How much will this change college hockey?

How much will this change college hockey?

A LOT

With NIL, transfer portal, and now this, college hockey is incredibly different than it was five years ago...

Use to be kids going from high school directly into college. Michigan schools for high school kids from Minnesota. Then the USHL league opened up, and now you've got young adults coming in as freshman. In my opinion off hand without listening to others. Not good.

This is going to push more talent out to more schools. More parity will probably result. Big NIL schools will still collect the highest end talent but the mid and lower schools will then see some kids drop to them. It will be interesting to see though. A lot of kids in those junior leagues have no intention of going to college. Some don’t have the grades.
