Just because a player isn't listed in the twittersphere as a recruit, it doesn't mean he won't be lacing it up as a neophyte NESCACer next fall at Sage or Alfond or the Malden Valley Forum II (get an on campus rink already, Tufts!). The converse is true as well, as a 140 character commitment doesn't mean you'll be on the roster come November 1.
The recruiting mix is pretty evenly distributed among prep school players and there's also a mix of mix of players from hockey recruits to the few that are looking to play as many sports as they can.
And if you like stories told in 140 character snippets, check out some of the game stories from past NESCAC playoffs and NCAA Tournament games.
If you know of other recruits twitter claims for the 'CAC , please tweet them at us (@hockeyinthecac) or shoot us an email with the link to the tweet. We'll update the post as more come in.
Special thanks to Neutral Zone (@_Neutral_Zone), which include rankings for their recruits. Former Tufts coach Brian Murphy is actually a scout now for Neutral Zone.
Anyhow, on to the tweets!
