ST. PAUL — Information about American college hockey was scarce in British Columbia when Curtis Gedig, a senior defenseman at Ohio State, grew up and played junior hockey there. Local news media did not cover it. Few college games were televised. Michigan State and Boston College might as well have been in a different solar system.

“I really didn’t know a lot,” Gedig said. “I was really uneducated up there. I had to seek out friends who knew more about it, American guys on the team.”
