With the Division I hockey season well underway, it's time to take a quick look at players and coaches with connections to the Green Mountain State.
This list, culled from the collegehockeystats.net list of rosters, includes Vermont residents competing in Division I, UVM alumni who are coaching in Division I and current players who have transferred from UVM.
