Less questionable but not by much; he plays in the AHA division which is the doormat of NCAA Div-1 Hockey. The AHA has ten teams with over 25 players on each roster and exactly two have been drafted in the NHL. One of them is Hoskins and the other 2019 6th round pick of the Kings Braden Doyle. Doyle spent three seasons in Hockey East, one with Boston University and two with Northeastern. Was a bit player in all three of those seasons. He dropped down to the AHA for his senior year.
The good news for Hoskins is that he's now transferred to Merrimack in the much more competitive Hockey East. Merrimack is by no means a powerhouse but it'll be a huge step up in competition for him.
