No, no, no. Almost all WCHA teams now recruit a majority of their players from
the USHL. This meams they are recruiting 20 or so year olds to be freshmen.
Most USHLers are high school graduates who want to make a greater impression
on college coaches than they did in high school. And these kids are almost
exclusively American.
