Goaltender Garrett Beckwith a Potential UW Target?

According to Chris Heisenberg's University of New Hampshire recruiting site, both UNH and the Badgers have interest in goaltender Garrett Beckwith from Parsipany, NJ. The site indicates UNH is looking at Beckwith for 2008, while you'd have to assume UW is looking toward 2009 since Shane Connelly will have graduated at that point.

Boys Select 17 National Development Camp

Tthe Boys Select 17 National Development Camp has completed three of their five games per team. The current top scorers can be found here, the goaltending information at this link, and the game results here. New UW recruit Jake Gardiner is the highest placed player in the scoring race with two goals and three assists for five points. Potential UW recruit Garrett Beckwith, who is currently on the Green Bay Gamblers Affiliated List is really struggling with an 83.67% save percentage. My first thought was that maybe his team is not playing very good defense, but that theory was quickly blown out of the water when I found the other goaltender on his team leading the pack with a 98% save percentage.

Here's the list of players of interest at this camp:

UW Whiffs on York

The Badgers, along with several other WCHA teams were apparently interested in AJHL goaltending prospect Allen York. York had narrowed his list down to RPI and Denver, and has just made a verbal commitment to RPI.

The only other goaltending prospect I have seen the Badgers linked to is Garrett Beckwith.

Wisconsinites in USHL Tryout Camps

In the Sioux Falls tryout camp, Jake Drewiske was not present. The Stampede had left him off their protected list. Tedd Falk from Homestead HS also was not present for the Stampede's Camp. I have to wonder if their camp conflicted with his high school graduation.

In the Rough Riders tryout camp, forward AJ Sheehan from the Madison Capitols did not make the All-Star Game at the end of camp.

In the Storm tryout camp, veterans Sean Wiles and Sam Zabkowicz both made the All-Star Game, as did UW recruit Chris Hickey. Jordan George, formerly of Madison Edgewood and currently of the Russell Stover Midget Minors was in camp but did not make the All-Star Game. Kyle Ensign did not participate in camp, likely due to the injury that put him on the shelf most of this past season.

I have already posted about the Gambler's tryout camp, but forgot to mention that one of the goaltenders that made the All-Star Game, Garrett Beckwith, is a potential UW recruit.

Boys Select 17 National Development Camp

The Boys Select 17 National Development Camp is complete, and of all the players we were keeping an eye on, new UW defensive recruit Jake Gardiner ended up with the highest point total. Potential UW goaltending recruit Garrett Beckwith struggled throughout the camp and finished with an .84 save percentage. I've had several comments on the blog saying he has a leg or hip injury he sustained at the Gamblers Training Camp, which could potentially help explain his poor showing.
