A total of 38 AJHL Alumni hit the ice this weekend as the NCAA Division 1 tournament kicks off with first round action.
Nintey-two NHL draft picks dot the rosters of the 16 teams in the NCAA Tournament, led by North Dakota (16), Michigan (13) and Boston College (11). NHL fans in Florida (eight draftees) and Chicago (seven) should be particularly interested in the action this weekend. While most players are selected prior to arriving at college some – like Denver’s Nick Shore – are eligible for the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
