Re: 2017 NC$$ Recruiting Class Rankings (Top 10)

Is there anywhere that lists team commits for the upcoming year? Someone used to do an updatable complete list of birth year commits for each individual team on this USCHO comment board. It was a very accurate list and very interesting to read. I believe his name was HUX

I mean, Minnesota and Wisconsin can't get all the recruits or else they would dominate winning national titles...

Correct, it was Hux and that was a good thread. You can use the link I used in the other thread and sort it by college...

There are two U of M recruits that I don't see shown: Olivia Knowles of the Okanagan Hockey Academy, and Catie Skaja of New Prague High School.

That is true, but if your like me the preferred place to go for U of M recruiting is the women's threads on GPL.

Does anyone know if the Czech team qualified for the Olympics? If so Pejzlova won't be able to play for Clarkson next year and would be a big loss for Clarkson but these rankings don't shock me one bit, with where Clarkson is located I won't be shocked to see Clarkson becoming a powerhouse even western teams struggle with because of the Canadian pipeline.

The Swiss won the group that the Czechs were in - so no Olympics for the Czech women's hockey team in 2018.

Re: 2017 NC$$ Recruiting Class Rankings (Top 10)

Do the Czechs even centralize anyway?

You have 5 of the top 6 as WCHA teams so there is that...

BC, just having Cayla Barnes coming in next year would put them in the top 10. Add 3 very good Canadian recruits and they're in the top 5.

15th...

Not having Clarkson in the top 15 is a joke. I would not pay $.01 for your opinion.

Recap - total number from both teams:
Minnesota - 10

Wisconsin - 5

Clarkson - 4

Boston College - 3

Boston University - 2
Minnesota Duluth - 2
North Dakota - 2
Princeton - 2
Colgate - 2

Bemidji State - 1
Penn State - 1
Providence - 1
Mercyhurst - 1
Ohio State - 1
Northeastern - 1
Quinnipiac - 1
Harvard - 1
Syracuse - 1

While you can't draw too much from these numbers:
> Many excellent players did not make the teams
> Other excellent players from other countries
> Other excellent players who are part of the 2017-18 incoming class were too old to skate for their U18 team this year

I do think it's one objective indicator of which schools are attracting some excellent talent.
