I would tend to agree that having the U-18 team come gives recruiters a chance to get a look at potential prospects. But it would also be a good idea to at least have one other top D-I school there. Being a student at Michigan State (but from Orono) It was fun to see Boston College come out here to play in our tourney to start the year. It featured a top Hockey East school, a team that is traditionally near the top of the CCHA and a WHCA team as well. A great mix of schools that provided for some good hockey to watch. Maybe Maine could look into inviting a school like Michigan State or even Notre Dame, Miami of Ohio, Western Michigan or another mid level CCHA team for a little bit of increased competition in future tourneys.
