Does the NCAA have an answer for the success of eric, mark, and Jordan staal?

A couple of sets I haven't done yet are currently playing with Dartmouth:
Jim and Joe Gaudet (also happen to be the coach's sons)
Connor and Mark Goggin
Don't forget Walsh brothers (currently on the roster): sophmore Nick and freshman Dustin!
UNH has had many players who've had brothers play for other ncaa teams. In recent years, UNH had Colin and Brett Hemingway. Colin was a the far better player as the older brother...

Last year at BU the Gilroy brothers... in that case the older was the much more accomplished player. Also the Saponari brothers, in their case the younger seems to be the more dominant player.
UNH has had many players who've had brothers play for other ncaa teams. In recent years, UNH had Colin and Brett Hemingway. Colin was a the far better player as the older brother. They also had Greg Collins who was the younger brother of BC's Chris Collins. Chris(older) was an all-american at BC while Greg was mostly a checking line player for UNH. James van Riemsdyk just left UNH after his sophomore year to sign with Philly and has had a solid rookie campaign. His younger brother, Trevor just committed to UNH for the fall of 2011 and is far less heralded than his older brother. Jay Camper, younger brother of Miami's Carter Camper, is also committed to UNH.
Currently playing for UNH with brothers who have also played in the ncaa are Matt Campanale (brother Chris just finished playing for AIC, Scott Pavelski (brother Joe played for Wisconsin), Blake Kessel (brother Phil played for Minnesota).
