A free, HD broadcast of the game will be available on HockeyTV. More than one-third of all Division I programs have a committed recruit in the game, with 32 players committed to 22 schools. Boston University and Minnesota Duluth lead all schools with three recruits represented.
The two teams – divided roughly on conference lines – will be coached by Dan Muse (East) and Jay Varady (West). Muse is a former Yale assistant coach who played at Stonehille College; Varady played at Union.
In addition to the game’s rosters (below), commits Eeli Tolvanen (Boston College) and Eero Teravainen (Denver) were selected to the game but replaced due to injury.
The selection process for players competing in the game was completed in cooperation with NHL general managers and scouts, NHL Central Scouting and USHL general managers.
