2020-21 Season *Officially* Delayed

[abmarks]

Juniors-eligible player Stienburg likely taking advantage of the new NCAA rules:

what's the rule change? it stops the eligibility clock?

"For the 2020-21 academic year, prospective student-athletes who turn 21 years old during the season (i.e., early 2000 birthdates) will not lose a year of Division I eligibility if they play a junior hockey game after their birthday. Typically, those players would have to enroll full-time in a post-secondary institution in order to retain their four years of Division I eligibility."

Also,

"Current student-athletes whose institutions will not be playing hockey during the fall semester will be permitted to participate in non-collegiate, amateur competition i.e. junior hockey on an outside team during the fall 2020 term (subject to school and conference approval). These student-athletes may compete on an outside team while remaining enrolled in their NCAA institution, which typically would not be allowed.

"An institution or conference may not provide expenses for such competition and the student-athlete must be in good academic standing. A student-athlete who remains enrolled at the institution may not miss class to participate in outside competition. All competition should adhere to federal, state, local and other applicable guidelines related to COVID-19."



Those are the changes listed in the article that are relevant.  If I read those right, stienbirg will have to still be enrolled and taking classes, which the online class situation will let him do?

Here's the teams announcement.

Here's the teams announcement.

Money shot:

The West Kelowna Junior 'A' Hockey Club is excited to announce forward Matthew Stienburg('00) will join the Warriors until the Cornell season restarts. The commitment comes with the news that NCAA Ivy League will not be running their hockey programs until after the first semester. Matt is still enrolled in Cornell and will be attending classes online during his short time with the Warriors.

All players now get extra year. I assume the ivy rules will still apply. http://collegehockeyinc.com/articles/2020/08/covid-impact-on-ncaa-rules.php

I see Atlantic Hockey might start as soon as Nov 13 now

I'm surprised.  I always thought they were trying to Mini Me the ECAC.

[French Rage]

I see Atlantic Hockey might start as soon as Nov 13 now

But when do real teams start?

so 10 games over 21 days ?  that seems like a lot?

most of the ecac could play games from mid Dec to mid Jan with few kids around and testing..   but a bubble might work too.. play 3 games someplace over a week and do it couple times..

It tells about the time in which we're living that the only mention of fans was after they said that all NCHC games will be on NCHC.tv.

Other than that, we don't matter.

That begs a question I've been meaning to ask, since I can't figure out any obvious answer.  Why are schools going out of there way to play sports when probably everything except power conference men's hoop and football are going to cost even more to run under covid than before without any care revenues at all to somewhat reduce the costs?

IDK, maybe it's no different than pre-covid?

Looks like Ivy hoops is in jeopardy, which doesn't bode well for other Ivy winter sports.
