He told me the quality of hockey is better in the SJ and and W, but the game is way faster in college, for the reasons your just said. Bigger and more mature players. But at least in Div3, they're not as hockey smart, so he needs to keep his head on a swivel more, as alot just want to kill each other, especially many being bigger than others.
