2013-2014 D1 Commitments

Won't argue whether they are or aren't professional (that's what they call themselves, who am I to argue), but the NCAA has in the past had some interesting interpretations of what constitutes compensation other than direct payments. You're familiar with the Shamrocks/JWHL (obviously since you're always the first to post their commitments!). Does what the CWHL provide players differ or go beyond what the JWHL teams provide (seeing as how they are clearly legal in the NCAA's eyes) - equipment, travel expenses, endorsements/publicity, etc.?

Literally dozens of players in D1 have played games in the CWHL or its predecessor the NWHL.
 
Re: 2013-2014 D1 Commitments

So Cornell is graduating two very good defensemen, and I'm aware of one D that has committed to Cornell from Alberta that has not yet been listed here. I would think Cornell would like to be bringing in two defensemen for next season. Just curious if anyone has heard if that is the case and who it may be. Feel free to rep or email me any info. I will keep it quiet if its not public knowledge yet.

On a side note, I believe Lloyd has arleady committed to another school for next year. Not sure if Sutherland has recommitted anywhere yet.

Are some players compensated in ways? I'm curious about what might be the difference between players mentioned and say Iya Gavrilova? If I recall she was declared ineligible because teammates on a team she played on prior to her arriving at UMD received some form of compensation while she herself did not.

Some examples are Poulin, Rougeau, Irwin, Jenner, Deluce and Wakefield. Pretty sure those players abided by the rules as individuals, making sure they were not being compensated to ensure they did no violate NCAA rules. You would think that Players of that caliber are being well advised by various scouts etc early on before signing up for these teams. Often these teams are run by coaches familiar with the ins and outs of college hockey rules.

I just remember reading an article that she played some games in the QMJHL (boys major junior) which makes them ineligible for NCAA.

I don't know the particulars of how all the CW teams operate, but from what I have heard from players on the Blades they don't get what players in the JW are getting.( daily practice ice, off-ice training, tutoring, housing, etc. etc) Of course, they (Blades/CW) aren't paying a tuition to play either.

There is zero chance any female will play anything other than a novelty/ceremonial game in the Q.
 
The goalie Desbiens did part of a major junior camp but stopped before playing an exhibition game, it was even specifically mentionned in a story that she wanted to do ncaa . If you go the the lhjmq site you can see she wasn't listed on the exhibition roster either. At least thats what i found through googling .

I think you are the one being confused...Montreal Stars and Boston Blades both play in the CWHL.

No, the original post was about the qmjhl, not cwhl. Desbien has always played men's hockey, so it would make sense for that question to be asked.

Really? Would you like to take that up with Charline Labonté?

Hux, your facts are correct about LaBonte and for that I am properly corrected. Has there ever been a female non-goalie to play a regular shift for at least a full season (or two) in the Q, WHL, OHL etc? I am not aware of any. (This is now a sub-thread and should be moved I think.)

Ummm..... if she can get into Princeton where the bar is much higher for women's hockey admits, this was clearly a coach decision to drop her in the process at Harvard. Yikes....
