2 since 1995 of a total of 19 players...........has little to do with Harvard players being more inclined to finish their degrees than other players when presented with the option of turning pro early, and more to do with the fact that very few top notch NHL prospects (like Fox) choose Harvard (or can get into Harvard) as their development route the the NHL. Said another way, Harvard historically hasn't attracted or developed top NHL prospects in comparison to other programs or routes, versus the narrative being that top NHL prospects choose to stay at Harvard instead of turning pro early.
