I have seen a few letters written in the last couple of days discussing
recruiting policies and teams only drafting players from their own
particular state. People should understand the challenge facing smaller
Colleges like Ferris, BGSU, OSU, LSSU, NMU, MTU, North Dakota and a
number of other smaller schools out East competing for talented players
against well known Colleges with successful hockey programs like:
Harvard, BU, Boston College, Michigan St., Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. Recruiting by these bigger schools is almost nonexistant.
There are huge pools of talented players waiting for an opportunity to
try out at a well known College.  Its now wonder why smaller schools
have to go North into Canada to recruit players. You hardly ever see a
game on Pass or Prime that doesn't showcase a well known College team. I
have nothing against the way the system works today or nothing against
bigger schools, but I think people should take their hats down to any
smaller school with a succesful record and a good chance to win the NCAA
title.
