Jake Sanderson chose the USNDP over Hockey Canada and he grew up in a one of the top hockey development markets in the country. Hard to blame him. Competency vs. Incompetency.

On top of the development program, there's also the major incentive of NCAA play.
In Canada, you commit your whole life to hockey and just hope it works out. If not, well....that's your life wasted. In the USA, you get a free college education at a top tier college along the way.
