I just received my copy of the College Hockey Guide in the mail yesterday.
Like several others, I decided to buy a copy when Drop the Puck folded.
This would be a very useful and interesting publication if it had been
issued early in the season -- now I will just put it on the shelf.
Apparently, its main purpose is to help prospective student athletes
choose a school.  It contains data on Div 1, Div 2, Div 3, as well as
club teams and women's teams.  I suppose that a student who intends to
matriculate a year from now will find the time of issue suitable -- but
it is very stale data.
 
It was interesting to read all of the preseason predictions from a year ago.
 
I note that in the back if mentions that the 97-98 issue will be issued in
November 1997.  I don't think that I will hold my breath.
 
A couple of questions that someone might know the answer to gathered from
looking at the rosters of all of the teams that were listed.
 
1) There is a Chris Chelios listed as playing for UW-Superior.  Is he
related to the former Badger?  Too old to be his son, perhaps a cousin.
 
2) I note that former RPI coach Mike Addesa's son Chris is listed for both
Wisconsin and Amherst.  Where, if at all, did he play this year?  I never
saw him on game reports for Wisconsin.
