Possible pick ups?

[Blades 4 Life!]

Have you lost your marbles?? With the way it sounds with Chris Cloud I would be very shocked if he was to return next season,and I think you are right about Konecny he might not return next year( I think that we will see one new Euro in Saskatoon) and if you take a look at the stats you can pick out a handful of players that could be in a Oil Kings jersey next season. It would be a dumb move if Crowley was left unprotected, because he has the hardest work ethic on the team IMO.

Crowley has the hardest work ethic on the team. That amazing work ethic is going to start shaping him into being a point getter. I don't see him putting up very many but i can see 10-20 points he will put up.

For some reason people say that Matt Swaby will be gone from Tri-cites... I have no experience with whl so if you can help me out with this that would be great since i live in Hamilton and know nothing about the whl thanks.

I don't know what happens to a players scholarship if they play a game in the WHL but I found a copy of the NCAA Division 1 Hockey Manual online and this is what I found about eligibility... I am unable to find anything linking # of GP in the WHL to loss of seasons in the NCAA...

In section 12 Amateurism...

12.2.3.2.4 Major Junior A Ice Hockey. Ice hockey teams in the United States and Canada, classified by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association as Major Junior A teams, are considered professional teams under NCAA legislation.

This is a subsection...

12.2.3.2.4.1 Limitation on Restoration of Eligibility. An appeal for restoration of eligibility may be submitted on behalf of an individual who has participated on a major junior A ice hockey team under the provisions of Bylaw 14.12; however, such individual shall be denied at least the first year of intercollegiate athletics competition in ice hockey at the certifying institution and shall be charged with the loss of at least one season of eligibility in the sport of ice hockey.
