The NCAA sent this to institutions today on age-based implementation. If you graduate HS this year, your eligibility clock starts this fall. There’s a small runway for 2026 freshmen (in hockey mostly 05s and 06s) to enroll this year and play under the old rules.

Actually, many of these 06s might have TWO years. Most 06s graduated in 2024. 2024-25 2025-26 2026-27 2027-28 2028-29 Those are their 5 years but if they do another year of junior they’d only have the last 2 years. And potentially no route to enroll now.


This is also what the NCAA sent out less than a week ago. Last Friday. Now what they have sent out today says that any player who does not enroll this season will be subject to the new rule. That completely contradicts what they sent out a week ago.


If you’re an 06 planning to play another year in the CHL or USHL, you just found out that you might only have 3yrs of eligibility when you arrive. In many cases you can’t arrive this fall even if you wanted to because your team might be up against the NCAA-imposed roster cap.

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.
