Congrats to him! Good Kid - nice college, town and area to choose.
He'll have to learn some french with Montreal just an hour or so away.

seems like most of the blake hockey players go right to college out of h.s.

maybe power92 could give us a list of the d1 and d3

Congrats to Blake Doerring

In the last 6 years, these numbers are not exact, 10+ D1 and 15-16 D3.
I think only 1 guy played Jrs.
Those guys are doing something right over there.

Very impressive numbers.

I think a big difference about the kids not playing Juniors is that they play DIII instead of going to Junior, whereas most other players will give Junior a shot before going to a DIII school. Some of those 14-16 DIII players might have been DI if they would have spent that year or two continuing their development.

But it's great to see these kids go directly to very good DIII academic institutions as well.

Who are the five? I am embarrassed that i cant think of any off the top of my head.

Also, any new on Brunette? He is a solid player and a great student, so he could do something with the Ivies. What about Blankenship? He seems more like a D3.

Word is Brunette is gettin' scouted alot by schools out East. I see him going on the same path as Doerring.
