      FYI, Wayne State, here in Detroit, has announced via an interview with the president of the university that all classes in the fall will be online and that it is highly unlikely students will be on campus.

        That's discouraging.

          Joe put on his diplomat's hat to discuss the transferring players and their reasons for leaving, confirmed but did not name the graduate transfer goaltender, and dispassionately analyzed the potential one-time free transfer rule. Not much of note.

            Stories like this make me doubt that we will be watching live hockey in the fall.

              That is a blow to the GLIAC.

              Wonder if/when other universities are going to make a similar call.

                  Another rule that favors the big schools.

                  Other than back-up goalies that want to be starters, who is going to move in the other direction?

                    Reference the kid from Huntsville that is going to play at mass lowell n4xt year.

                      Great point! Athletes shouldn't be allowed to transfer, penalty free, after their junior year, unless there is a coaching change or they graduate.

                      I also think you are going to see those big school 3rd and 4th line Soph and Jrs who want to play transferring to schools where there is playing time. There is only so much ice-time to be had.

                      Where it is going to hurt the smaller schools, if a big school roster is weak. There will be playing time to be had. Any easy way to restock a roster with talent is via transfer.

                      Given Joe's management of our roster, I think Tech will be fine. We have a core of players with Tech ties who are very unlikely to transfer. Joe isn't afraid to go get transfers and bring them in. Look at Matt J and Ford last year. They were Wisconsin kids and ended up at Tech. Matt J turned into a solid goalie and Ford was a top 4 defender for Tech. The Packy experience was a mixed bag, but you get that out of any recruit. (I have a feeling Joe and staff learned a lot.)

                        Here is a video of "Pucky" back in the US this past season and stirring the pot once again. The more I see him, the more I think "head case." As he is skating back to the bench on a delayed penalty he checks a player from the opposing team and starts a brawl in the ECHL. Fast forward to 3:47 if necessary (it should start at this point).

                          Eventually, schools like Tech will need to protect scholarships. Have contracts with a non-compete clause, like business recruiting. It’s becoming a business, treat it like one.

                            Really has been a business just not been treated like one.

                              I'm seriously dismayed by this and I think it bodes badly for future teams but having said that, if you are a 3ed line player on a big school team that has tons of guys sitting on the sidelines, do you worry every year who might transfer in and take your slot for next year?

                                It is all about ice time. There is only so much of it to go around. Unless a player is at the university for a degree, players will move to get ice time.

                                I'm not too worried about it. Hockey deals with guys going pro. A guy transferring isn't all that different.
