siouxnews Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I don't think it mimics it in the most important way -- the maturity of the players. how so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
as15 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 how so? Ages of players, 16-20, compared to 18-25, with the majority being over 20 years old, and very few being 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 So in summarizing some excellent posts....Why play junior hockey? ~Money under the table, plus the money they get per week. ~Games, games, games ~Travel ~Not having to worry about scholastics ~Exposure I know there is also a system in place to compensate these kids as far as paying for college after playing in the CHL as well. Us diehard college hockey fans can spit and cuss at the CHL all we want too, but it isn't the worst option. NOW QUIT TAKING OUR FRICKEN COMMITTED RECRUITS!!!

In regards to the CHL education package, all benefits are void if that player signs any sort of pro contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem I have with the CHL is the sneaky and slimy tactics they use in getting kids to choose them over the NCAA. If a kid wants to choose the CHL path, that's fine. I just don't think they always have all the information they should have before they make that decision and this is because of NCAA rules and the deceptive tactics of the CHL.

watchmaker49 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 In regards to the CHL education package, all benefits are void if that player signs any sort of pro contract.

crb1 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Please let this thread die. If we want to contiune the Jr. vs NCAA discussion lets start a new thread. Seth Jones is not coming to UND so lets move on from this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Considering UND has had players like Parise, Toews, Oshie, etc. pass on MJ, I think we can hold our own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxForever Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Considering UND has had players like Parise, Toews, Oshie, etc. pass on MJ, I think we can hold our own. Don't leave out Travis Zacjac ever in this list! He is one of the best two-way forwards in the NHL and a huge leveraging name to UND too.
