I just think if they were interested in an English post secondary education they would have already done so.

UNB has had a lot of success recruiting players from Quebec the last decade…hope that pipeline continues.
Someone with some connections on campus should get them to start offering some courses in Russian or something lol.

Haven't heard anything about Darvs, but Dallaire was signed as a 3rd string, Laganière is graduating this year.
I’m almost more curious how many guys leave each year after this season…
Say a guy gets 35 points in the CIS as a rookie , is he just off to the states? We won’t know until the time comes , just a thought .

Colby Jaquet ... came across this profile today ... odd to leave USask after two seasons to go NCAA Div III.

It makes me wonder to what extent we might see transfers to/from NCAA Div III?

This is a very troubling development. If NCAA div III turns out to be the second choice for CHL players, then the quality of play in USport hockey will plummetColby Jaquet ... came across this profile today ... odd to leave USask after two seasons to go NCAA Div III.

Rule change only effects D1 I believe.

NCAA makes CHL players eligible for Division I
The NCAA Division I council voted to make Canadian Hockey League players eligible in 2025, which could reshape the landscape of college and major junior hockey.

He didn't play in playoffs or U-Cup. Only had 12 and 14 games in 2 seasons. Maybe go south and be a big fish in a small pond?Colby Jaquet ... came across this profile today ... odd to leave USask after two seasons to go NCAA Div III.

Most likely , if I think back at kids from the MHL who have gone Div.3 they generally aren’t as good as the kids who go CIS… It’s just not as good of hockey so he likely just wanted more ice time .

Go compare the quality of player going D3 vs CIS … If I think of the best guys to play in Fredericton they all went CIS out of Junior besides Cam Thomson who went to the Netherlands and goalie Jack Grant went D.3
One thing I enjoy about that league is guys want to play CIS , they aren’t dreaming of the NHL, it’s viewed as a success story and not a failed pro dream.

There's no question that USports is, on average, miles above NCAA Div III. I don't foresee an exodus to DIII ... tuition is much more expensive than in Canada.
That said, many kids who are playing for the love of the game will enjoy that experience playing somewhere where the games mean something. Many DIII programs get good crowds as they are the main/only show in town. I recently spoke with a 19 year old Jr A player who would choose to not play USports if he stayed in Canada, but would go to a DIII school to play if it was at a school that had good crowds (e.g., Norwich, Oswego).
We’ve all heard rumours at this point but I’m curious when the names start rolling in?

I certainly hope the players make their intentions known to their respective teams as soon as possible. Recruiting season is already underway
Per Bob Stauffer on Oilers now - Brett Hyland , Sean Tschigerl , Marc Lajoie , and Aidan de la Gorgendier heading to Nebraska Omaha.
de la Gorgendier played 10 games in the ECHL which is interesting .

Wow…massive loss of talent. Arguably their four best players.
Not sure I understand how De La Gorgendiere can play though…pretty sure he signed an ECHL contract and would’ve been getting paid, no? Unless the NCAA is dismissing anything prior to the rule change?

You should listen to his interview with Oil Kings GM Kirt Hill. They discuss the NCAA recruitment process.
