One thing we are going to have to try and remember as CIS fans is that we can’t fault the player and that this is likely what’s best for hockey as a whole .
That has always been my philosophy. If a player can better themselves, then I'm all for it. Sad to see them go, but glad for them.

That’s what I questioned when I heard his name. I would assume if he was only on a ATO. He wouldn’t have been paid anything .
I agree. Probably an ATO.

Perhaps a bit extreme from me, but get ready for Jack Drover AUS hockey.

I would say get ready for OUA West hockey.
Everyone seems to think that the AUS and CW will be the ones feeling this the most but I have to imagine the guys going to mid range OUA teams are now going to end up on decent teams likely in other conferences.
That conference might be looking at that version of university hockey more than anyone. Maybe I’m wrong but I imagine all of the MHL guys I’ve seen head to Ontario are AUS guys going forward .
I can’t remember exactly what his ideal version of the AUS was (before my time) but I did stumble upon an article going through Telegraph Journal archives for something unrelated with him talking about his view on it so I have a rough idea .
The good teams will get guys who still would have been CIS hockey players at other schools/conferences … Its those mushy middle teams in the OUA etc that are going to all of a sudden have players who wouldn’t have been playing CIS pre 2025 , so I almost wonder if the quality goes down their more than anywhere . I have nothing to back this up beyond my shower thoughts and we probably won’t know until 5 years from now when a full player cycle happens .
I’m so torn because I love what the CIS is now but I’m also a hockey nerd so I’m pretty keen to watch this play out lol , hell I watch Jr.B and Midget AAA for fun , it’s not like the hockey will suddenly be below me .
