The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways. Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar. We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.

They did get two Chatham players, so you are probably correct.

I suppose I could look this up, but isn't the portal essentially tits on a bull for D-3 hockey anyway? Hasn't it been the case for years that there existed no penalty for transferring?

It helps formalize the process. Before, it was always ad hoc, and you didn't necessarily know who was looking to transfer.

The portal will become mandatory starting with the new academic year (August 2026). The transfer windows get published at the start of the academic year by the NCAA. At D1, the open window began the Monday after the respective championship games for the men and women; I imagine DIII will be similar. There is also a 15-day portal entry window for players of programs that change head coaches, starting at the earlier date of either 5 days after the announcement of the new head coach or 30 days after the departing coach leaves. Grad transfers can enter any time.
