There is the slow steady path to D1...redshirt the kid to be a 15 year old freshman...stick around, maybe do some USHL/NAHL pre and post season (high school season is short).  I would be curious if they flipped the analysis to NHL as the goal rather than D1...My guess that of the kids that make it all the way, very few played just local high school all the way through being 18.  A lot probably depends on circumstances and team too...and if you bail your local association to play at a private school in Minny high school as well.

Certainly lots of variations at play and this "study" was pretty anecdotal, but with that said I'd imagine if you changed it to NHL instead of D1 it would just favor the HS route further. How do you think it would flip? That's essentially saying kids that don't make it D1 are more likely to get to the NHL than kids that play D1....so I'm confused on your thoughts there. Unless you think kids that leave early go major juniors more often or something.

No, what I am hypothesizing is that the "exceptions" that left early and still made D1 likely matriculated to the NHL at a higher percentage than the bulk of the players that played all 4 years of high school, then eventually went D1.  Nothing wrong with the slow and steady path- but think about like NTDP...do they count as leaving early (i would think so)...
