Over the last 20 years…

Elections decided on Election Night:
Republicans: 52%
Democrats: 48%

Elections decided AFTER Election Night:
Republicans: 20%
Democrats: 80%

This is totally insane.

Nothing to see here…

@SchlossmanGF And what about the 2004s who got the chl in the middle of their age out year. Kids are always going to get hurt. No one cried for my son.

@CHHoodlum @NCAA You should read the comments

[ZolieTheGoalie @TheRealMCZ]

@CHL2NCAA @NAHLHockey @JrAmerksNAHL @PWHL_Boston @ClankoMedia Follow the money. And the money’s kids are done with hockey.

[ZolieTheGoalie @TheRealMCZ]

Then go back to the CHL. This is College Sports with a capital C. I don’t see the NBA or NFL pushing an agenda. What seat at the table does the NHL have with college education? Should we also take the temperature of European professional leagues while we are at it. The NHL likes 25 year olds on campus with 18 year olds ok I got it. Are they also opining on the amount of credits they can take during a season?

[ZolieTheGoalie @TheRealMCZ]

When did 21 year old freshman become about college education? It has been after the fact justified (after coaches bastardized C Hockey by stretching the rules initially) about competing with CHL in the NHL lane. It hasn’t been about education for a while. And the same kids your worried about only having 2 years were probably going to be cut and left for the portal by these same coaches wishing two years of reaching campus. What the NCAA is doing is resetting the College part of College Hockey, but allas yes a couple birth years are collateral damage. it sucks but they are paying for the reset required.

@JMaxwell2424 @SchlossmanGF @MikeMcMahonCHN but they took the main brunt of it, mid season. ruined teams, kids found out in november of season path to d1 cut off at knees. Talks and commitments disappeared over night.

[ZolieTheGoalie @TheRealMCZ]

@MikeMcMahonCHN It has to happen, and NCAA hockey needs to get on board. 21 year old freshman never made sense.

@SenTedCruz Don’t agree with you on everything but you are 100% right here

[ZolieTheGoalie @TheRealMCZ]

@permurr02 Look at the kids left in the portal right now. Do you think they are there by choice? Probably the same amount at risk in the 2006 class you are talking about. Open your appature.

Matthew, did you say anything to defend the 2004s when the NCAA opened up college hockey mid year 2024-25? I didn’t think so. These changes are hard some class of kids are going to get screwed when change happens. Life lesson for kids. Go get an education, play ACHA. The better ones will find a college path and thus a pro path.

[ZolieTheGoalie @TheRealMCZ]

it’s unfortunate but the roll back is going to affect some class. If not 2006 it’s the 2009 or 2010 who will have to try to insert themselves into college hockey versus older player with more linitied spots because of 5 year eligability. There is no way around affecting a birthyear who will have adverse consequences. Its unfortunate for the 2006 but if not them then some other birth year. This is payback for a system that went beyond the appropriate limits. Its like those kids who had to graduate, start then study remotely during Covid. Bad luck of the draw, its not fair but it happend live with it.

[ZolieTheGoalie @TheRealMCZ]

This is what happens what you have to unravel bad policy to begin with. There is no easy fix. It’s on the coaches for getting to this point where they are enrolling 23 year old freshman with over two years of pro experience. Yes it’s within the rules but should they have had enough self awareness to know they probably shouldn’t? Shame on NCAA hockey and College Hockey Inc for chasing what best competed against the CHL (21 year old age out freshman) instead of what was most aligned and best for a path that was for kids who wanted a degree first and potential path to pro hockey second. THATS! College Hockey.

[ZolieTheGoalie @TheRealMCZ]

@HackswithHaggs yah and everyone complaining should open their eyes and realize the NCAA is exactly right.

[ZolieTheGoalie @TheRealMCZ]

@Mariucci_Guy Absolutely right.

[ZolieTheGoalie @TheRealMCZ]

@CHN_AdamWodon @teeraps @HedgeyeDJ Well Clarkson just signed a 2003 goalie with 2 years in pros. Hasn’t gone away yet!

[ZolieTheGoalie @TheRealMCZ]

@ClarksonBlog @CollegePuckNXT Doesn’t make it right. Fonz jumps the shark.
