While I don't expect as much coverage as in Minnesota, Massachusetts has a thriving girls hockey scene both in the Preps as well as the Publics/Catholics. Last year there were 83 Public/Private teams in the MIAA, as well as ~40 Prep schools throughout New England, and the scene is growing in both talent and numbers. There have been a few programs that have merged due to numbers this year, but I think those are temporary measures, and there are new programs popping up all the time. The caliber of players coming out of the MIAA is quite high as well, let alone the kids who jump to the Preps before playing in the NCAAs. And that doesn't even include a kid like Hannah Murphy who opted to play college lacrosse at UMass, despite being one of the best players in Massachusetts last season.
I follow Mass HS Hockey quite a bit, and have reason to focus on the girls side in particular. Anyone else watching?
http://masshshockey.com/ is a great resource for records and stats, although it's up to coaches to fill in stats, so it's a mixed bag.
