In regards to the changes of the landscape at the college and junior levels, I asked Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly if the NHL has considered changing the draft age to 19 like the other major sports leagues.

As Cole Smith plays in the Stanley Cup Final tonight, here's a reminder that he got cut from the USHL after high school and had one scholarship offer out of the MJHL - a 20% deal to North Dakota. https://t.co/qRI0P8uym3
Congratulations to all of those who work on TNT Sports’ NHL coverage, as their season concluded last night. It’s now their fifth season in the books and I know their work is greatly appreciated by many hockey fans. We will see them again in October!
Lots of us hockey fans already know this, but Liam McHugh continues to be one of the best in the business. A phenomenal opening to tonight’s broadcast.
James Murray joined NHL Now to break down Gavin McKenna’s freshman season at Penn State and why the projected No. 1 pick continues to separate himself ahead of the 2026 NHL Draft
Will he go No. 1? Let us know ⬇️
Starting this upcoming season a goalie trapezoid will be implemented to align with the NHL.
Hand passes will be allowed in the D zone.
Timeouts are no longer allowed in a situation where a team can’t change (after an icing, etc.)
Starting with the 2026-27 season, Division I men's ice hockey games will use a trapezoid area marked below the end line. Goalkeepers will be allowed to play the puck below the goal line in this area of the ice, but not outside this area toward the corners of the rink. This aligns with National Hockey League rules and markings. Division III men's ice hockey will add this for the 2027-28 competition season to allow planning for this adjustment.
