Hockey

Odds of a High School Hockey Player making a College Varsity Roster 2022:

These are the odds of a random US High School hockey player making a College roster. Actual odds are likely better for most athletes motivated to play in college due to several factors: High school participation includes multi-sport athletes who typically play only one sport in college, many high school athletes do not intend to compete at the college level, and unfortunately, a significant portion of high school students –  including athletes – do not go on to college. While nearly 70% of 2021 female high school graduates enrolled in college, only 55% of male graduates enrolled in either a 2-year or 4-year school, and as a result males currently represent only about 4 in 10 college students nationwide.

189 US Colleges sponsor varsity Hockey teams:

Hockey is an equivalency sport for NCAA scholarship purposes, so partial scholarships can  be awarded (up to 30 per team in NCAA Division I) and meet the limit per school.  For example, an NCAA Division I school can award 27 players each a 2/3  scholarship and still meet the  limit of 18 per school.  Hockey teams at most NCAA II member schools compete at the NCAA I level. NAIA and several NCAA schools with varsity level hockey programs compete in the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) which is composed primarily of club programs.

* Average Athletic Scholarship is the average annual amount of athletically related student aid per athlete for ALL varsity sports sponsored by the specific school. Some athletes receive full awards, some receive partial and many receive none. Additionally some sports within a school may be fully funded, some partially and some sports provide no athletic scholarships. Private schools generally have higher tuition than public schools and the average award will reflect this.

Do you have the skills to play College Hockey?

What level of player are coaches looking for and who are you competing with for a roster spot? A good way to get an idea is to look at the high-school bios of players currently on the roster of schools that interest you.
