the form of younger, undeveloped players from unconventional sources. Bowdoin leads the way in this category, with two players who missed important parts of their high school careers (Johnny Malusa and Kevin Perron) and a third (Blake Cormier), who spent his high school years playing in obscurity at the Middlesex School, known more for being a pipeline to Harvard for the sons and daughters of the elite than being a developer of college hockey players. Potential diamonds in the rough for Middlebury include: Vermont high school star Zach Haggerty and Washington, D.C., area prep star Max Greenwald. Last year’s diamonds in the rough were few in number, consisting only of Boston College High School’s Mike Cashman for Amherst and Randolph (NJ) High School’s Dan Fullam for Middlebury.

1. Amherst (6):

Forwards:

Conor Brown (Ottawa Jr. Senators, CJHL): A CJHL all-star, Brown was a D1 prospect who scored at more than a point-a-game for two consecutive seasons, with continued development and improvement during his three-year career in juniors – at 6-2 and 190 lbs, he has excellent size and should start contributing to the Amherst offense quickly

Brendan Burke (St. Sebastian’s, ISL): Burke has good size at 6-1 and 195 lbs and put up solid numbers on a superb St Sebastian’s team in the past two seasons – he was on the NHL’s Central Scouting list and a definite D1 prospect although his scoring dropped off noticeably in his senior year

Topher Flanagan (Lloydminster Bobcats, AJHL): Flanagan’s numbers were not quite as gaudy as Brown’s and he is much smaller at 5-8 and 160 lbs but he showed dramatic improvement in his three-year junior career, finishing as the no. 1 scorer on his AJHL team and scoring at just short of a point-a-game pace in his final season (29-27-56 in 60 games)

Defense:

Theo Hannah (Carleton Place Canadians, OJHL): Hannah has great size (6-3 and 200 lbs) and a steady, if not spectacular, junior career behind him as a defensive defenseman

Kevin Ryder (Ottawa Jr. Senators, CJHL): Like three other incoming Amherst players, Ryder has three years of junior hockey experience under his belt – he is smallish at 5-11 but has more offensive upside than Hannah – he and fellow Amherst recruit Brown were teammates for two years with the Ottawa Jr. Senators

Goalie:

Dave Cunningham (Belmont Hill, ISL): Cunningham seems to have it all, with superb numbers (a .943 save percentage and a 1.64 GAA as a senior) and good size (6-0 and 185 lbs) – was the top prep school goalie in New England according to many sources – he likely fell to D3 because he is a two-sport athlete who also excels at baseball and will be able to play both sports at Amherst – it will be hard for him to top Jonathan La Rose’s amazing performance as the D3 PoY in 2011-12 but Cunningham has all the tools to be the next great Amherst goalie – the only possible knock against him as that he is inexperienced, with no post-grad or junior experience

Others: Patrick Arena (F) (Taft, Founders); Louis Xavier Reed (Boston Bandits, EJHL)

2. Middlebury (8)

Forwards:

Jake Charles (Cowichan Valley Capitals, BCHL): Charles is a can’t-miss prospect who scored at a point-a-game-in the tough BCHL and did so at a youngish age (he is a late 1992 DOB) – he has good size (6-2 and 201) and should help to fill up the scoring sheet relatively early in his career – his upside is tremendous as his productivity increased exponentially in his second and final full season in the BCHL (from l1 points to 47)

Riley Dickie (Northfield Mount Hermon, NEPSAC)): Dickie’s season was cut short almost as soon as it began in 2011-12 with season-ending surgery – based on the numbers, Dickie appears to be a goal scorer rather than a play maker – he put up solid numbers as a junior for Northfield Mount Hermon and did even better playing for the fall U18 Junior Bruins in 2010-11, more than holding his own as a high school junior among a batch of D1 recruits

