Greg is pretty much on the mark here.  I think they may be a few outliers
at any one time on both sides.  There are probably a couple of programs
that are getting the admissions office to let in inappropriate applicants
and they are not graduating at the same rate as the overall undergraduate
population.  There are also a probably a few schools where the hockey
players academic profile is better than the general undergraduate
population.
