Giving a ND kid a chance at UND would have been nice. As I mentioned previously, having spent time with him a couple of years back, he's a super high-quality person. I'll be cheering for him. 1 Quote

brianvf Posted Saturday at 05:21 AM Posted Saturday at 05:21 AM CHN article on the proposed NCAA change to 5yr eligibility: https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2026/04/24_College-Hockey-Bracing-For.php It would certainly change a lot of things, especially on the junior hockey side of things before entering college. Teams like Mankato would be hit hard, as they usually try to recruit those players that blossom a little later. Then, you could also have kids staying for 5yrs if they wanted. Pretty crazy. Some changes look to be coming. 1 Quote

Some changes look to be coming. Would hope this doesn't go through, at least for hockey. Hockey's developmental structure is through junior, not HS, in 98% of the world & 90% of North America. Would hate to limit hockey careers by putting a time clock on eligibility 1 Quote
