I wonder if prospective recruits are aware of the style of hockey - "system", if you will, they would have to adapt to in order to play for colleges which attempt to recruit them?

I'm sure you do.

Actually, no--recruits go in completely blind as to their chosen school's style of play.  In fact, a sizable number pick their college out of a hat containing every Division I school, while some pick out of a hat containing only schools that begin with the same letter of the alphabet as their own first name.  It is widely known that Colin Greening thought he was entering a program that played firewagon hockey and was shocked--almost to the point of transferring to St. Cloud State--when Schafer told him he'd have to play two ways.

Does anybody have any idea what the payout is, if any,  to the ECAC or the individual schools that make the NCAA hockey tournament ?
