Recruiting Trail: Top Classes
During the course of a season, you'll hear hockey
coaches talk about the importance of winning one-on-one battles.
But it's ultimately a team game, which is why we cap our Recruting
Rankings with a look at the top incoming classes from coast
to coast.
Inside College Hockey compiled its 2008 Recruiting
Rankings with extensive input from college and junior coaches,
as well as professional scouts. Participants were asked to
evaluate recruits based on their projected impact at the college
level, not on their professional hockey prospects.
