The NCAA has voted to make junior players in the CHL eligible to play college hockey beginning next season. The landmark announcement creates new development paths for OHL, WHL, and QMJHL players previously barred from NCAA participation. The policy change comes after OHL player Rylan Masterson filed a class action lawsuit against the NCAA in August. Additionally, NCAA players can now attend NHL training camps even after enrollment, provided they adhere to the same “actual and necessary expenses” regulations and do not play in any external scrimmages or exhibition games. Pre-approval sought from NCAA compliance will ensure class is not missed before a player can attend any camp.
