Re: Providence College Summer 2011: The Hockey Guy Adventures
I think you misunderstood Chris....the 1 1/2 was if he went elsewhere, PC because he is eligible right away gives him more time. The full 2 years.
my understanding is Alix is eligible right away. He never went to another 4 year school. Again my understanding is He recently graduated from an Iowa Community college so he is on track as a junior.
Not sure he is aged out of juniors by the way. His movement mirrors Lavin's....Came in to college as a true freshman. Lavin left PC after 1 st semester sophomore year, went to Omaha 2nd semester, then continued to play at Omaha while he waited to finish his sit out period. Other the other hand I thought Demoupolous is aged out and he is about a month younger than Alex.
That said it really does mean we have too many dmen (9) and someone is going to be upset with playing time. My thought is you go back to the original plan and give Kaib another year of USHL experiemce because he could easily be the odd man out and you want him to get experience. Also that frees up a year of scholarship money
On a side note don't be surprised if a forward or 2 departs because of issues. My understanding is that like Cooley and the bball program Leaman is a no nonsense type of guy and several issues developed in the time there was no coach. I'm guesing one will survive but with a bullseyes on his back, but the other from what I understand mirrors the Goepfert situation and how it can end anyway but the same way Bobby's time ended here would be inconsistent especially with a new sheriff in town laying down the law.
