I’m definitely not discrediting them , they played well in the last 2 periods but it did feel like UNB kind of fell asleep at the wheel once they got ahead and that helped change the momentum in Moncton’s favour.
Yes, Mike and I will be going down to Moncton. Hopefully we don't have the technical issues we had last year.
The way his second tweet is worded makes me think that multi year pro guys will be allowed . I’m all for it .
All UNB has to do is wait for a bunch of unhappy ECHL guys to declare.
Wonder if you play a full pro season your first year out of junior, will you maintain all five years of eligibility or get docked for that year?
That's a pretty important item to clarify.

I think they can now, no? As long as they have enough eligibility left + sit out a year....basically what Ryan Lindsay did.
I was more wondering if they could come back and pickup where they left off without sitting , wasn’t sure if guys who had already used eligibility would be treated differently but reading the new rule it seems pretty wide open .
The way I read it, you can be 25 years old, have played 3 years pro and can go to a school with 2 years remaining.
This is very important - generally, playing a certain amount of Pro Hockey did impact your package.
Agree - you still lose 1-year of eligibility for each year of Pro, but the clock doesn't start until the August of the year you turn 22. So, no Sydney Crosby, but some of the other kids can play ECHL for an entire season then come to USPORTS (or Europe).
No one knows. Let's wait to see how it unfolds. While it's fun to speculate sometimes, until we actually see some names, it's just speculation.
