State of Hockey-Colorado?

Re: State of Hockey-Colorado?

Air Force alone has 6. DU, another 7. But they all pull a lot of kids from Minny. Why is it they would rather go to school out here?

Because they aren't good enough at hockey to play at a real aviation school like UND.

Re: State of Hockey-Colorado?

Minnesota, Michigan, Massachusetts,and New York are the premier states for developing hockey players.

Colorado isn't ready to challenge the "Big Four" in terms of numbers yet, but they're not that far off per capita. There were 36 players on D1 rosters this year:

Colorado must have something going for it to have the headquarters of USA Hockey.

Yes, we're very happy with our NoDak rejects, Lamoureux (Grand Forks) and Weisgarber (Fargo). That's just as many home-staters as the Sioux!

afa - 4
du - 7

Hey Bullit, AFA actually has 6 players on it's roster from Colorado. 5 are listed, but Kyle DeLaurell went to Pine Creek HS in C Springs and played his ice hockey in CO. He was born in California so he lists that as his home since he didn't move to CO until HS.

So, DU has 7 and AFA has 6 from Colorado

AFA has 6 from Colorado

The growth of in-state talent, plus proximity to (and head coach from) Minnesota and being the only mid-major west of the Mississippi (and the closest to California) has been very good for Air Force.

This whole thread is stupid, but just to point out, there is no way DeLaurell counts as "from" Colorado.

TJ Oshie was born and grew up in Seattle, moved to Warroad, MN for HS, but he in no way counts as "from" Minnesota. It doesn't work that way...

Actually, with where he moved, he should have played for Lake of the Woods.

Re: State of Hockey-Colorado?

Even more interesting..."Colorado" College does not have a single player from Colorado on their roster! Hmmmmm

Proof evident. Case closed. CC Sucks!!! Plain and simple.

All great players, but as Zoomie mentioned, Kyle De Laurell from AFA shouldn't be overlooked. As a sophomore, he has averaged over a point per game this season. (33 points in 30 games, 10G 23A)