Matt Silcoff (Vaughan Vipers, OJHL): Silcoff has good size at 6-1 and 180 lbs – he should step into the Middlebury rotation quickly as he has two years under his belt of scoring at roughly a point-a-game pace in the OJHL (24-27-51 in 49 games in 2011-12) and did almost as well the prior year – OJHL numbers are not as predictive of success as BCHL and even EJHL numbers as the OJHL is a mixed bag

Defense:

PJ Falvey (Noble & Greenough, ISL): Falvey has decent size at 6-0 and 180 lbs and scored at almost a point-a-game pace (3-17-20 in 27 games) for perennial prep power, Noble & Greenough – Falvey had a productive two-year career manning the blue line for Nobles, which made it to the finals of the New England Prep championship in his senior year where it fell to Lawrence by a score of 3-2 – Falvey began his high school career has a forward at “Super 8” champ Hingham H.S. with good speed and strong moves and brings a nice package of skills to the Panthers

Ron Fishman (Apple Core, EJHL): Fishman had a productive post-grad year in the EJHL, scoring 17 points in 26 games, but his season was shortened by a mid-season injury – Fishman has decent size (6-0 and 185 lbs) and is known for his skating and his power play abilities – as a 1993 DoB whose playing time was limited in his one year of juniors and who has only two years of serious hockey under his belt (one year at Gunnery and one year in the EJHL), Fishman is a prospect with a lot of upside

Connor Frick (Jersey Hitmen, EJHL): Frick is on the small size for a d-man (5-10 and 169 lbs) but arrives at Middlebury with three years of experience in junior hockey, including a year (2009-10) in the premier junior league (the USHL) – he was injured in his final year in the EJHL so his numbers tailed off significantly – but, like Fishman and Falvey, Frick is known as a superb skater

Terrance Goguen (Belmont Hill, ISL): Goguen is big at 6-2 and 195 lbs and is primarily a defensive defensemen with limited scoring capabilities – his defensive prowess, playing in front of incoming Amherst goalie Dave Cunningham, was good enough to earn him a spot on the all-ISL team

Goalie:

Liam Moorfield-Yee (Cushing, NEPSAC): Moorfield-Yee’s numbers dipped a bit this year, going from a save percentage of .933 in 2010-11 to .908 in 2011-12 but he played more minutes as a senior and backstopped perennial hockey power Cushing to the New England Prep play-offs where Cushing was eliminated by no. 1 seed Salisbury in the quarterfinals

Others: Stephen Brown (F); Max Greenwald (F/D); Zach Haggerty (D); David Loughborough (F); Brendan McGovern (F); Evan Neugold (D)

3. Trinity (5)

Forwards:

Michael Hawkrigg (Boston Bandits, EJHL): As the no. 1 scorer on his EJHL team and no. 11 in the league, with a stat line of 32-31-63 in 44 games, Hawkrigg is as close to a can’t-miss prospect as can be with tremendous experience as a top scorer in junior hockey, having spent two years in the OJHL and then two years in the EJHL and scoring at a high rate throughout his junior career – his EJHL resume is comparable to Hamilton’s perennial all-star Mike DiMare, which suggests that Hawkrigg has a bright future in the NESCAC

Jimmy Burt (Trinity-Pawling, NEPSAC): Burt’s numbers were modest in 2011-12 (11-7-18) but he was the leading scorer on a weak Trinity-Pawling team and scored at a point-a-game pace in a PG season – at 6-1 and 190 lbs, Burt has good size – prior to his PG year, was a highly accomplished and successful public high school player in Connecticut, where he was a two-time all-state player in Connecticut and led his high school team to consecutive state championships

Joseph Horak (Boston Bandits, EJHL): Horak, a teammate of Hawkrigg’s on the Boston Bandits, scored at close to point-a-game scorer in the EJHL and is likely to be an early contributor to the Trinity offense – he had a bit of a break-out year in the EJHL in 2011-12 after a somewhat unproductive year in the NAHL

Elie Vered (Kimball Union, NEPSAC): Vered is a youngish player (1993 DoB) who had a solid point-a-game record in his senior year for an excellent Kimball Union team (18-12-30 and winner of the New England Prep championship for smaller schools (the Piatelli/Simmons Division))

