D3 Preseason Captain's Practice

Re: D3 Preseason Captain's Practice

Just an observation.......Today's Burlington Free Press, (internet edition), has a picture of the D-1 UVM hockey team captioned "Captains Practice". I noticed that the players were all in practice uniforms.

It's likely D1 schools have already begun practicing as a team in a manner approved by the NCAA. Just a hunch as most D1 teams start playing games within the next two weeks, while D3 games don't begin for another month (or longer for some eastern teams)...

edit: Yeah, VT travels to play DU in 9 days. I'd be shocked if they aren't practicing with coaches already.

When are the teams, D1 and D3, allowed to start practicing under coaches supervision according to NCAA rules? I noticed some D3 teams have pre-season games scheduled for the middle of October but have not heard that they have started official practices.

For D-III, the NCAA went to a flat start date this season and that's October 15th I believe.

In previous years you could start as early as October 1st. Then they made the 19 weeks rule of official practicing and now were are to the flat start date.
