More on Matt Creamer

6'2 190lb Feb 1997 DOB originally out of Warwick, RI set for 2017-18 in Hamden. He is done at Selects as they only have U18 and U16 programs so its a likely bet he heads out to the BCHL for 2 years of seasoning. I don't believe he was selected in the USHL draft though its possible he could be selected in Phase II this year.

Played at Selects Hockey Academy U18 and in 28 games game put 15 goals, 21 assists with 32 PIM's. In the playoffs had 3 goals and 4 assists in 4 games played.

Saw only 1 other QU fan last night at the semifinals in a Brandon Wong jersey. Frozen Fours are good times.

In hindsight never really figured out why the Renouf's were signed to a D1, sure both could put up some decent numbers but they are PP specialists and stature wise not going to grow any. While points are one stat I never judge a player from that alone, watching first hand I thought it wouldn't work out and sounds like it has not. I do not think these two players have played with anyone else going all the way back to minor hockey, while it can give an advantage to play alongside the same line mate year in and year out, it certainly isn't developing your game in learning how to play with a multitude of players and styles.

Wish them well on their next challenge, will they be eligible for three (3) years at Anchorage or will they have to Redshirt a year in getting the transfer??

The way I understand it is that they can play immediately as long as QU (Rand) releases them. They might be able to get a redshirt for this past season which would give them 4 more years if they so choose.

Someone in the UAA said they have to sit out as the NCAA abolished the ability to play immediately so they have to indeed sit out.

Most players would wish to finish up their program on time, either advance to a Pro level afterwards or join the workforce. I know some will redshirt and make it a 5 year stint, above that it doesn't make sense to me.

With not playing the first year, and likely missing the second year, I see a two year cycle to finish up their education and perhaps try their luck at Pro then should they have outstanding years. Most colleges would not go for a two year cycle wishing to invest their time and effort on a longer tenure.

Mark is right here. The Renoufs didnt play this year so if Rand releases them (don't know if he has yet, but i'd be shocked if he didn't) they can play next year. They should get a redshirt for this year and have 4 years to play at UAA.

That's how Zach Luczyk was able to play at Sacred Heart this season if I'm not mistaken.

Yes but I believe that rule was abolished this past season from a poster in the UAA thread.

I agree with the part about releasing them to play immediately, but I am not about the 4 years. We have two players that were enrolled at Dartmouth and Minnesota and both lost eligibility, even though the latter only played an exhibition. Both also went to the USHL to 'burn' the year in between. I am pretty sure they either lose this year or will have to sit out and lose next year and either way would have three years left. I am pretty sure this is the case, but I'd welcome facts.

Did some digging and came up with this:

After reading it (and getting a massive headache) it does appear that there is a requirement to sit out one year. Lots of talk about exceptions and such, but I got lost in all the mumbo jumbo.
