Yesterday I received my first recruit of the year to come stay with
me. This took me back to exactly a year ago when I had my visit. I
thought about what got me to go here. I laugh now because it wasn't the rink, the lockerroom, or the girls I saw walking around campus. It was
the guys I met that night that would put the "YES" in committing to go
here.
The first person I got introduced to was sophomore, forward, Chad
Bennett. Coach Bill came out with him and said "Chris, this is who you
will be staying with." My first thoughts were, "you gotta be kidding me."
This guy looks like the Undertaker from WWE. He ended up being the right
guy for the job. Chad was honest about everything since Day 1, he told
me the good stuff and the bad stuff about Fredonia. Coming off one
eventful Junior career, it was finally good to hear someone give it to
me straight.

We get back to the dorm and I was greeted by Ryan
Wilkinson. After having a conversation with him, I knew I could
definitely get into this school if this guy did. Then I met Mitch
Kaufmann. This guy didn't even have to tell me where he was from because
of his accent. He sounded like he just got off a late night shift from
the oil rigs in Alberta. Two other people came to introduce themselves,
and they were John Defeo and Taylor Bourne. John to me looked like his
Mom still bags his lunch. Taylor had these lamb chops going for him, I
didn't know if he thought he played the bass for the Who or played the
drums for Metallica. Beside the point, these guys were quickly judged, not just on
their looks, but their personalities and kindness, and that is why I'm by
their side battling today . -#1 Eisee
