RPI 2026 Off-Season: Please Pardon Our Appearance As We Upgrade This Area

This has reached the point of absurdity. He's 23 with two years of pro experience. I wonder if there are any eligibility restrictions at all. He played in the OHL past his 21st birthday so, unless he was enrolled in college, that would cost him one year under the old rules. He then played two years in the ECHL (with a side trip for a few games in the AHL). Of course, in the past that would have made him ineligible, but I would think they should at least treat each the same as an overage junior year, thus costing him two more. That would leave him with one year but I'll bet he gets at least two and threatens to sue for more.
It seems crazy. The other side of the coin is this could eventually lead to a situation that if you don`t have a few pros on your team I wonder if you can compete?
