But if a player would decide to drop out of NCAA hockey, can he still play major junior?
I think that he can, but I am having a debate with a friend about it.

Yes.
As long as a player is 20 or younger, he can play Tier 1 Junior A
As long as a player is 20 or younger, and has not played professionally, he can play Tier 2 Junior A
As long as a player has not played professionally, and not played Tier 1 Junior A, he is eligible to play NCAA hockey
As long as you are enrolled at the respective school...you can play CIAU hockey (At one time, more players had played in the NHL and gone on to play in the CIAU then the other way around)
Jeff P, from a financial perspective, players get the same financial compensation for Tier 2 and Tier 1 Junior A. The NCAA does not have an issue with that. The NCAA has an issue with the NHL/CHL agreement. Prior to 1980 (when the NHL lowered the age limit to 18), many players played Tier 1 Junior A and then played college.

OHL-purely examine out the WJHC historic previous and splendor what number NCAA gamers (you are able to comprise graduates) have truthfully gained. be taught that with OHL gamers and previous OHL gamers who've gained and it is not even close. regardless of if it particularly is in basic terms hockey- OHL, education NCAA. As for Loblaw's rivalry that an NCAA team might beat an OHL team 10 out of 10 situations, CIS communities are nowhere the first of an OHL team, and that i observed the Lakehead Thunderwolves pound the **** out of the UMD Bulldogs in an exhibition sport. additionally the Notre Dame Hounds will no longer be able to be whilst in comparison with an OHL team, and Shattuck's superb participant this 365 days (Joe Basaraba- baby from my place of origin) whilst an incredible participant is not any Taylor corridor, Crosby in basic terms performed there for a short-time in the past going to QMJHL.

I wouldn't have debated with anyone over this without reasonable doubt, but I didn't know this actually. I knew that the NCAA considered the OHL pro, but not the reverse.
So goood question, it made me learn something today. Lol.

Sure. Major Junior isn't limited by the requirements that NCAA imposes. the thing with NCAA is that you cna't have played pro hockey- aka not received money for it. The catch for most players wanting to do that would be the age though.
If a team would take him, he could.

Looks like one more reason for me to think the NCAA is out to lunch.
