Player Spotlight - Angus Crookshank
2018 UNH commit Angus Crookshank continues his torrid goal-scoring. After missing the exhibition season and first 8 games of the BCHL regular season with an injury, he has scored at least one goal in 7 of 11 games. Since the last "UNH Commits Update" two weeks ago, Crookshank has scored a goal-a-game during a 4-game win streak by the Langley Rivermen. Here are the video highlights of his 6th thru 9th goals of the season:The first two goals shown in the highlights illustrate Crookshank's ability as a pure goal scorer. In each case, he essentially generated the score on his own. The Langley Rivermen announcers described Crookshank's goal against the Cowichan Valley Capitals as a candidate for best of the year.
The top 6 goal scorers in the BCHL have played 5-8 more games than Crookshank. Still, he is tied for 5th in total goals. With 9 goals in 11 games, Crookshank leads the league in goals per game (.82). His 4 game-winning goals are the most in the BCHL and he's tied for 3rd in power play goals (3). The centerman has also distributed 5 assists for a total of 14 points in 11 games (T-9th).
2017-18 Statistics
NOTEThe statistics for the commits, presented in the following table, are categorized by the projected year they will enroll in UNH. For example, the "2018 Commits" are projected to begin playing for UNH in the Fall of 2018. I have based these projections on a number of factors including:
~ If a National Letter of Intent has been signed.
~ The year the commit and UNH coaches originally targeted for enrollment in UNH.
~ How old the commit would be upon admission.
~ Number of years in junior hockey prior to admission.
~ The commit's performance in recent seasons as well as injuries.
~ Anticipated date of high school graduation.
~ Number of UNH players leaving the team at the end of the previous season and the position they played.
