I'm putting this here as it applies to hockey more than the other sports, although it certainly impacts all sports. I like this version better than the previous ones:

Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS -- The NCAA Division I cabinet put off a vote on the age-based eligibility model it is considering and instead made minor adjustments to the proposal Friday.

The cabinet removed language about starting an athlete's eligibility clock after their high school graduation. The proposal now says the clock will start upon initial full-time enrollment in college or at the beginning of the academic year following their 19th birthday, whichever occurs first.

Blanar is coming in 2027, not 2026 per Nestrasil's interview. We lost a goalie, Radkov, who I think is playing 1 more year of junior hockey. His stats were mediocre anyway. This list is from NeutralZone.com.

Wow. Are they not even trying to play “home” games anywhere this season? They can’t rent any of the rinks in the area? I get that hockey east teams might be telling them no (which I find hilarious and probably the right choice-why help a competitor unless they way overpay) but they couldn’t get the bruins practice facility? Worcester DCU Center? The rink in Milton where Curry College plays?

Radkov is an NHL draftee, so there must be some potential.

[69MG]

^ Yes, drafted in the 3rd round by Montreal so they must see something in him. He's still coming, but in 2027. Here are his stats - maybe his teams had really bad defenses.
