What College Hockey is to you.

Point of clarification - those are NOT major junior, they are junior, but not major junior. My guess is no. That the OP's answer is they just had some polish applied in the last couple of years. They were developed in whatever organization they played in their formative years.

I'm guessing it probably doesn't bother the OP either that some of these evil canadians recruited down to play college hockey in the states later went on to be successful MN state high school hockey coaches, bringing with them knowledge they gained growing up in Canada but now willing to pass along to Minnesota kids in their "formative years". Guys like Cary Eades, Curt Giles, Jim Archibald, etc...

Let's face it, hockey has benefitted from people who have developed the Minnesota high school game, and the Minnesota high school game, and the University of Minnesota by extension, have benefitted from a lot of hockey knowledge from outside of that state, including Canada. By some college hockey fans poking fun at or ridiculing the U of M hockey program, or more likely, some of it's fans, we are not denying this fact.
