Say this for UAA coach Dave Shyiak and his staff: They're getting ahead of the game when it comes to recruiting for a couple seasons down the road.

They have a commitment from defenseman Zack Rall of Anchorage, and that makes six guys secured for either the 2011 or 2012 season.

Rall, 17, plays for the Chicago Steel of the USHL. The 6-foot, 192-pounder has four assists and an even rating in 33 games. I see he hasn't played a game in a month -- not sure if he's hurt, or what.
