"The EHL provides opportunity for exposure to their players, along with knowledgeable coaches that make it easy to communicate. Over the years we've had a lot of luck with EHL players coming to us with a realistic view of themselves. They understand how to be coached and know there's a development model for the next level."

"We like recruiting in the EHL for a few different reasons. The teams are very well-run and all of the coaches have the players best interest in mind. The players that come out of the league are prepared academically ready for college, so you know you are getting a good student, and lastly many of the players that come out of the EHL are true difference makers in the ice."
