The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
I feel like you haven't read anything I said about the loophole that overagers use. That's what he did. Simpson did not because he wasn't prepared to ever play NCAA hockey until Providence added him for the spring
Note this only matters if they turn 21 during the season while in junior hockey. If they have a later birthday than say April or whenever their season ended, they don't need to worry about it...
See my reply above. The players that commit during junior hockey are able to prepare for this by enrolling in a local or community college and then use that loophole. The ones who didn't prepare and ended up in pro hockey or USports aren't able to use the loophole
He turned 21 during the season and then played games after turning 21. Usually teams get around this with overagers by having them enrolled in a local college so it's technically a "transfer" in, which preserves that year of eligibility. However, a CHL guy would not have prepared to do that...
You lose a year for every year of hockey you play after turning 21. He lost 1 year in Spring 2024 in the OHL, then all of last year, then this year was year 3.
