CHL can now play NCAA - change everything !

[Hockeyville USA]

They don’t pull off a lot of the top names when the recruiting cycle begins. They don’t have the obvious pull that Minnesota, Michigan, BC, BU have in recruiting the 5 stars (the main NTDP players and the big name USHL/BCHL Canadians) that everyone focuses on from the beginning of the recruiting cycle, but they seem to pull in a lot of the 4.5 star players, and form changes and some players go under the radar.

I don’t know if they’re gonna be in contention for Misa or McKenna, but could they pull off a Xavier Villeneuve or Ben Kindel? I think if there’s some shocker, those are the two schools I’m looking at for that type of creative recruiting move.

I'm interested to see if Minnesota dips their toe in at all to the CHL pool, especially the higher end guys. They've almost exclusively been Minnesotan roster over their history & there's pressure in Minnesota to recruit in state guys and keep the roster that way. I'm guessing they won't, but we'll see. Who knows how long Motzko will stay there.

They will. There are massive gaps for next year including a goalie that can come right in and commit for the starting job. They like old Candian goalies. Motzko will stay until he retires or "retires". At least three more seasons.
