Incoming Recruits

Does the school need to get the league to "clear" a student to play, or could we literally just have some student lace them up (with whatever consequences later on if he was deemed ineligible)?  Would the ref allow a team to skate a player not listed on the roster?  i.e., does "roster" have consequential meaning within the rules of the league?

I would have to imagine a student would have to be on the official NCAA roster to be eligible for a game. Think of the legal implications of a random student was hurt or killed on the ice during an NCAA game. That said, I think it's up to the school to ensure a player meets the NCAA's requirements for eligibility. That's why you sometimes hear much later on of NCAA sanctions for an ineligible player. I assume if the NCAA cleared a player as eligible they couldn't later turn around and impose sanctions (unless someone provided false info?)

Maine on line one.  They say they'll hold.

Several years ago, someone commented here that he did not feel it was right for a junior aged player to be traded from one team to another.

Yesterday two future RPI players in the USHL were involved in trades. One of the other players involved in one of those trades, Jaden Shields, will be playing for his fourth USHL team this season (Chicago, Omaha, Sioux Falls, and now Lincoln). The USHL does require a player 18 or under to approve of a trade, but this just seems wrong to me.

Wrong yes, but it's just a business and like most now a days, the employees don't matter as much as the bottom line.

Sad, but true....

True, but I wonder how many junior teams actually make money.

BTW, I edited my previous post because I left out the important word "not" in the first sentence. ::doh::

I avoid Shirley Jackson as much as possible. :-)

Ben Berard, who just returned after missing 4 months due to an injury, scored for Powell River in their playoff game last night. Berard has a great shot and should step right into the lineup next year as a productive forward.

Apparently Berard suffered a potential career-ending back injury in December.  Glad he's back on the ice, and hopefully the injury won't recur.

Yeah, I read it as October but for some reason typed December. He missed virtually the entire regular season.

Any of them also play box lacrosse? Faceoff experience?

Posting here for lack of a better place since these clubs are a route to the college level.  The Chicago Tribune reports on two lawsuits in Illinois alleging that Amateur Hockey Association of Illinois (AHAI), the local affiliate of USA Hockey, is refusing to grant membership to new Tier 1 and Tier 2 clubs so that they can artificially keep keep charges to players higher than necessary.  Each of the current clubs in with AHAI is said to have at least one employee being paid over $100,000.
