Whats the reasoning the NCAA decided on the 5 for 5 ruling that they did instead of 5 years of eligibility with 24 being the oldest you can turn during your 5th year of eligibility?
Little fun fact with ESPN having the Stanley Cup final broadcast rights this year: If the Hartford Whalers never fired their communications director, Bill Rasmussen, in 1978 then ESPN would have likely never been founded
It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Johan Nilsson, the founder of Elite Prospects and the person whose curiosity and passion for hockey planted the seed for everything we have built together.
Born on the 9th of April 1981, Johan founded Elite Prospects in December 1999 at just 18 years old. What started as a vision driven by a deep love of hockey grew into the world’s leading hockey platform, a testament to the kind of person he was. Johan had a rare combination of qualities: sharp intellect, deep knowledge, and a kindness that made everyone around him feel valued.
He could dive into the most complex problems with calm and clarity, and he brought that same thoughtfulness to the people he worked with every day. For the past nine years, Johan faced a battle with colon cancer with the same calm and strength that defined everything he did.
His love of hockey was never just about the game. It was about understanding it fully, honestly, and in all its detail. That drive is woven into the DNA of Elite Prospects, and it will continue to shape the future of what we do.
To know Johan was to be quietly inspired by him. We are all immensely grateful that we got to work alongside someone like him. Our deepest condolences go to his family and loved ones. He will be greatly missed, by all of us and by the global hockey community. Johan leaves behind his beloved wife and two children, aged two and eight.

And so it ends for the Bridgeport Islanders after 25 seasons.
It's not just a team losing a playoff series. It's people losing jobs, fans losing their team and a way to socialize each winter, and the city losing something that only 32 markets in North America get to have.
