I will add this....

NCAA has hefty representation in NHL during ’11-12 season

A total of 300 former U.S. college hockey players participated in the 2011-12 NHL regular season, the biggest NCAA representation in history and a 39 percent increase from 10 years ago when 216 ex-collegians played in the NHL.

Former college players accounted for 30.5 percent of all players in the NHL this season, also a record, according to figures compiled and released by College Hockey Inc. Forty-six former college players made their NHL debuts this season, including seven who appeared after their college seasons concluded.

Seven 30-goal scorers were among the group, as well as five of the top nine rookie scorers in the league, including rookie goal-scoring leader Matt Read (Bemidji State). Jonathan Toews (North Dakota) led the league in faceoff percentage and Curtis Glencross (Alaska-Anchorage) led in shooting percentage.
