Re: Fic discussion - but always in tandem, youcouldmakealife

I'm not necessarily trying to defend her, but it's hard to figure out how the college hockey recruiting process works for someone who isn't a Jack Eichel. I tried to research it once for a fic idea and closed out my browser confused as hell. For a really minor plot point, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me.

(And I don't know if it works this way for hockey, but I know college football teams have tryouts for walk-ons who weren't recruited. A successful NFL player who graduated from my school two years before I did tried out for the football team his sophomore year...obviously that was a decision that worked out well for him.)

College hockey tends to not have open tryouts, at the D1 level - even walk-ons are recruited. When BU brought in players mid-season this year, they were recruited. It's not like football or even basketball, where you have walk-ons for practice.

I mean, I imagine it's a lot like NHL teams wooing free agents. Every video I've seen has had players saying they had a few teams in mind, some of them were interested, coaches/recruitment contacted them, they visited campuses, then signed their letter of intent, repeat.
