Interesting piece on the chaning landscape of college recruiting with CHL and NIL impacts. Some good quotes from Ben Barr, David Carle and Greg Powers.

NCAA hockey evolving as CHL eligibility, transfer portal and NIL reshape recruiting

CHL eligibility, NIL and the transfer portal are reshaping NCAA hockey, expanding the player pool and forcing coaches and programs across the country to adjust recruiting strategies and roster management.

One in particular :
“The floor is much higher now,” Powers said. “There’s so many players, there’s not enough stalls to fill the demand of how many good players are out there because there’s only 64 teams.”

That is only for NCAA Division I - there is nothing stopping those who cannot reach the stalls of Division I to take the alternate pathway of Division III. Especially now when it may not be necessary to receive a scholarship to afford to go to "school" to play a sport.
