      Now that we are talking about kids that are actually younger than my 9th-grade hockey player, it is that much more apparent how ludicrous it is to be making a college choice at that age. Some of these kids are just hitting puberty, and they are supposed to decide where they want to spend four of their most formative years, 4 to 5 years away? I know that it many cases these kids are projecting to be two year players, so maybe it doesn't really matter what they study, whether or not the school has a major they care about, etc. But it just makes a joke of the idea of college athletics.

      I for one, am glad that the new rules are going in.

        I think it's a win-win for both prospective student-athletes and the schools. Fewer decommitments will result and it puts further premium on coaches recruiting the right players for their programs than just seeking a verbal "commitment" from kids at such a young age as a means of deterring other coaches from poaching, or CHL teams from convincing them that Major Jr is the way to go.

        I know the criticism isn't levied at a kid line Fine more so than the current process. I hope Fine matures and develops into the player he's projected to be, honors his commitment and ends up being a terrific player at BU. But there's so much that can happen between now and 2023.

            that close should a goalie instinctively extend his stick to take out the 'pass'?

                    I had heard last December at the St Sebastian's holiday tournament that he was reconsidering his BU choice
                    Probably waited to see that he was accepted
                    Good size but probably a bottom 6 forward

                      Gorman's dad played for Princeton in the late 80s, early 90s when the Tigers' assistant coach was, yup, Len Quesnelle. HC Jim Higgins was a BU alum. Hearing Gorman was getting a partial, so this might enable Albie to go after another forward for next season.

                      The HockeyWriters.com jumped Robert Mastrosimone from #54 to #32 on its draft board.

                          For a player who expects to stay for 4 years and earn a degree, this is hard to argue with.

                              Sure, but as a legacy there and someone who'd improve their team quite a bit, I'm sure they found some scholarship money somewhere in their pockets.
                              ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
