@QHockeyBlog @NDBrian76 It’s the nature of non-binding “commitments” where either side can walk away. As Yogi Berra famously said “it ain’t over till it’s over”. CHI commitment page will shock many as CHL is now # 1 pipeline with ~50% and yes many “commits” will get breakup letters.

To add on to this I expect to see more current commits see the writing on the wall going forward. Quinnipiac will continue to always to look to improve the roster year after year even at the expense of guys currently committed. It’s the nature of the current college landscape.

Joey Macrina had previously been committed to Quinnipiac, but he has been an NCAA free agent for the past few months. He scored some of the most clutch goals for the Stampede during their Clark Cup run. I imagine he’ll be scooped up very soon 👀

@_brendanlocke What few ppl get is NCAA is in an existential fight for its existence and uniform 5 for 5 is the hill they will die on to avoid never ending litigation. No 🏒 specific carve out will happen. 🏒 is not unique. Everyone will adjust.

@23MAlyssa @roscoe2021 @walsha Quite a few including many HHOFs. 🏒 community is still missing the larger NCAA point of why 5 for 5 is existential and needs to be uniform across all sports - the NCAA will not make a 🏒 only exception. You have to breakaway to keep status quo and that has major consequences.

@Roger_Chiasson @roscoe2021 @walsha How many top NHL draft picks were playing D1 hockey in the 80s? If the NCAA wants to attract top players when one of the biggest development benefits is playing against older players, it will have make an exception

@JrHockeyTruth @Bryan_Long @roscoe2021 @walsha Not sure who “nailed it! The forcing function I described with 18/19 yo Fr was the reality for virtually all sports but hockey until chaos in 🏈 🏀 the last few years. NCAA has to lock age model down tight or they cease to exist. No sport exceptions. Hockey will adjust.

@ArtKatona @overspeedhockey @NCAAIceHockey @NCAA @CharlieBakerMA The NCAA brass cares deeply about maintaining power and jobs/salaries. If they can’t get their house in order the NCAA disappears so they are trying to impose new rules that provide long term stability. It’s that simple. It’s like a co on verge of bankruptcy aka 5 alarm fire.

Not just @NCAAIceHockey it’s @NCAA athletics @CharlieBakerMA tells coaches 1 year to prepare to govern their own sports, then to take care of a big problem in 1.5 other sports (Football & Hoops), he goes 180 taking all control away…all to cater to those 2 sports that THEY broke!
Marsha Lycan@mlycan12

One year ago, the NCAA blindsided college athletics with unprecedented roster limits. Thousands of student-athletes lost opportunities as coaches were put in the terrible position of cutting and/or de-committing players. Then AFTER the damage was done, the NCAA introduced the “Designated Student Athlete” designation as a way to let some athletes stay without counting against roster limits. But many programs had already made painful decisions because coaches were told the limits were coming and tried to give athletes as much notice as possible. Now we are about to do this AGAIN. The NCAA is expected to approve a 5th year of eligibility next month — after most programs have already recruited their 2027 classes based on the CURRENT rules and CURRENT roster limits. In women’s soccer, we already operate under a restrictive 28-player cap. You cannot recruit for FOUR classes for years, then suddenly force programs to fit FIVE classes onto the same roster without student-athletes paying the price. Because when seniors stay, someone else loses a spot. More cuts. More decommitments. More athletes caught in the middle of ever-changing rules they had nothing to do with. College recruiting happens YEARS in advance. Families and athletes make life-changing decisions based on the rules in place at the time. If 5th years are approved, they should all be classified as DSAs so as to not count against roster limits. Otherwise the NCAA is about to repeat the exact same disaster all over again. #StopChangingTheRules #HereWeGoAgain #DSAThe5thYears

@ArtKatona @overspeedhockey @NCAAIceHockey @NCAA @CharlieBakerMA Also the NCAA itself is facing an existential crisis for survival. Head in the sand for 10+ years and legal losses created this chaos and 5 for 5 across all sports needed to stem ongoing legal bleeding (yes short term chaos) and have iron clad eligibility rules.

@NathanPStrauss @familyinvestX I guess to his defense sites like CHN probably give beginning of season ages but agree he should absolutely know this birth year age subtlety.

