Probably way oversimplifying, but maybe a games-played threshold determines eligibility for immediate transfer. Maybe under 15 GP for a skater and five for a goalie. IDK.
If you’re not playing, you can change schools right away. Otherwise you sit a year, or else this will continue to happen on a large scale every spring.
Way too sensible for the ncaa to ever consider.
Can’t say either way, but I think the decision was made very late in the season.
Interesting that his transfer comes as a two-year home-and-home scheduling contract with Michigan State expired.
Any type of threshold like that would be a restriction against transfers and the general idea is that if everyone else can leave for presumably greener pastures why can’t the athlete?
That said I think restricting transfers to one time undergraduate, one time graduate, any time the head coach leaves would not be too bad.
Red wanted to play with Ryan, who graduated.plus he knew the Mich State coach from having been on the US Nat development team.
Players who left were tired of playing on a shitty team. I don’t blame them 1 bit.
LOL. My buddy texted me a couple days ago about that same coach joining his neighborhood softball team. Hopefully he can get the details out of him.
Does anyone know if the NCHC “deal” with CBSSN is a multi year thing, like an actual TV contract? Or do they just buy air time on a year to year basis? Anyone know how the CBSSN deal is structured? Asking because I don’t recall anyone ever writing about it.

Will UCLA spend some of the new B1G cash on a rink?
Los Angeles as the birthplace of California college hockey? That article is USIU erasure.
Yep. People forget about the Gulls from San Diego - three years at D1 back in the 80s.
There’s a whole group of ice hockey club teams just waiting to make the jump
Sounds like the writer is a bit naive about the costs of jumping to Division I.
Because the Anaheim Ducks are donors doesn’t mean they’re shoo-ins to dole out that type of money.
Washington is a rich west coast program in an area where hockey has always been important but somewhat under the radar. The Huskies have a robust ACHA program and there has been talk for years about joining ASU as a D1 program with a yet to be built on-campus rink. They played for years in Seattle Junior Hockey’s Mountlake Terrace rink with about a thousand seats - about 10 miles north of campus. I think they’ve moved closer to campus now and probably play most games in the Kraken’s practice facility at Northgate.
The Kraken have created a whole new generation of hockey fans there now. And they have two WHL teams in the Metro area, as well - the Everett Silvertips (25 miles north) and Seattle Thunderbirds (25 miles south). But neither rink would work for UW.
I would say taking Washington to D1 will not happen unless the B1G expands and picks up the Huskies. Even then it might be a long shot.
I didn’t read this in enough detail, obviously. The author thinks UCLA hockey can play at the Great Park Ice in Irvine while they wait for Pauley to be renovated to hold an ice sheet under the basketball court? Setting aside whether it’s even possible to do that with Pauley, she thinks it’s realistic for the hockey teams to play 60 miles away for a few years? That rush hour traffic for a 7 pm Friday start would be something else.
Well, if San Diego State can spend two years playing football at that random Chargers/soccer stadium in LA it isn’t impossible.
Coastal Carolina’s ACHA team lost its rink in Myrtle Beach a few years ago. Their only option for survival was to make The Wilmington Ice House in NC their home rink. It’s UNCW’s rink.
The Chanticleers travel 88 miles each way twice a week for practices and their home games are basically weekend road trips. Last I knew there’s still no ice in the Myrtle Beach area.
You really have to want to play hockey badly in some places in the South.
Ouch. Enrollment from 16K to 10K in 10 years.
