In the time I've been following college hockey, I don't believe the Atlantic Hockey conference has ever sent more than one team to the tournament and their champion is usually ranked below 20th in the overall rankings. For example, right now, Bentley leads Atlantic Hockey and they are ranked 23rd overall.

A handful of Atlantic Hockey players have made it to the NHL, but Dan Hinote is the only one to make it to 200 games. Niagara has produced 2 NHLers, but they only played 1 and 12 games each.
Perfect! That just means that Hoskin will need to make history as the first Atlantic Hockey player to play 1000 games in the NHL.
