While Minnesota has taken over – at least for now – as the undisputed top hockey talent-producing region in the United States, New England remains a hotbed.
Look no further than over 100 players from the region who are committed to playing college hockey. As of Oct. 24, 2018, there were 114 players from New England with a college commitment.
Most of the region’s committed players are slated to play for area schools. Northeastern is most represented with 16 local commits. Providence has 10 New England commits, while Boston College has eight.
Yale (7), Boston University (6), Brown (6), New Hampshire (6), Harvard (5), Merrimack (5), Union (5) Holy Cross (4), Maine (4), Bentley (3), Dartmouth (3), UConn (3), UMass Amherst (3), UMass Lowell (3), Quinnipiac (2) and Sacred Heart (2) are others with multiple recruits from New England.
Vermont and Bowdoin each have one committed player, while ECAC Hockey's Princeton, Colgate and RPI have recruits from the region. Five of the six Big Ten schools have a New England commit. Minnesota is the only team from the Big Ten without a recruit from New England. Colorado College is the only NCHC school to have a local commit.
This list will be updated throughout the 2018-19 season. Please email jcox@hockeyjournal.com and commits@hockeyjournal.com with additions.
