Geoff Howell posted the following distribution of ECAC hockey
players by country of origin:
> ECAC
> US/Can/Other
> Br 15/15/3
> Cla 11/14/3
> Col 12/15/0
> Cor 8/20/1
> Dar 16/12/0
> Har 17/9/0
> Pri 13/13/0
> RPI 18/10/0
> SLU 8/18/0
> Un 4/24/0
> Ver 17/8/2
> Ya 17/13/1
>
> Totals 156/171/7
Little would I have thought when I attended RPI in the late 60s and early
70s that I would ever see the day when RPI had more Americans on their
roster than any other ECAC team. Several of the years that I was at RPI,
the roster was entirely from Canada, and more than one or two Americans
was unheard of.
I guess that the numbers above would change a bit if current rosters
were used. I believe the numbers are 15/10/0 now. (By the way, this
eliminates the only ECAC players from Nebraska and North Dakota.)
P.S. I am not expressing any opinion as to whether I condone or am
against this trend.
