    I think most recruiting would be done by now, or a good portion of it. Coaches likely have a good idea of players they are interested in and they can access video from the past season. The tough thing is for players who might have been planning campus visits. This makes the decision process tough.

          The USA U18 and U16 Tier 1 National Championships would have pretty much every NHL and NCAA team in attendance. A lot of commitments are historically made following this event.

            How many minds are changed at those events? That is the great unknown.

              I think kids will still want to play NCAA hockey.

                Maybe D1 commitments. Kids that end up playing high level D3 exhaust their Junior hockey eligibility first, holding out for a D1 offer that interests them.

                    I think those players who didn't get that last look from the lower D1 teams will fallback to the top D3 teams more this /next yr..

                      Yes, this was the point of my post. It is one event with some of the most skilled players in one location. The players that might have received a D1 offer will have to play out a season or two of junior, or for some take the D3 route.

                          Funny just read a article thru a facebook link about how this corona virus is killing recruiting in hockey,mainly those who are on the D1/D3 bubble,players were looking for that last good chance these next few months but not happening,I feel bad for them for sure...

                            I wouldn't feel too bad, it's just accelerating the recruiting process by 2 months or so by putting the writing on the wall that much sooner for bubble players. If the interaction with D1 coaches has ceased, then you gotta take your best D3 offer on the table, simple as that. Now, you may see a lot more overrecruiting at the D3 level than already exists since D3 coaches aren't going to turn away decent players. Then you can say you feel bad for those D3 players who have their ice time squeezed.
