D1 Transfers

Re: D1 Transfers

D1 Transfers
Player---------------------From--------------------To

Kyleigh Palmer - D...........Mercyhurst........................University of Manitoba CIS
She also transfered in 2009 from Vermont
 
Re: D1 Transfers

How many years of eligibility does a player have after enrolling as a freshman? Suppose a player went to school, played no games, withdrew for medical reasons, and at a later date recovered and was able to play again. Is it a "clock running" from the initial enrollment? Kind of a dream scenario at this point but the pendulum towards recovery is swinging, slowly, in the right direction.
 
Re: D1 Transfers

at D1 she'd have 5 years from her first full time enrollment whether she was playing or not and at D3 she'd have 10 semesters in which she was actually enrolled

Ralph... I hope it works out. Cheers

Recall reading somewhere there might be a new NCAA rule that in effect means you have five years after graduating from HS rather than five years after enrolling in D1. In other words the clock starts ticking on graduation of HS rather than enrollment into D1. This might be related to a new NCAA rule which states that when you enroll more than one year after graduating from HS, you start losing years of eligibility. Does anyone have more details on this ?. Does this apply to both D1 and D3 ?.

Thanks. This past winter is the first that I didn't visit a hockey rink in probably 15 years. I got good at making my version of rink coffee and I've been able to make excellent cardboard pizza since my college days, but I really hope my Hockey Dad days aren't really over. Longshot but you gotta hope anyway.

Certainly makes sense to me. Been whining about this for a while now, and it's about time. Too many teams taking advantage of the experienced freshman. :rolleyes:

given the devastating effect this would have on men's college hockey that basically depends on guys 2 and 3 years out of high school i have a hard time believing it to be true

I also doubt this to be true for the reason you state, but I certainly wouldn't mind if it were implemented. IMO there are too many 23-25 year-olds playing the mens game which makes it very hard for the "normal" 18-19 year old bodies to effectively compete.

I found this. http://www.ncaa.org/wps/portal/ncaa...+and+Recruiting/Faqs/eligibility_seasons.html. I think its current but not sure. It seems that the 5 year rule starts when you first enroll as a full time student. Also, interesting is the age 21 rule for D1.

"In Division I only, if a student-athlete has participated as an individual or as a team representative in organized sports competition, that kind of participation during each 12-month period after his/her 21st birthday and prior to initial full-time collegiate enrollment will count as one year of varsity competition in that sport. Any participation in organized competition during time spent in the U.S. armed services will be excepted.

You may wish to consult with the student-athlete's current college's athletics director to determine exactly how many seasons of varsity competition he/she may have used. Please contact the NCAA membership services staff at 317/917-6222 should you have further questions."

i tend to agree with you, but i think it would destroy the college game. either you'd lose many teams that would no longer be able to field competitive teams, or D1 hockey would basically regress to a point where D3 hockey is now, with D3 taking a comparative step backwards as well. recruiting north of the border would basically end and the kids that were any good up there would be going to major junior as they'd no longer see the college game as a viable step towards professional hockey.

the other thing i think would be a huge problem is recruiting. as it is we have a lot of 19, 20, and 21 year old guys coming into college hockey every year....yet we still have guys who are 14 and 15 making commitments to schools 4 and 5 years before they show up. if all the sudden you had to take guys that were 18 and 19 exclusively, would the recruiting back up as well as everyone kept trying to get a jump on the supremely talented kids?

It currently applies in women's hockey. Also, expect to see an NCAA wide D1 transfer sit rule go into effect soon.
