When did 21 year old freshman become about college education? It has been after the fact justified (after coaches bastardized C Hockey by stretching the rules initially) about competing with CHL in the NHL lane. It hasn’t been about education for a while. And the same kids your worried about only having 2 years were probably going to be cut and left for the portal by these same coaches wishing two years of reaching campus. What the NCAA is doing is resetting the College part of College Hockey, but allas yes a couple birth years are collateral damage. it sucks but they are paying for the reset required.

If it goes through like this, then 2024 and 2025 high school graduates who are planning to play junior hockey this upcoming season will not have four years of eligibility. 2024 grads would have two. 2025 grads would have three.
Mike McMahon@MikeMcMahonCHN

The NCAA sent this to institutions today on age-based implementation. If you graduate HS this year, your eligibility clock starts this fall. There’s a small runway for 2026 freshmen (in hockey mostly 05s and 06s) to enroll this year and play under the old rules.

You cannot have 28-year-olds playing college sports for six or seven years. Right now, athletes have multiple extra years of eligibility, former pros are returning to college, and the transfer portal has become chaos. Our bipartisan bill restores common sense: five years of eligibility, one free transfer, and clear rules that protect athletes while preserving competition.

@permurr02 Look at the kids left in the portal right now. Do you think they are there by choice? Probably the same amount at risk in the 2006 class you are talking about. Open your appature.

LOL, this isn’t about the hockey folks. How are these kids supposed to get a college education in two seasons. Families will be paying an arm and a leg to finish their kid’s education after their two year scholarship is done.
Mike McMahon@MikeMcMahonCHN

Actually, many of these 06s might have TWO years. Most 06s graduated in 2024. 2024-25 2025-26 2026-27 2027-28 2028-29 Those are their 5 years but if they do another year of junior they’d only have the last 2 years. And potentially no route to enroll now.

Matthew, did you say anything to defend the 2004s when the NCAA opened up college hockey mid year 2024-25? I didn’t think so. These changes are hard some class of kids are going to get screwed when change happens. Life lesson for kids. Go get an education, play ACHA. The better ones will find a college path and thus a pro path.

The NCAA is completely screwing the next two years of recruits. The same thing happened when they implemented roster caps and they ended up having to add DSAs to fix it. Completely unfair to these players that they have not added something similar here.
Mike McMahon@MikeMcMahonCHN

This is also what the NCAA sent out less than a week ago. Last Friday. Now what they have sent out today says that any player who does not enroll this season will be subject to the new rule. That completely contradicts what they sent out a week ago.

it’s unfortunate but the roll back is going to affect some class. If not 2006 it’s the 2009 or 2010 who will have to try to insert themselves into college hockey versus older player with more linitied spots because of 5 year eligability. There is no way around affecting a birthyear who will have adverse consequences. Its unfortunate for the 2006 but if not them then some other birth year. This is payback for a system that went beyond the appropriate limits. Its like those kids who had to graduate, start then study remotely during Covid. Bad luck of the draw, its not fair but it happend live with it.

If you’re an 06 planning to play another year in the CHL or USHL, you just found out that you might only have 3yrs of eligibility when you arrive. In many cases you can’t arrive this fall even if you wanted to because your team might be up against the NCAA-imposed roster cap.

This is what happens what you have to unravel bad policy to begin with. There is no easy fix. It’s on the coaches for getting to this point where they are enrolling 23 year old freshman with over two years of pro experience. Yes it’s within the rules but should they have had enough self awareness to know they probably shouldn’t? Shame on NCAA hockey and College Hockey Inc for chasing what best competed against the CHL (21 year old age out freshman) instead of what was most aligned and best for a path that was for kids who wanted a degree first and potential path to pro hockey second. THATS! College Hockey.

Devil’s advocate: isn’t the reason 18-19yo aren’t ready most of the time due to the fact that college hockey skews older because of players coming in at 20/21? Could it be possible that bringing down the average age of college hockey would make it easier for 18/19s? Thoughts?
Mike McMahon@MikeMcMahonCHN

On hockey and age-based admission: I had this in the newsletter a few weeks ago. More than 80% of college hockey freshmen last year were junior age-outs (20+ years old). 409 out of 509 players.

NCAA Hockey “5 in 5” Eligibility Position Paper Please find below a link to an extensive white paper addressing concerns around the proposed NCAA eligibility changes and their detrimental impact on ice hockey. Some key points from our paper: •The proposal would dramatically alter a decades-long development pipeline that has supported academic progress, competitive parity, and professional player development in NCAA hockey. •It would disproportionately disadvantage the 2006–2010 birth cohorts, who have invested substantial time and financial resources based on the existing, well-established pathway. •Many incoming freshmen could face material uncertainty in roster status, development trajectories, and long-term opportunities despite an implicit understanding between athletes, institutions, and the NCAA. •Sport-specific carve-outs are consistent with NCAA practice; men’s ice hockey already benefits from tailored rules for drafted players and extended enrollment deferrals. •The white paper advances policy alternatives that preserve the core intent of age-based eligibility reform while avoiding harm to players and families and preserving a development pipeline that demonstrably functions well.

@HedgeyeDJ Whatever it takes to stop a system that almost forces kids to be 21 year old freshmen graduating at 25. The trickle down runs through d3 and acha. The new rule cleans this up and gets kids out of college by 22 and 23. Want more hockey development after play in a pro league.

I didn’t know this, but I asked Claude. It’s no wonder D1 hockey has such great graduation rates when Canadian CHL players who rent NCAA hockey for a year or two won’t affect the 21 year old stat you are loving. Claude - “Players who leave early for pro hockey are excluded from the GSR calculation — not counted as non-graduates. The NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate removes student-athletes who leave an institution while in good academic standing before exhausting their athletics eligibility from the calculation entirely. So a sophomore who signs an entry-level NHL contract in good standing simply drops out of the denominato” Not sure I agree who leave for pros and don’t graduate should be excluded. They take roster spots.

@TheRealMCZ @teeraps @HedgeyeDJ Except you can remove the Ivy league from the hockey graduation rate and it doesn't really effect it. When the CHL players age out (21) without much for professional opportunities, they use their CHL education fund to attend Canadian universities (USports) to play more hockey.

And I thought you were smart enough that you could read. @megynkelly and @TuckerCarlson if you read (or even bettter listened to the entire podcast), say the budget for the US Millitary is 1.5T not that we spend 1.5T on Isreal. You just couldn’t help but attempt to gaslight us taking the liberty to misquote both truth tellers. He dismantled you in your interview and i am sure your but still hurts.

Neither of these ppl are dumb. I worked w/ them at Fox. They know how to Google basic facts. The US provides $3.8 billion (NOT $1.5 trillion) but @Israel spends many X over that on US. We get a huge ROI-are they too lazy to research or intentionally lying?
The Megyn Kelly Show@MegynKellyShow

.@TuckerCarlson: "Israel could not sustain a blockade or defend itself for 24 hours without the $1.5 trillion U.S. military backstopping it and enforcing the long-standing defense guarantee... If that were to go away, Israel would have two choices: Suffer elimination or use nuclear weapons."
