They are really so lazy that the AI players aren’t wearing jerseys that even remotely look like the @newenglandwolv1 jerseys actually looks like. Not even the same colors.
Common guys. Spend $50 and have a graphic designer make it.
English
@GarbergP @Mariucci_Guy Oh it will, and it won’t just be senior year. When this rule passes, jr hockey teams will more than likely be looking at juniors in HS as well
English
@Mariucci_Guy I think you’re right. The current system favors older players and requires that year or two of jr’s to compete. I know there’s a feeling it’s gonna hurt Minnesota high school hockey, but I don’t know the pressure to play juniors their senior year would necessarily happen.
English
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?

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.
English
@ski_brah @btfd09 @ClankoMedia Almost every high school produces D1 hockey players? You are very mistaken and very far off on this one.
English
@btfd09 @ClankoMedia Why do people say things like this? Almost every high school in the northeast produces D1 hockey players semi regularly and anyone who plays varsity for more than a year can find a spot in d2 or 3 somewhere.

@MinnHockeyWatch @ChippewaSteel @ClankoMedia You’re not wrong. They are pretty much paying a half a million dollar tuition for their son to play in the league 😂
In all reality this is on the @NAHLHockey for not having some sort of rule that owners can’t have kids on the team
Chippewa will be awful until the org is sold
English
@JrHockeyTruth @ChippewaSteel @ClankoMedia You’re not paying $500k for a franchise to let your kid ride the pine.
English
The @ChippewaSteel are having trouble finding a HC, why?
They have an owner whose son is a average goalie
She refuses to hire any1 who doesn’t agree that her son will be the starter
She also fired a HC last yr as he refused to play her son over the better goalie
@ClankoMedia

@EmmaS2332 @RogerFoste82882 @ChippewaSteel @ClankoMedia Yes we do have the insight Emma Stahl 😂 you are just confirming everything with your anger
English
@EmmaS2332 @ChippewaSteel @ClankoMedia And you just changed your last name from “Stahl” 😂 you thought we missed that?
English
@EmmaS2332 @ChippewaSteel @ClankoMedia Really who’s your coach then? The real joke is that your fam bought a jr hockey team so your bro could have a spot in the NAHL. If mom & dad didnt buy a team he wouldnt be playing in the league
Seems that every1 else agrees
Im warning ppl so they dont waste their $ at your camp

@JrHockeyTruth @ChippewaSteel @ClankoMedia Embarrassing organization. The goalies Dad is the real owner. they only use the wife because they think if they use her last name that people won’t put together that the goalie kid is not related to the owner.
English
@Jensenfive5 And if you think that BCHL teams are going to take a kid from this league over a kid from the NAHL or a top player from the VIJHL, I think you are mistaken
English
@JrHockeyTruth The BCHL will be affiliating with this league. I will guarantee you players from this league will move up to BCHL this year. Will there be lots? Probably not, but when you say none you are very wrong
English
@Jensenfive5 This is essentially Jr. B/C. They didn’t get Tier 1 status because they were not good enough. Not a single player from this league will move up to the BCHL, NAHL, or NCAA. None of them.
English
@JrHockeyTruth Disagree with you here. These are long established teams. The original league chose to “move up a tier” and these teams were left behind. Some really solid franchises.
English
I guess they really let anyone just start a league….
Another irrelevant league with irrelevant teams that will never send players to a higher level.
Goodluck 🤡

They should call the cops for charging $18.50 to a 3 year old for attending their sibling’s event.
Someone sent me this one. Gross. #NoGateFees

@Roger_Chiasson @Bryan_Long @roscoe2021 @walsha Roger, if that was even close to true you wouldn’t be bragging to someone you don’t know at 4am 😂
Easy example for you right here on what juniors does for a player
TJ Hughes, captain of Michigan, is another perfect example
Big Bag A Knuckles@BigBagAKnuckles
The @NCAA and @NCAAIceHockey want to make sure success stories like this never happen again.
English
@JrHockeyTruth @Bryan_Long @roscoe2021 @walsha Get back to me after you have talked to multiple NHL GMs on the topic. Then it will be worthwhile discussion where you bring real insight to the tsble and not tier 3 junior hot takes.

The “5 in 5” rule cannot and will not stand as applied to College Hockey.
Front Office Sports@FOS
College hockey is uniting to challenge the NCAA's proposed "5-in-5" rule to give athletes a five-year window to compete. Hockey's unique development pipeline means some players' eligibility windows could shrink to 2-3 years. The sport doesn't want to be "collateral damage."
English
@Luggs_Harvey @FOS Why would you leave college 🏒 early unless you are drafted/signed and your NHL team wants you too
TJ Hughes, capt of Michigan. 5 yrs of juniors before he got to UofM
Theres been tons of plyrs who play 3 yrs of jrs and do 4 years in college then transition into AHL/ECHL fine
English
@JrHockeyTruth @FOS That is the exact opposite of what should be happening.
Then what leave college after 2-3 years to play minors son I don’t “miss my window” then forgo the rest of my education.
Your thinking has ruined education and hockey.

@TomGrothJr @FOS It’s not mandatory Tom….. look at the numbers below. There are 18 year olds who play as freshmen, but not many. Juniors is there for players who may need that extra development before jumping into the NCAA

English
@JrHockeyTruth @FOS BTW - ice hockey players reach their prime 3 years earlier (25) than FB & BB players (28). Hockey relies on fast-twitch explosiveness. There is zero reason to make JR’s mandatory when it is inferior to college hockey in every way.
English
@CroninMt @ryanpmulvaney No one suggested to change anything about other sports. What the hope is they keep it how it’s been and let hockey do what it’s been doing for the last 20 years. Hes suggesting that there is going to be a million lawsuits on the NCAAs desk when this thing passes and he is correct
English
@ryanpmulvaney So what percentage of NHL is American, 25%? Yeah we should change all our sports for a small percentage of Americans in a sport played in 6 states that loses revenue. Please tell me what I’m missing here?
English
The proposed 5-in-5 rule presenting additional problems.
College hockey players are the next group of potential future plaintiffs who might challenge the rule.
