Bingo! I think it's bad for college hockey in the long run. I see Michigan has their 33ed recruit signed up this week. maybe if they try they can get the entire USHL to commit. that would ensure their winning something. maybe. Wisconsin is just as bad and you are seeing now kids decommitting from wisconsin. I think the whole thing is just like lucia's move to limit older players. it's another thing to give money schools an advantage. Now every smaller school, even like Duluth will have to spend significant resources to keep kids.
I disagree with the reason. This is a giant push back on coaches having all the power and $ in college sports. They can leave but players are stuck. Players should have more freedom to leave, but I'm not sure how it will play out. It may end up being bad, but that doesn't make it less valuable in improving things for the players.
I don't think Ford was pushed out at Wisconsin; I could be wrong, but I thought he left on his own. I believe he played every game for them as a freshman until he left and went back to the USHL. That was a year they weren't doing very well. I don't know his circumstance at that time but it appears he backed out on his commitment not the other way around. If someone knows otherwise please reply in his defense.
Another thing that's going to have an effect is that MJ is going to have to pay the players soon. The judge in Canada ruled that they are pro's and entitled to get paid. the funds set aside are not enough.
PK?? How bout a goaltender make a stop for a change. I believe if you look at the stats the guys didn't give up many chances again tonight. The chances that they are getting go in. I think the skaters played a heck of a game!
