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 2010 Recruiting
Rankings with input from college coaches and professional
scouts. Participants were asked to evaluate recruits based
on their projected impact at the college level, not on their
professional hockey prospects.
