USports might just see them a year later, if they don't manage to play well enough to keep their Div I scholarship. Coaches can be cynical with their scholies.

Possible for sure. Will they even have a full ride or will they eat a year of CHL money? Once again, a lot of moving parts.

Edit: Just noticed that NCAA scholarships will increase from 18 to 26 in 2025-26.

Also

Full-ride scholarship offer: Men’s full-ride ice hockey scholarships are reserved for recruits that competed in the USHL junior hockey league. Though, this does not mean that recruits who didn’t play for a tier 1 junior hockey league won’t receive a full ride. Division 1 hockey programs also recruit athletes from tier 2 junior hockey leagues.

If these guys are committing now, they're getting full rides.

You need to keep up.

Is worth noting , it’s early and they could end up cleaning house on overages for all I know but these guys have all been the cream of the crop guys (UNB/Alberta , AHL/Europe) who we’d be discussing as potential CIS players if they don’t get good pro offers.
I stand by what I’ve said , I think the people who think CIS is going to become a Jr.B retirement league are insane and the people who think that it will have zero impact aren’t much brighter . I could be wrong but I think we are going to see the top 5% of players skimmed off the top going forward.

I said something like that a week or 2 ago, without the insane bit. The top guys who would have gone to UNB or UofA, will now try NCAA and the next tier will be the top guys.

I think the overall result may be a slightly less competitive game, because of the top players leaving, but certainly not Beer League hockey.
