On the more highly ranked D3 team rosters I see numerous examples of players dropping down from D1, with the AHA being by far the biggest source among the eastern schools. I'm most familiar with ECAC rosters and I can't remember the last time I saw a transfer from a D3 school that actually played (I vaguely recall a practice goalie a number of years back but can't remember the details). I'd be shocked if there were actual examples of such players transferring from D3 to "bigger D1 schools" (which I would interpret to be traditional powers). Undergrad transfers in college hockey generally go down the totem pole (big boys to lower D1, particularly the AHA, and lower D1 to D3) in pursuit of playing time. Most of the exceptions recently are grad transfers going up the stack, but even then I don't remember any from D3 to D1.

        Like people said, it is rare but there are examples, but like I said, you have to be THAT good. I see it happening more in basketball, where DI teams are picking up JuCo players all the time to fill some spots.

                  Dan Rubin has the first of a three-part series on LIU on USCHO today. In the series, he talks with three coaches who have started programs, Robert Morris' Derek Schooley, Penn State's Guy Gadowsky, and Arizona State's Greg Powers. It's interesting to compare what they faced and how they planned with what's going on at LIU.

                      • The last thing you want to see is a program fold. But you have to imagine LIU is going to try to grab some of the UAH players. Bunch of Ontario boys on the roster. Not that there's THAT much top end talent there, but they're DI players.

                              Well, I suppose ASU has 4 new open dates, as I thought there was a tentative UAH series and Holy Cross cancelled out on their comittment to travel to Tempe as repay for ASU traveling to their rink the last few years.

                                College Hockey News is reporting LIU has hired Brett Riley, an assistant coach at Colgate, as the head coach.

                                “Prior to Colgate, Riley, a 2014 graduate of Hobart, spent three seasons as head coach at D-III Wilkes (Pa.), where he started the program from scratch. Obviously, he will be in the same situation with LIU.”
