The NCAA is making its presence known in the 2013 NHL playoffs. The teams in this year's playoffs have a good portion of their roster built with NCAA players. From Toews in Chicago to newcomer Torey Krug in Boston, these players are making a significant contribution to their team's success.
We reviewed the rosters of the teams in the first round and there were a total of 98 NCAA players that hit the ice and contributed in at least one game
The Toronto Maple Leafs led all teams in the first round with nine NCAA players that played in at least one game in the first round. They were followed by Pittsburgh, San Jose, St. Louis and Vancouver who all had eight players who played at least one game.
In round two, there were 49 players and the Pens led with nine. They were followed by San Jose with eight players and Chicago, Detroit, The Rangers and Ottawa at six each.
We will be providing a playoff wrap up in our next issue to summarize how the
NCAA players contributed to their team's success in the 2013 NHL playoffs.
Follow the NCAA players in the playoffs to enhance your college hockey research. Players will comment in interviews about their college days and this could be that extra piece of information that will help you make that team.
There has been a lot of movement lately by NCAA Hockey Coaches. Some have chosen to retire, some have chosen to step down, and others have been let go. New rookie coaches are hired while veteran coaches are moving to new challenges.
It might not seem like much, but this is important for you in your team research. If you are close to making your decision and one of your important selection criteria is how comfortable you feel with the coach, but that coach is no longer with that particular team, then you will want to rethink your decision. This will also apply if you have already committed to go and play for a certain coach.
Some recent coaching additions have New Hampshire alum Mike Ayers joining Jerry York's staff at Boston College. Ayers is replacing Mike Cavanaugh who has taken the Head Coach position at UConn.
