Incoming Freshmen for Fall of 2012

Re: Incoming Freshmen for Fall of 2012

What happened to the ACHA kids who didn't make Guy's cut? Did they stay there as reserve/practice players, transfer to D3 or will the continue to play ACHA hockey at PSU? I'm wondering in particular about Tim Acker, a
North Carolina kid out of Westminster School.

The above is a Burlington Free Press article describing the problems recruiting mens hockey players in Quebec.
The only comment I have is having visited Rimouski on a trip in Quebec I think it is safe to say that it is no Burlington with is location on the lake and being a great University town. But Norwich over the years has recruited a lot of great hockey players including the last year's team captain. But I can see why some teams stay away and recruit in Ontario , Western Canada, and the US Junior leagues.

I believe Major Junior teams often recruit many more players than can make the final roster and if they play a few exhabition games or real games they lose there chance to play NCAA hockey.

It is hard to figure why a Quebec recruit would give up a full ride to some team like UVM or Harvard (worth $200,000 +-) to play Major Junior in Quebec unless the player plans to attend a Canadian U team after junior hockey.

I was under the impression that Ivies didn't give athletic scholarships. Your point is valid for non-Ivie schools, however.

I have always been under the impression that if a player can not afford to attend a Ivy or NESCAC team because of family income the financial aid package takes care of the tab.
 
Re: Incoming Freshmen for Fall of 2012

For sure. However there is more to getting into an Ivie or NESCAC school than being good at hockey.

I think Amherst has an admissions policy where any admitted applicant can attend regardless of their ability to pay.

That's "need blind" admissions, which applies at all NESCACs with some variations (some don't apply it to international, transfer, and wait list admittees).

I think it was Amherst that has the most expensive tuition, but in turn gives the most F.A..
