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.

Advice for hockey parents: Don’t always watch for highlights. Start watching for patterns. Consistency > moments.


Evan Ritt went from a walk-on at the University of Denver and never playing much his first three years, before becoming a regular his senior year and helping them win a national championship. What he needed to get back to in order to play: The fundamentals.

Skills coach @JonathanSigalet saw his playing days end and coaching career begin with @frolunda_hc. His biggest takeaway from the legendary Swedish organization? They allow young players to make mistakes. 📺: youtu.be/7hcbu_bjuOY

There are always going to be calls you don’t like especially this time of year. You can’t control the whistle. You can control your response. Stay disciplined. Stay locked in. Play your game. That’s how you win when it matters most.

The Dallas Stars played 92 minutes and 10 seconds of playoff hockey last night without allowing a shot on net from the most dangerous area of the ice...

I've seen a lot of comments about NCAA D3 athletics. Unless you have watched recently, I suggest you either don't comment or go watch. D3 is much better than what people think, especially those who haven't watched


COACHES: Are you practicing inverted rushes (1v2, 2v3, 3v4) in practice? We all love a good odd-man rush drill, but having less offensive players is great for development. It forces the player with the puck to have to protect it and buy time for teammates to get to spots of support. And it forces players without the puck to have to work hard to get to spots of support. Here are two great plays from Logan Cooley and Cutter Gauthier as examples. They both enter the zone with a number disadvantage around them, but do an amazing job protecting the puck, buying time and keeping possession. Eventually both teams end up getting rewarded with goals. Great job by two former NTDP teammates!!!
