Also part of that CHN article was this: The one transfer and the limit of pro athletes rules would both be welcome IMO. That'd get rid of these ECHL pros that Powers loves to sign...get those guys out of college hockey. And also no more 2 or 3 school guys that just transfer to a new school after every season. I would like to see both of those rules go into effect, if they can be enforced, of course.

23 year old "freshman" Powers getting as many ECHL players as he can to try and not finish last again.

Haha, they probably had a mini heart attack for a second there.

Speaking of Plante...I think EP made a mistake...otherwise Max is playing for us next season: https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/597566/max-plante

Sounds like Max Heise may have flipped from MSU to DU:

Doesn't sound promising. Something tells me that some more lawsuits against the NCAA will be coming.

Another one way way too young. So sorry to hear. Rest in peace, @dakotadan

Yeah I was skeptical of the 15 school comment too. If they’re seriously thinking about any more than 5 schools, I’d be surprised.

Must have been during a weekday then. Yeah, if they return to WHL for one more season, I could see UND being in play for 27/28. Assuming Reschny signs at the end of this season, but part of me thinks Zellers returns for his JR season unless he absolutely explodes this year. Zellers, Simpson, Williams...Ruck's? Could be real fun to watch.

Regarding the Ruck's...this is from Grinnell so obviously not gospel by any stretch. By I could see them returning to WHL for one more season and then going NCAA. There were multiple comments in that thread that mentioned that the Ruck's visited UND last week...also no idea on SOURCES? for that. Haha.

That honestly wouldn't surprise me. PSU lost a ton this offseason (assuming McKenna signs as well).

Zero chance for this year, for sure. I could see them going back to CHL for another season though too unless there is a blue blood that has two open forward spots and some NIL to spare. Then maybe CHL for this fall, then NCAA for a season?

Free Athletic article on the Ruck twins: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7125603/2026/05/16/liam-markus-ruck-twins-2026-nhl-draft-sedins/?source=emp_shared_article&unlocked_article_code=1.i1A.Uzab.IYJyGtG9KHWg Not sure how many NCAA schools still have two forward spots remaining and the NIL resources to land them both this year if they move NCAA. I guess we'll see.

The latter. They start at 19, they get 5 years of eligibility. They start at 20, they get 4. And so on.

Was just reading this as well. Hopefully the NCAA listens and accepts this proposal for hockey, would make a lot more sense.
