    Seems inevitable that CHL players will be allowed in the NCAA... I am also surprised that no one has filed a lawsuit challenging the NHL/CHL transfer agreement yet..

      The World Association of IceHockey players Unions North America antitrust case in New York includes the challenge to that agreement and is the basis for including the NHL as a defendant. It's the weakest of the claims.
      The Souza record:
      15-16 10th place
      16-17 10th place
      17-18 11th place
      18-19 8th place
      19-20 9th place
      20-21 10th place
      21-22 9th place
      22-23 10th place

        Here is Sportico's take on the lawsuit LINK. My favorite quotes from the article:

        The NCAA will answer the complaint and seek its dismissal. Expect it to argue the rule advances amateurism goals related to distinguishing college athletes, who are also students, from pro athletes. But that line of reasoning hasn’t worked in recent NCAA cases and appears especially vulnerable to rebuke in this situation.
        Calla also believes removing the boycott would mean D-I hockey could feature better players.
        Fans and consumers also experience a form of harm since D-I hockey would be improved if CHL players could participate in it.
