I think it was Roy '82.

another potential ncaa change (this one applying to all sports, not just hockey): banning early scholarship offers.

while obviously not impacting the ivy league directly, it seems like this would tilt the ice in favor of major junior hockey.

This strikes me as a good change. It's pretty ridiculous to offer a kid a scholarship who hasn't even finished tenth grade. Kind of makes a mockery of the idea of "student-athletes" (or at least adds to the mockery that the rest of big time college athletics is).

At least they will experiment with it during exhibition games so that they will get to know just how brilliant I am.

As a reminder to anyone going to the exhibition games this weekend, the power play icing rule is in effect. That, and apparently a goal scored on a delayed penalty does not negate the penalty. Forgot that one was approved...

If I'm not wrong, the obtainable pass rule is also gone; now receiving players have to touch the puck.