Goalie:

Nano Heilbron (Lawrence, ISL): This small goaltender led Lawrence to its first-ever New England Prep championship in 2012, knocking off Nobles – Heilbron’s small size (5-9 and 165 lbs) likely scared away the D1 recruiters regardless of his excellent stats and winning record – Heilbron is likely to push Trinity’s returning netminder, Ben Coulthard, for time between the pipes

Others: JD Cescon (F/D); Ford Traff (F); Ben Hjalmarsson (F/D); Scott Caradonna (G); Brian Sachs (D)

4. Conn College (6)

Forwards:

Dan Meiselman (Penn State (AHCA D1 club and CD Selects (EJHL): The no. 1 scorer for the EJHL’s now-defunct  CD Selects in 2010-11 (24-14-38 in 40 games), Meiselman began his collegiate career playing for Penn States’ AHCA D1 club team last year before transferring ti Conn College. At 6-2 and 205, Meiselman should bring much-needed scoring punch ot the Camels’ line-up.

Tim DiPretoro (Northfield Mount Hermon, NEPSAC): The No. 2 scorer on a solid Northfield Mount Hermon team, DiPretoro was also a co-captain (along with Middlebury recruit Riley Dickie) – on the small side at 5-9, DiPretoro has only two years of serious hockey under his belt (he spent the first part of his high school years playing high school hockey in Pennsylvania) and may have some upside

Sebastien Meltzer (Hawksbury Hawks, CJHL): Meltzer is a three-year veteran of Canadian junior hockey and is known as much for his character and leadership skills as for his point production – still, he was a decent scorer in his last year of juniors (46 points in 59 games) and should bring some scoring punch to the Camels’ front line

Penn Sednaoui (Millbrook, NEPSAC): Sednaoui was an outstanding scorer, leading his team as a senior (41 points in 31 games) and managing to put up a lot of points despite Millbrook’s mediocre record (10-16-3), and, at 6-1 and 180 lbs, has good size

Goalies:

Gordon Donnelly (St. Sebastian’s, ISL): Donnelly put up good numbers for a solid St. Sebastian’s team that won the New England Prep championship for larger schools (the Martin/Earl division) in his senior year, with his save percentage reaching .916 for the season

Tom Conlin (New England Huskies, EJHL): The second of Conn College’s pair of incoming netminders, Conlin is a well-traveled netminder, with stints in three junior leagues over the past two seasons (NAHL, EJHL, and AtJHL), moving to the Walpole Express of the AtJHL at the very end of the 2011-12 season and leading them to the league championship in the play-offs with a stellar performance

Others: Stephan Brennan (F); Connor Doyle (F), JR LaPointe (F); Brett Curran (D); Scott Wood (F/D)

5. Tufts (5)

Forwards:

Keith Campbell (Philadelphia Revolution, EJHL): Campbell was the top scorer (11-15-26 in 40 games) on an EJHL team that did not do much scoring – Campbell is very small (5-6 and 160 lbs) – he has played two years in the EJHL after a strong prep career at Lawrenceville (NJ), where he captained the team and led it in scoring as a senior

Luke Griffin (Buckingham, Brown and Nichols, ISL): Griffin is a strong scorer (17-25-42 in 28 games) and two-time member of the all-ISL team, with good size at 6-3

Defense:

Aidan Hartigan (Buckingham, Brown and Nichols, ISL): Hartigan is a 2012 ISL all-star and a two-time BB&N co-captain – he is a small offensive-minded d-man and is the younger brother of Colby’s Wil Hartigan ‘11

Brian Ouellette (Tabor, NEPSAC); A short but well-built D-man, with strong offensive and defensive capabilities, Ouellette was an all-Scholastic player as a high school junior and was listed on the NHL’s Central Scouting (C list) in 2011.

