I do believe the thread title, whether it be 2016 - 17 or 2050 - 51, refers to the year that the recruits listed plan on matriculating at said institution. Nothing to do with birth year or graduation year.

It is fairly common for kids who have completed their freshman year in high school (ie public), to repeat that year if they go either to prep school, or an elite team with accredited academic programs. It is also not uncommon for a senior to play a PG year in the JWHL or at a high level prep program. The thread is still about when they start college, not when life begins or high school ends.

CORRECT! And again, all of the 98s I mentioned are currently in grade 10, thus they are matriculating in 2017. Someone suggested because they are 98s they belong in the 2016-17 thread and I was merely stating that they are correctly placed in the 2017-18 thread as they all graduate in 2017. I'm talking about some top-98s who for various reasons (late bday, held back late start intentionally, repeat 7th or 9th grade depending on the prep school, etc).

Re: 2017-2018 Division I Commitments

I wonder if the Clarkson staff is aware of these? What are these girls, 14-15 years old right now?

Boyle is a NDC kid, so I would guess in her case at least the answer is yes. That being said, kind of an atypical Clarkson recruit historically....being an American and all! Be interesting to see if this one holds up in a couple of years.

It's getting too easy for them to win Natty Championships. They are changing their recruiting strategies to see if they can win the harder way, w/Americans;)

Shamrocks just played in a tournament at Clarkson, so unlikely they haven't had interaction with her.
 
Re: 2017-2018 Division I Commitments

I think her dad was the US Women's strength/conditioning coach along with various other hockey programs and pro teams. If that is the case, I'm sure she has had plenty of exposure to lots of schools and coaches.

Re: 2017-2018 Division I Commitments

Both U.S and Canadian 2017-18 grads have learned the early commitment process. Also, look at other years' lists, not just this one. Stoney Creek players seem to attract the attention of the D1 schools every year. More than a few are going to Mercyhurst, but there are also others going to different schools. Obviously a strong program.
 
Re: 2017-2018 Division I Commitments

Looking back at the lists, there are a lot of hockey programs sending multiple players to various D1 schools. Nice to see, means these programs are doing something right !!