@NathanPStrauss @familyinvestX Beginning of the season age counter or end. There were a hell of a lot of 21 yo 2001 born freshmen in 22-23 season —> 24 yo seniors in 25-26 with a decent chunk turning 25 before end of season.

i think normal parents want their kids to have the most successful, enriching path they can, which for many is playing a full course of juniors before a full 4 years of college
Wall Street Sports@familyinvestX

@Rover2115 @CroninMt @NathanPStrauss Sorry. Normal parents dont want their kid being a 21 year old freshmen. And what your entire argument neglects is that if the rule is changed the entire timeline changes back in regards to scholarships. No other college sport works like this outside men's skiing. Agree on CHL

@Bryan_Long @roscoe2021 @walsha Holding virtually every D1/3 and ACHA player hostage in for 2-3 years because it makes sense for coaches and jr operaters is insanity. College 🏒 has always had decent/elite NHLers and new 5 for 5 and CHL rules make it more viable. Forcing function is desperately needed imho.

@roscoe2021 @Roger_Chiasson @walsha The 21 year old freshman aren't typically the future NHLers, but they're why the future NHLers are now choosing to come. It's a bigger, older league, which prepares them to slide into the NHL at 18/19. That's the point.

@roscoe2021 @walsha Bingo. I played in the late 80s with virtually 100% 18/19 yo freshmen in D1. Then LSSU, Maine started the jr age out 20/21 trend which morphed across all D1, D3 and now AHCA so now the entire 🏒 world is on a 2-3 year post HS delay. New rule realigns 🏒 with all other sports.

Roscoe@roscoe2021·
@walsha It should. Hockey is no different than any other sports - we don’t need 21 year old freshmen. Some of your development should be in college. The people who say it works are the junior programs who profit from the system and coaches who so their jobs are easier.

@wishboneoption @ryanpmulvaney Codifying new/clear eligibility rules across all sports is existential to NCAA’s survival. They are more than prepared to deal with short term “unfairness” issues. Inaction = end of NCAA.

@ryanpmulvaney After Kavanaugh’s concurrence in Allston, any rule the NCAA tries to enforce will be a violation of antitrust law. (don’t kill the messenger).

I think we all anticipate litigation on this issue once voted on though, let’s be honest here, the NCAA’s delay in today’s vote is indeed with strategic purpose. I’ve heard from several college athletes whose eligibility expired in 2026 - they AND COACHES are inquiring about the legitimacy of the rule assuming it passes. Coaches have stressed to me that they think it’s fundamentally unfair that those college athletes - the 2026ers - and into those college athletes are negatively impacted by this anticipated vote while others have already benefited and future college athletes will also benefit from 5/5 eligibility.

@FOS Rubbish. FYI, I played D1 in late 80s and all freshmen were 18/19 but Maine, LSSU etc began recruiting 20/21 yo’s and all D1 schools copied making it a “unique” path and it eventually spilled over to DIII. The new rules just revert 🏒 back to be the same as all other sports.

As the NCAA inches closer to approving its new “5-in-5” rule, hockey doesn't want to be "collateral damage." Hockey’s unique development pipeline means some players' eligibility windows could shrink to two or three years. The sport is pushing back. frontofficesports.com/college-hockey…

Recap of today's discussion of the NCAA's likely 5 in 5 rule, w/ a focus on how the new limits would be phased in. No sign of any consideration of hockey's unique development model. Final action likely in June. This is a D1 rule but some form of it is likely to be adopted by D3:

@SideAces @NYPost_Brazille Bingo. Resetting the eligibility rules is existential to the survival of the NCAA. March Madness $ is their financial lifeline and 🏀 is in chaos so new rules needed and unified across all sports. They are fully aware there will be short term issues. Inaction = end of NCAA.

@NYPost_Brazille Zach, u seem all high and mighty with your predictions but what happens when there is no more NCAA? Keep poking the bear and u will see that this will be a league of maybe 30 teams moving forward. How much fun will that be?

@portalpredictor @heitner NCAA doesn’t exist without 🏀 March Madness $ and that sport is in chaos and eligibility rules need to be cleaned up and unified across all sports to prevent ongoing legal action. NCAA ceases to exist if they can’t pull this off. They know there will be short term legs issues.

@portalpredictor @heitner If you thought your tge very survival of NCAA was at risk long-term if you didn’t take this stance would you deal with associated short term fallout? That’s the calculus. This is existential to long term survival from their viewpoint.
