The period to sign National Letters of Intent (NLI) began on Wednesday, Nov. 14.
The University of Nebraska at Omaha Hockey program has seen a number of the recruits I mentioned in last week’s “UNO Hockey Recruiting Update (Nov. 2018)” story sign NLI’s this week (Noah Prokop, Nolan Sullivan, Joe Abate, Josh Boyer, and Alex Roy at the time of this writing).
There is a new player (likely not the last) in the mix of recruits — forward Brock Bremer of the Muskegon Lumberjacks (USHL) verbally committed to the Mavs this week.
Because Bremer isn’t a player we’ve focused on the past few months, he is a bit of an unknown commodity to UNO fans. Be that as it may, he looks like he’ll be a welcome addition to UNO’s recruiting list.
Here’s what we do know...
Bremer is currently 57th in overall point production (49th in goals) in the USHL. He plays with fellow UNO recruit Nolan Sullivan for the Lumberjacks. Sullivan is ranked 4th on the team in goals (8th in total points) and Bremer is 5th in goals (6th in total points).
I’ve mentioned how important it is for UNO to recruit solid talent out of the Minnesota high school hockey ranks. Bremer played for Hill-Murray (one of the top prep programs in the state), and had 19 goals and 21 assists during the 2016-17 season with Hill-Murray.
Before joining Muskegon, Bremer played a season with the Camrose Kodiaks in the AJHL. He tallied 19 goals and 43 assists — he was the point leader for Camrose, and 15th overall in the AJHL. Those numbers suggest a skilled puck handler who can make things happen in the offensive zone.
Bremer appears to have a considerable amount of upside potential.
I’ll be interested to see if Bremer’s commitment means one of the other future recruits (who we’ve had on our recruiting list) doesn’t make it to Omaha, or if one or more of the juniors currently playing departs after the season.
The following video will give you an idea of Bremer’s ability (Camrose Kodiaks vs. the Brooks Bandits — Nov. 17, 2017):
