This changes a lot, especially for major junior players who don't stick, especially as over-agers. American teams previously had to pay CHL teams $5k to add a player to their USAH protected list
🚨🚨 This is a big deal

We now have details on implementation. Those entering this fall are under either new/old system, whichevwe is most beneficial. Those entering fall 2027 will be under new system.
Division I adopts age-based eligibility model. The single standard replaces sport-specific rules and waivers. Changes will be fully implemented for the fall 2027 incoming class. The Cabinet's decision is not final until its meeting concludes Wednesday. ncaa.org/news/2026/6/23/medi…

Reminder to y'all that I am still tracking NAHL tenders again this year! This is the 3rd or 4th year that I've done it. I've had a few people ask about it. Full data available on: apx-hockey.com/news-detail-4…

Under the hockey counterproposal, the 5-year clock begins the academic year following a player's 19th birthday or initial college enrollment. Whichever comes first. Huge win for college hockey. The commissioners worked extremely hard on pushing this proposal.
Breaking: The NCAA D1 Cabinet met and further discussed the hockey model today. Sources say the NCAA will adopt hockey’s proposed model, where the eligibility clock begins the season following an athlete’s 19th birthday or college enrollment, removing HS graduation.
