An interesting thread has been brought up on the Maine hockey list.
     Which programs have supplied the NHL (to narrow the scope a little,
     let's keep it narrowed to the current NHL rosters) with the most
     players?  This question could be broached from two directions: quality
     and quantity.  (It's another argument altogether whether this is even
     a good measure of the quality of a college program; I'm not so sure
     that it is.)
 
     Maine has provided several players:  Bob Corkum, Paul Kariya, Eric
     Weinrich, Bob Beers, Jean-Yves Roy, Garth Snow, and some others that
     bounce between the NHL and the minors.  This is good quantity, as well
     as high quality.
 
     RPI has given the NHL Adam Oates, Joe Juneau, and Daren Puppa.  The
     quantity isn't that great, but you'd have to agree that this is a high
     quality group.
 
     What can other schools offer?
