@j22 semantics kind of, but would change to say much of. It's been happening already for awhile with avg team ages going up. Just looking rapidly at CHN at sorting by age, avg roster age the last couple years has had between 17-20 teams with avg age under 21. This is compared to 18-19 having about 30 and same for 17-18. Think the COVID years/extra eligibility years have really affected the influx of players so will be curious to see where that number resettles to and if a permanent shift or not. Don't know how much the Canadian hockey legislation will change it from where it's already been.
with the changes, it's not going to make much sense to have any 18-19 year old players in the NCAA.@j22 semantics kind of, but would change to say much of.
