The NCAA's recent decision allows junior players in the CHL to maintain college eligibility while playing in OHL, WHL, and QMJHL, expanding development paths.
Previously, players in the CHL were deemed ineligible due to some signing professional contracts with NHL teams. This change aligns with rules in other sports.
The NCAA specifies that players can receive reimbursements for necessary expenses, but team-branded apparel received must be returned or donated unless personally paid for.
The CHL supports this rule change, viewing it as a positive development for players aspiring to balance hockey careers and academics after their CHL tenure.
