Agree with you 100%. It just depends on the person.The Ivy League schools have, in recent years, made an effort to make college affordable for all of their students, not just the athletes. The quality of athletes in all of their sports have increased significantly as a result...anybody have Harvard in their brackets this past weekend?

It's pretty sweet when you're given an opportunity to play D1 hockey, with a financial aid/scholarship package that is guaranteed whether you play or not (or get injured, or go pre-med). That's the great advantage over any athletic scholarship offered by any D1 program.
That said, SDSU does have something that the Ivy's don't....location, location, location. I think it's something like 85% of Mn high school grads end up going to college either in Mn or in an adjacent state. Upper Midwestern kids just like to hang around. And it's a whole lot easier for your family to watch you play up at that next level when you're just down the road.

Is there a reason kloos and zajac and Heinrich are not playing for them now or is it just the players choice to finish their last month or two of high school at home?SuperStar wrote:Update on how all these guys are doing - These are stats from the whole season. 2011/2012 - some played a few games last fall

I think it depends on whether or not you are on the active roster or the affiliate list. Kloos and Zajac are on the affiliate list so they can only play 6 games this year and not in the playoffs. Letteri is on the active roster so he is allowed to play an unlimited number of games. Some teams choose not to put players on the active list, i think the roster deadline was somewhere around march 1.

Watched Dickman and Toninato in Fargo last weekend. Toninato played on a solid game. Should have had 2 or 3 points. Dickman needs to work on his skating.SuperStar wrote:Update on how all these guys are doing - These are stats from the whole season. 2011/2012 - some played a few games last fall
