OT: Around Hockey and the NHL

The best reasoning I can come up with for why they'd lower the age to 19 is to allow for a gap year, so a guy could try pro hockey before deciding if they want to go to the NCAA or not.

That kind of year basically exists for aged out CHLers to play minor league hockey before deciding to take their USports package or not.
