NHL Matchup Tool Unveiled

Ever watch an NHL game and wonder what former college teammates might be facing off against each other? Or – better yet – what college rivalries are playing out again?

With College Hockey, Inc.’s NHL Matchup Tool, you can see all of the former college players participating in each NHL game, complete with their college accomplishments and their former teammates now in the NHL.

In addition, the site lists front office executives who played college hockey, former collegians in each team’s minor-league system and draft picks currently in college.

Thirty percent of NHL players played college hockey, so each game is rich with former college players. So far this season 272 former college players have appeared in the NHL, the second-highest total all-time. That total is on pace to eclipse last season’s 294 former college players who appeared in the NHL.
