How Families Get Here

There is no single required route to college hockey. Club, high school, prep school and junior hockey are part of an ecosystem of possible paths, not a mandatory sequence, and the women's pathway has its own patterns. Beyond The Puck does not claim any level leads to a particular outcome.