Goalie:

Derek Metcalfe (Boston Jr. Bruins, EJHL): Metcalfe was an EJHL all-star and no. 1 goalie in the EJHL in save percentage and should be able to step into the very big skates of the departed Scott Barchard – Metcalfe has good size at 6-0 and 180 lbs – he is a bit of a late bloomer as he played behind Princeton recruit Mike Condon at Belmont Hill as a junior and then shared time with Amherst recruit Cunningham as a senior and, in his first post-graduate year with the Boston Jr. Bruins, did not play at all, perhaps due to injury

Others: Stewart Bell (F); Dominic Granato (F); Conor Helfrich (F); James Randaccio (F)

6. Wesleyan (5)

Forwards:

Alex Carlacci (Exeter, NEPSAC): Carlacci was the no. 4 scorer (16-25-41 in 27 games) on a very strong Exeter team, playing on a line with NHL draft pick and Harvard recruit Brian Hart

Terrence Durkin (Northwood (unaffiliated prep)): Durkin came into his own as a PG at Northwood after a strong high school career in Massachusetts where he played with Amherst sophomore Mike Cashman at Boston College HS

Jay Mathews (Thayer, ISL): Although Mathews’ numbers at Thayer are not impressive, it is likely because had the misfortune to play for cellar-dwelling team in the strong ISL – he is a two-time all-ISL player and two-time captain, with a power forward’s build at 6-1 and 200 lbs and a nose for the net

Defense:

Eric Casey (Philadelphia Revolution, EJHL): At 6-4 and 220 lbs, Casey will bring some nice size to the Cardinals’ blue line – he is a defensive defenseman whose offensive production in the EJHL was limited to 11 points in 42 games

Goalie:

Nolan Daley (Exeter, NEPSAC): Daley was part of a goaltending tandem for a superb Exeter team, with a .923 save percentage, but played more than 50% of the time – he is likely more of a long-term project as he is relatively inexperienced and Wesleyan is in good shape with two solid returning goalies in seniors Glenn Stowell and Matt Hadge, who are like to get the vast majority of the starts in 2012-13

Other: Jaren Taenaka (F)

7. Bowdoin (5)

Forwards:

Matt Rubinoff (Exeter, NEPSAC): A small (5-8), natural center, Rubinoff centered Exeter Academy’s high-flying first line in his PG year, playing between Matt Beattie (a D1 recruit and an NHL draft pick) and Army recruit Michael St. Denis – Rubinoff was the no. 3 scorer on a strong Exeter team that made the New England prep championship’s semifinals before falling to Nobles

Dylan Shamburger (Avon Old Farms, Founders): A small (5-9) but solidly built (198 lbs) playmaker and the no. 2 scorer on a very strong Avon Old Farms, Shamburger should crack the high-flying Bowdoin offense

Defense:

Gabriel Renaud (Tabor, NEPSAC): A versatile athlete who captained Tabor’s track team and competed in both track (200 and 400 meter dashes) and field (javelin) events, Renaud should bring a heavy dose of athleticism to the Bears’ blue line – he is a skilled, two-way d-man, who began his prep career as a forward

Blake Cormier (Middlesex, ISL (Eberhart)): A three-time all-ISL player, Cormier’s team played in the weaker Eberhart division – he is a defensive defenseman but, in view of his youth (a latish 1993 DoB), he should have some upside if he can make the adjustment to the greater speed and skill of the NESCAC

Goalie:

Max Fenkell (Alberni Valley, BCHL): Fenkell was an outstanding goaltender during his prep career at Avon Old Farms and Exeter but did not play in his first year at D1 Colgate (2010-11) and put up decent but not outstanding numbers on the tough BCHL in a gap year between Colgate and Bowdoin – he is small (5-9 and 165 lbs) but if he can recapture some of the magic of his prep career, he could push Bowdoin incumbent Steve Messina, for the no. 1 goaltending spot

Others: Chris Fenwick (F); Johnny Malusa (D); Kevin Perron (D)

8. Williams (5):

Forwards:

Michael Erickson (Amarillo Bulls, NAHL): Erickson’s stats in the NAHL are not overwhelming (15-23-38 in 50 games) but should be good enough to land him a spot in the Williams’ rotation in his first year

