Credit to the Kid Themselves!!
I think we can agree to disagree on this one. There are many variables that go into hockey development. Just for argument sake here is my take.
70-75% Is the kid themselves their athletic ability - their work ethic - their love for the game
20 - 25% Coaching - Skill Development Programs
5% Organization that they grew up in.
5% ND/ Mdget AAA or Junior Program they attend etc.
So yes I agree ND had very little to do with their draft status in the overall big picture but I think if you talk to these kids parents they would say it was a factor in maybe their overall draft position but also because of the extra ice time, coaching etc it was also very good for their overall development as a player.
Also a bit surprised no Regina kids. I respectfully disagree that Notre Dame should take much credit for the kids on this list. Those kids would have been there anyways. Credit should be given to the coaches that truly developed those kids for the 9 years leading up to Notre Dame. Food for thought.
