It was the old "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard"... which they said after the game, too.
Windsor Spitfires 2024-25 Season Thread, Part I
- Thread starter SoupNazi
- Start date
Isn't every OHL team pretty much renewing education packages on a year to year basis? For example and yes an extreme one. Ethan Martin has a very small role at times a healthy scratch. If a smaller NCAA school eg. Bama Huntsville or Lindenwood wanted him. He's probably not an OA he will jump. This example is more for next year if you're 19 and not signed and maybe a bubble OA. Those guys will probably leave. I expect a school like Arizona St to thrive in this environment for obvious reasons.
Works often in playoffs.
Windsor has experienced being on wrong end a few times..

Canada White advances to the gold metal game tomorrow with a win over Sweden. Beltchz and Lemieux did not factor in the scoring.
The standard OHL contract is 4 years. Once 1 regular season game is played in the season a year worth of the education "scholarship " kicks in fir another year. Rights would be 4 years unless the team relinquish rights or "trades" rights.
Sure but these players can still play NCAA for 4 years. Wouldn't the CHL contract become useless? NCAA schools have 25 scholarships a year now.
How it plays out with new CHL contracts signed after Aug 1 2025 may differ. NCAA and CHL teams may have a mutual interest in developing a player in high school with hopes they committ to the NCAA . Don't think for a second that LONDON's wheels are turning already. Slippery slope. CHL draft rights from the USA are limited to geographic location currentlybut NCAA will be nation wide. The big question is will young USA born players Start coming over to play a couple of years CHL? I can see Canadian kids now staying in Canada now that they can go NCAA as an option. Not sure this whole decision affects more than late development players or high prospects that didn't get drafted from the OHL. Then again no transfer agreement with the NHL AND NCAA so great prospects may still go NCAA knowing they can be AHL eligible at 18 should they choose. The CHL/NHL transfer agreement is in place until 2028. For now lol.

Just looking through a few things, the Spitfires have...
2008 - D Andrew Robinson and D Sam Wathier who are both NCAA commits, along with F Drake Gram.
2007 - Easton Pace is listed with the Tri City Storm USHL and is a Colorado commit.
I don't know who else would be a consideration, or if the guys above would even consider it.

Spits already have 4 08's on the roster so that won't be an option. Spits could use more quality 07's.
