Owain Johnston (StFx/Erie) - Holy Cross

Is he the first USports player to commit to NCAA since the rule change?

I believe so, although he has never actually played a game of USports hockey….
Anyone know if he is hurt ? If not I assume he was sitting out pending the rule change to see if he got an American offer.

SFX has 7 other D-men, who have all played.

Question?
Are you guys suggesting that if a first year Usports’s hockey athlete plays a league game in USports he is not eligible to take advantage of this CHL/NCAA agreement?…..

No but they would be using a year of eligibility

AUS Fan will be creating a new list in April 2025 showing the movement
USPORTS to NCAA, IMO

As I've mentioned in other threads, Dennis Williams is going to clean up on overlooked Dub guys

Nice, but what has BG ever won since 1984?

I don't see your point exactly. While you are right, I don't think it applies to my point, in that Dennis Williams coached in the Dub for a long time, knows the player pool better than anyone in the NCAA, and will get a lot of good commits. Will probably turn Bowling Green around from CCHA doormat back to respectability.

Well he's come out swinging with 7 CHL players! Obviously, his background in the CHL is a huge benifit. Sloan, Steinman and Crampton head the CHL'ers for potential impact for Bowling Green.

On the subject of X-Men defense, I wonder if X is concerned about losing American born D-Simon Motew next year. I like his game.

Possibility...

19 year old CCHL transfer to R-N, so not a "full time" CHL. Also not going until 2026.

When I look at CHL commits, I'm looking at OA's with 4 years in the league.

My standards are low, but I do have some.

Aiden Oiring (2005, WHL, Prince Albert Raiders) commits to Nebraska Omaha!

Apparently Brett Hyland UofA is going NCAA next year.

Is there a source for this?

Meant to post that, Tyler Yaremchuk on Morning Cuppa Hockey.

That move makes a lot of sense for a guy like him IMO. Recent draft pick who probably still has hopes to play a high level of professional hockey. He has 26 points in 16 games this year so maybe a little “too good” for U Sports…this will allow him to play at a higher level without the ECHL lifestyle (or constant back and forth between the ECHL and AHL).

Basically what I expect most of the higher end overagers to do in the summer…choose the NCAA over ECHL. Hyland is just squeezing a year of U Sports in there.

I would put Reynolds in a similar category. 30 points in 21 games.
