But the vast majority of the players, or even just the late bloomers or girls from teams outside the Big Name AAA teams, don't get as much opportunity to see or be seen. Give them some time to grow, develop, go to high school and really decide what's the right path for them. Even the decision between D1 & D3 takes a lot of consideration.
And, to answer a point from the lacrosse parents who complained about the cost of all the camps, etc for the uncommitted kids...it's the same story for the committed kids. We spent the whole summer on the east coast because, now that he's committed he's expected to be playing at the highest level (and still attending his school's camps) so when he does start college he's ready for D1 level play.
Committing doesn't mean you hang up your cleats because you're done. It means the expectations just got real. Not to mention- it's a verbal commitment. If the coach changes his mind & pulls the offer you'd better be visible all summer long so other schools can have interest. I'm sure it's the same in hockey.