Defense:

Taylor Carmola (Nanaimo Clippers, BCHL): Carmola is a low-scoring d-man who spent just one year in the BCHL after graduating from the Berkshire School in 2011 – at 6-3 and 220 lbs, Carmola is in the tradition of the big defensemen that seem to have become somewhat of a Williams specialty – while not quite as big as the graduated Ryan Scott, he likely will play a similar defensive role on the blue line for the Ephmen

Greg Johnson (St. Louis Bandits, NAHL); Johnson has good size (6-2 and 190 lbs) and played 40 games between two seasons in the premier junior league, the USHL – he closed out his junior career in the NAHL, playing only about half a season in the NAHL in 2011-12 but did manage to show some offensive spark (5-11-16 in 30 games)

Zander Masucci (Apple Core, EJHL): Masucci had a break-out year in junior hockey in 2011-12, moving from Apple Core’s junior B franchise to its EJHL franchise and becoming a mainstay both offensively and defensively on the blue line in his last pre-college year – as a senior at Taft, Masucci joined with three other current NESCAC players to form the core of Taft’s defense (Amherst’s Elliott Bostrom and Middlebury’s Thomas Freyre and John Barr)

Goalie:

Noah Klag (Valley Junior, EJHL): In his first full year in junior hockey, Klag put up decent numbers (.907 save percentage) but was limited to 17 games (the team’s other goalie played 30 games) – as a 1993 DoB, he is young and relatively inexperienced and will likely play second fiddle to untested but talented sophomore Sean Dougherty but could be called on to contribute

Others: Matt Werner (F)

9. Hamilton (3)

Forward:

Kenny Matheson (Brockville Braves, CJHL): Matheson is a gritty and experienced player who has bounced around a bit – he had a two-year prep school stint with Hotchkiss where he was the no. 1 scorer on the team (9-24-33 in 26 games) and served as captain in his senior year – after Hotchkiss, he had two stints in he CJHL with Brockville, sandwiched around a 25-game stint in the USHL where his offensive output was limited to three points – nonetheless he has some offensive capabilities as is evidenced by the 51 points he wracked up in his first year in juniors with Brockville (2010-11)

Defense:

Marko Brelih (Stouffville Spirit, OJHL): A four-year veteran of Canadian junior hockey, Brelih should start contributing quickly to both the Hamilton offense and defense – this 21-year-old native of Belgrade is big and strong (at 6-2 and 200), with offensive capabilities and a history of winning (Stouffville won the OJHL play-offs in 2012)

Scott Vasquez (Boston Bandits, EJHL): A small (5-9) defenseman, with strong offensive capabilities (5-19-24 in 44 games), Vasquez should be a welcome addition to Hamilton’s returning corps of d-men, who tend to have little offensive capability except for play making Andrew White

Others: Brian Ferrell (F); Rob Gardiner (F); Dom Jancaterino (F); Nick Vassos (F); Robby Kirk (F); Tyler Lovejoy; Matt Tetro (F); Peter Michailidis (F); Bradley Prevel (F)

10. Colby (3)

Forwards:

Mike DeBello (Brockville Braves, CJHL): DeBello scored at a point-a-game pace for the Braves (23-31-54 in 53 games) in his second year of junior hockey – his first year was spent with Apple Core of the EJHL where his point production was modest

Tyler Lingel (Proctor, NEPSAC): The no. 3 scorer on a solid Proctor team, Lingel is young (a 1993 DoB) point-a-game scorer with some upside – he is more of a goal scorer than a play maker

Defense:

Chris Kennedy (Walpole Express, AtJHL): An all-star in the Atlantic JHL, Kennedy had a break-out year in the second of his two seasons with the championship Walpole Express – in his final year, he found his scorer’s touch, finishing 7^th among AtJHL d-men, with a solid stat line of 6-19-25 in 41 games

Others: Evan O’Brien (D); Jonathan Sdao (F)
