@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.

Landen Gunderson flips to Notre Dame. They might actually be relevant again once Jackson leaves and the new guy takes over.

Gunderson was a Notre Dame commit for all of 11 days. Now he has flipped to Ohio State.

Instagram account says Ohio State commit as well
That’s wild. What changes in 11 days? Could Ohio State be bringing him in mid season?
Not a player we’d want. Glad we’d stayed away.

This is about to get messy.

Connor Levis committed to Bowling Green over the weekend. The commitment raised some eyebrows because Levis played two AHL games for the Manitoba Moose last season. Levis is in his final CHL eligibility season with the Vancouver Giants.
The Moose are the AHL affiliate of the Winnipeg Jets, which drafted Levis in the seventh round of the 2023 NHL Draft.
Levis played those two games with the Moose under an ATO (amateur tryout agreement). Speaking to several NHL agents over the weekend, the terms of those tryout deals vary. Typically, players are compensated for round-trip travel from a specific location, hotel room, and meals (some include per diem).
Under the new NCAA rules, if that’s all a player received on an ATO, that player would maintain his NCAA eligibility.
Players can participate with professional teams before their initial full-time enrollment if they receive no compensation beyond necessary expenses.
Every agent said they would “need to see the actual agreement.” Still, all speculated that Levis (and other players in his situation) wouldn’t likely receive more than their expenses, which would maintain their NCAA eligibility.

@frozen4champs i dunno on this one. as long as it's just their expenses, don't see why this would be an issue (as an ATO). Players aren't going to be "signed" for lengthy versions of these as it doesn't help the player or the team. could i guess players do this at end of season and then come back if the team doesn't want them? I guess so but again I don't see that as being incredibly common and you'd have to be very careful with that contract.
@upnorthkid I just hope this doesn't become a trend. Plus, I have never heard of a North American player doing something like this. I know a few foreign players have had to miss a couple of college games because they played or practiced with a "pro" team over seas. BG needs all the help they can get I guess, plus he will be 21 when he hits campus.
