Breaking away from the NCAA is not a realistic response by college hockey to the NCAA's unpopular five-in-five eligibilty proposal. There are less childish ways to make this work, if the NCAA will listen. My column, with comments from Scott Sandelin: duluthnewstribune.com/sports/bulldog…












Things were passionate today in Florida as coaches tried to explain to NCAA lawyers the impact of their new age/eligibility rules on hockey, and where hockey is different.






The 5 year thing I don't believe would be as drastically terrible for hockey. Because when combined with the age limits, it won't reduce opportunities. But it would drastically alter the relationship to juniors.



Pretty big news in the northeast small-college world. Saint Anselm is a great Division II program that just won 25 games last season, but will drop to Division III in 27-28



St. John’s has landed their second international commit, as Đorđije Jovanović will be coming to Queens, per @DraftExpress Jovanović, a 22 year-old from Montenegro, previously played in the G-League for the Ontario Clippers from 2022 to 2024. #SJUBB





Until the NCAA sets clear parameters on transfers, independent programs will continue to be used as a holding ground for players chasing better offers. It has turned into an extra year of junior hockey used to earn a move elsewhere.
