This combined with the new CSC lawyer hire today to investigate and enforce make it sound like we may see some action coming. Bigger question is whether penalties can withstand legal scrutiny.
Mit Winter@WinterSportsLaw
The NCAA has adopted emergency legislation specifying DI athletes can lose eligibility if NIL deals aren’t reported. If a school discovers an athlete may not have reported a deal it has 2 days to review & report to the CSC. If a deal isn’t then reported, athlete is ineligible.

@BCHL_Alberta Which is why I predicted that players would come back. I didn't say it was the best thing, though for some they will be stunted in their development because they can't handle it mentally and emotionally.
English
@RickBreasthead “Being the guy” is embedded in the CHL narrative. Why fight for ice time when you can “be the guy” in Guelph?
English
Keep in mind that CHL toadies’ big flex is that kids that can’t cut it in the NCAA will slink back to their bush league and score a point a game.
English
@pschneids111 @Pete___Hughes @collectsdecks @tcgold3n @SchlossmanGF Every level has this. Who is guilty? Not always the team, many times the family/advisor demands it or they will go elsewhere. Less of an issue now, as NCAA and Jr A leagues were the threat that was given.
English
This won't and shouldn't be limited to players who are struggling. Some will relish in the struggle and others will need a regroup. All of it is OK. Also, Josephson should have stayed in the WHL, no matter what the opinions are around the why. @Pete___Hughes @SchlossmanGF
Off the Puck@OHLoffthepuck
We should be getting close to hearing some names not finding success in the NCAA thinking of making the move to/back to the CHL
English
Compare this to what Zegras did last night. That is why coaches don't respect Zegras, and neither do most players. He plays soft. He can only take a cheap shot. Count how many current NHL coaches are on the ice. Their teams won't want Zegras. Ever.

@Rints4Hockey @eliteprospects @CHLHockey @MitchLBrown @OHLHockey @TheWHL @QMJHL @USAHockeyNTDP NTDP isn't willing to admit that they have been passed by. The CHL will need to go back to the Top Prospects Game with 40 of their players instead just to have a competitive game.
English
@eliteprospects @CHLHockey @MitchLBrown @OHLHockey @TheWHL @QMJHL PREDICTION: How long until they change the rules or just cancel this?
The biggest winner here will be @CHLHockey by a million. I hope they open the floodgates. @USAHockeyNTDP will be whining (already are) about it….
English
It's official 🔥22 players are headed to Alberta to represent Team @CHLHockey at the 2025 #CHLUSAProspectsChallenge 🤩
@MitchLBrown has the breakdown of this year's roster and what we'll be looking to see from each player at the event 👀

Pray for all the teachers bringing their students to a school day game where the team’s name is the 67’s.
Ottawa 67’s@Ottawa67sHockey
IT'S THE 6-7 SCHOOL DAY GAME 🫣 10:30 am | @TD_Place vs. @OHLSteelheads 📺 @FloHockey

@Rints4Hockey @albmau The answer is none. The right players will make it.

CHL to NCAA talk
Dan 👍👍👍@NewFoundDanHKY
@OHLoffthepuck I don’t understand why some guys want to cut off their own runway… Everyone should see it as a benefit that they can stay in junior for as long as possible and then still have 4 years of college to get ready for the NHL instead of grinding in the minors. Should dominate b4 movin
English
@SchlossmanGF @collectsdecks @Pete___Hughes @tcgold3n Those 2 are not comparable to the average CHL player to go to NCAA this year. Most are not 1st rounders, in fact most aren't even drafted.
English
@collectsdecks @Pete___Hughes @RickBreasthead @tcgold3n For the record, Reschny is playing first line center and leads the team in forward minutes. Verhoeff is playing first pair defense. They're both on the top power play unit.
English
😳 You want drama? It’s here.
JP Hurlbert has been selected for Team CHL for the CHL-USA Prospects Challenge
He will take on his former NTDP team from last year. 🔥😎🤯
English
@Rints4Hockey Most are not prepared for that, though. Many of the guys in the CHL have never had to grind their way through a season.
English
@RickBreasthead Cuz those guys want to play at the highest level possible (prior to turning pro, if that is their goal). That is why. D1 NCAA is SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER than ANY Junior league, including any of the (3) CHL leagues.
English
@tcgold3n @collectsdecks @Pete___Hughes @SchlossmanGF Listen to the Pipeline Show season preview where they interviewed Sutter. Mostly just him going off about it.
English
@collectsdecks @RickBreasthead @Pete___Hughes @SchlossmanGF I'll be fully honest I wasn't aware how pissed he was. So I guess it makes sense if he dosent come back to red deer never mind
English
English
@Pete___Hughes @sopasofan @SchlossmanGF Agree with you. That is my opinion but there are some kids who might thrive moving up. I don't know that you want to play 15 mins a night for 38-42 and maybe be scratched a few rather than 25 mins for 68. Games are important parts of learning.
English
@IanGustafson12 @Pete___Hughes @SchlossmanGF I wouldn't let my kid leave. If he doesn't have the ability to work through this, he probably isn't made for pro hockey either. The majority of hockey families don't prepare their kids for these inevitabilities, so many will bail.
English
@RickBreasthead @Pete___Hughes @SchlossmanGF I know it was a decision that he and his family made together.
Was it the right one? You can argue both sides but I’m sure RD would take him back in a heartbeat.
However, he’s still playing every game in ND, just not as many minutes. I don’t think that’s enough for him to leave
English
The look on Zegras' face when Acciari gets up tells you all you need to know about how tough he really is. Sheer terror. Zegras will never live up to his hype, because he's a wimp, and wimps can't make it.
English
@ClankoMedia @jr_on_juniors He should have removed himself as soon as he knew that charges were coming. It was reported Jan 2 and his legal team would have been aware of the process.
English
@RickBreasthead @jr_on_juniors He has been removed his head coach
English
I almost don't want to know the details of the Kesler thing, but there is no way he is associated with Little Caesars anymore, right @ClankoMedia ?
English
@tcgold3n @Pete___Hughes @SchlossmanGF There is no way that Sutter takes him back after the way he left. Good trade chip though.
English
@RickBreasthead @Pete___Hughes @SchlossmanGF Josephson is someone the rebels need lol we are not doing good and could use him back
English
@clintgc There is an argument for that. It depends on your development curve at 18/19/20, all determined after being drafted. I can envision players who have signed their ELC being allowed to play NCAA in the next year as well. Signing bonuses are basically NIL if they don't play games.
English
I had someone I respect tell me that NHL-drafted players in later rounds should stay in Major Juniors and get signed as soon as possible—don't use the NCAA's longer runway. His argument is to get in the organization quickly, be recent, and be relevant.
I personally don't know the answer. All I can say is each player's circumstances are unique.
English
@sopasofan @Pete___Hughes @SchlossmanGF Oh for sure. That doesn't mean everyone is up for that path.
English
@RickBreasthead @Pete___Hughes @SchlossmanGF Re: struggling, I feel that some of the players, mostly 05s, were ready to move on to the next phase of their life and start their degree while still being able to play high level hockey. Their “struggles” may just be the rookie learning curve of a 4-5 career
