Unlike the football program, which churns out talent that moves on to the NFL on a yearly basis, the Ohio State men’s hockey program has seen just 31 former players appear in an NHL game. By comparison, the University of Michigan has had over 100 former players go on to make it into the NHL. While Ohio State should be proud of the number of players they have produced that have made it to the professional ranks, they aren’t exactly considered a college hockey powerhouse. Well, at least the men’s team program isn’t. The Ohio State women’s hockey program has a shiny new trophy to prove that they are an emerging one.
