CHL to NCAA Recruiting Megathread

this sort of situation was exactly what the inevitable lawsuit was about, because that sort of pedantic nonsense was not about to hold up in court. i do like seeing the USports transfers getting these chances, Serratorre just took it to a wild new level for fun and it worked.

we’ve even seen a transfer who never officially played CHL hockey but had such a standout season in USports hes going to NCAA. i’m guessing he had a similar situation with going to some CHL camp or preseason but never made the team. Luca Fasciano had a breakout rookie season and is joining BGSU. he’s the kind of guy that never would’ve been considered beforehand.

Isn't Fasciano going to Tech?

WHL has a multi-year deal w/ victory plus, not totally sure if it'll be entirely free like the playoffs were but it could be.

So Flohockey has been subscribed to at $150 for a year, or $12.50 per month. It seems like a lot of hockey for less than $0.50 per day!

I imagine I will mostly be watching OHL, QMJHL, and USHL. But it appears as though BCHL and the entire CJHL is also on Flohockey. It seems the NAHL is the only juniorA league that places D1 players regularly that is not on Flohockey. And hopefully I can see WHL on Victory+ for free. That would be pretty awesome.

Of course our incredibly well-run league led by our incredible commissioner now decides to move CCHA games from FloHockey to some streaming platform that no one has ever heard of outside of eastern North Dakota with no other content of interest whatsoever yet charge us nearly the same price we were paying for Flo. Sigh.
 
Speaking of podcasts, All 60 returns with an interview with Dan MacKenzie, the CHL president. Of course, casually rebranded as All 61... Not wholly though, because all indications are next year it will need to change to All 62.

I don't know if I've mentioned this podcast in detail or explained who this guy is, but it is hosted by Steve McLean, a Guelph Storm fan who last year joined the All-60 Club (he thinks there's 4 of them), having seen a game at every CHL arena. He has a few regular correspondents in each league, such as Cape Breton pxp Patrick McNeil, and they usually release weekly episodes.

MacKenzie goes over plenty in the interview, expansion, mem cup, state of media, the NCAA change etc. On the last one, some of his takes are definitely based on his own bias, but it would be weird it wasn't IMO. Just take it with a grain of salt. He's very professional with it all, worth a listen

What I am feeling is that the settlement has basically "hamstrung" the lawyers for the NCAA, they don't know what, if any, legal standing they have. I think they basically said if they are eligible to be playing college hockey in Canada, they are eligible in the States as well. I think U-Sports does have some "pro guidelines" you have to meet, but I am not sure what they are. I am sure our friends "north of the border" can fill me in.

You still have to have college eligibility left (I believe in BSU's case, one has two years and one has three) as their time playing U-Sports in Canada counts against them. I think you also have to still be within the age "window" for D-I athletics, which for hockey can run up to 25 or 26 depending on red shirts.

While I am glad my program is benefiting from taking the chance and seeing what sticks, I am not sure if I agree with it. This whole NCAA Settlement has a lot that needs to be worked out, yet.
