From OmAA and Hux on the college board interesting historical perspective:

Typically there are 28-33 Minnesotians on the list come the late signing period. One contributor to there being less at this point when compared to last year is that there were not any '91/'09s on this summer's U18 squad. As we saw in '07, the Minnesotians on the U18 Select team, (9 or 10 if I recall) were all college eligible and were committed come the early signing period.

Additionally, I think that some of the tapering off can be attributed to heavy scouting of the summer and fall tournaments in the East (Chowder Cup, Magog, NAHA, Stoney Creek, Assabet) which see limited participation by players from Minnesota. Also, as has been noted, there seems to be a fair increase in the number of players from full season teams (Canadian included) replacing the Minnesota high school and New England Prep players.

As promised, below is a link to a recent Ontario Blog discussion WRT this subject and posting the detailed numerical breakdown of recent year recuiting classes from that discussion:

http://www.network54.com/Forum/28302...Admissions+etc

The Canadian D1 recruit numbers the last two years were higher percentage wise (40% ) than those in the two years prior to that. This data certainly does not suggest a declining number of Canucks getting into D1. The numbers and details are below. Ontario consistently fields aout 45% of the overall recruit class.

05-06 D1 Recruit Class Totals: 211...129 USA (61%) , 79 CAN (37%) , 3 Int ( 1.5%) Ontario accounts for 46% of the Canadians
06-07 D1 Recruit Class Totals: 201...128 USA (64%) , 62 CAN (31%) , 9 Int ( 5%) Ontario accounts for 47% of the Canadians
07-08 D1 Recruit Class Totals: 164....95 USA (58%), 65 CAN (40%), 4 Int (2%) Ontario accounts for 44% of the Canadians
08-09 D1 Recruit Class Totals: 208...119 USA (57%), 83 CAN (40%) , 6 INt (3%) Ontario accounts for 43% of the Canadians

*** Not sure why the overall numbers were lower in 07-08, but the percentages of source were consistent with the other years.

Did both girls sign with these teams? Just curious, I had heard Ali was going to Concordia. That could have just been a rumor. I'm sure media would know all the facts.

Pretty much a done deal for both girls

I heard from other sources as well regarding Gina Dodge...cannot confirm the other gal.

Will be fun to watch a relaxed Gina Dodge finish out the season, it looked as if she was pushing a little too hard recently.
