There are a comparitively small number of schools with D1 hockey programs. You have your Big Ten contingent (Michigan, MSU, OSU, UW, Minnesota) plus Notre Dame. You have the Northeast schools (BC, BU, Vermont, UNH, U-Mass, etc), the Ivies all have teams. Then there's the lesser known schools in the midwest (Minne-Duluth, North Dakota, St Cloud, Lake Superior, etc.) Plus a handful of MAAC schools, some super tiny liberal arts schools (mostly in the northeast like Niagara and Quinippiac) the two in Colorado (Colorado College and Denver U), and then the 4 randoms Alaska-Anchorage, Alaska-Fairbanks, Alabama-Huntsville, and Nebraska-Omaha...

So basically if you don't go to a school with a strong program or you didn't grow up with it, you probably wouldn't know it exists...
