Not just NE boarding schools. The super 8 in Massachusetts is dominated by catholic high schools like Catholic Memorial (where the Harvard hockey coach went to high school). The boarding schools often have PGs on their teams, the catholic schools do not.

Did some research, the school cited in the video clip, Mount Saint Charles, has sent 20 players to the pros since 1979. Of the 3 americans drafted first in the first round of the NHL draft 2 of them went to Mount (Brian Lawton and Bryan Berard). Of the 20 members of the 1998 US Olympic hockey team 3 of them went to Mount Saint Charles (Garth Snow, Mathieu Schneider and Keith Carney).

Here is an article from my local paper, the Providence Journal Bulletin:

The article is about the program and the book that was just released:

To support browninfall's comment, Brian Berard left Mount Saint Charles after his junior year in hs to go to Michigan for his senior year and play for a junior hockey team.
