College Players At 2014 NHL Development Camps, By College

A number of college hockey players are trading in summer vacation for a chance to spend time at NHL prospect development camps.

Over 300 active and future players from 54 schools (53 of 59 Division 1 schools plus Chris Waterstreet of D3 Oswego State) are attending various camps running throughout the month of July.

Many of those attending are getting a chance to be coached by the teams holding their draft rights. However, more than one hundred collegians are going without being drafted. These players are invited by NHL teams and look to show and grow in front of the pros. Several undrafted free agents have made enough of an impression at these camps to be signed later in their careers.

In fact, ten undrafted collegians - Colgate players Kyle Baun and Michael Borkowski, Scott Savage (Boston College), Vinni Lettieri (Minnesota), Collin Stevens (Union), Drew Brevig (Ohio State), Cole Bardreau Cornell), Troy Stecher (North Dakota), Ryan Obuchowski (Yale) and Alex Globke (Lake Superior State) - plus recently graduated Mercyhurst defenseman Nick Jones, are attending two camps. (The Boston and Detroit combination, featuring two teams inviting a lot of prospects, seems to be big.)

Boston University goalie Matt O'Connor is attending three(!) different camps.

Some teams (Tampa Bay, New York Rangers) have already finished camps, but most are going on this week.

Below is a list of every active and future college player attending a development camp sorted by college and conference. Note that this is just active and future players. There are many more with college ties who have graduated or signed a professional contract attending development camps that are not included for the purposes of this list.

Not every NHL team has released a development camp roster. A few clubs - Buffalo, Carolina,, New Jersey and Pittsburgh - are holding camps next week and only a few players are known. (7/15 UPDATE: All 30 teams have released rosters.)

We will update this list when that happens, but if you see someone not here who should be, let us know.

Hockey East is sending the most players by conference with 74 - ECAC comes next with 65 - yet the numbers are fairly spread out across the six conferences. If you go by players per team when this article was originally posted, NCHC (average of 8 players per team) and Big Ten (7.66) lead the pack. (The numbers may have changed as more teams release rosters.)

The biggest difference between conferences is the split with players attending that are draftees and invites. Atlantic Hockey (all invites), ECAC and WCHA lean towards the latter. National champion Union's representation is completely made up of invites. On the other hand, a conference like the draft-heavy Big Ten (Minnesota's 15 active players leads all college hockey) leans 2:1 towards drafted players

Note that not every drafted NHL player attends his team's development camp. Some have summer classes and utilize the "student" portion of student-athlete. (This is the case for several Michigan players.) Some work. Others decide - or have it decided for them - to not pay the money to go to development camp.
