The NCAA has approved legislation in regards to the first contact by coaches with recruits.
At the NCAA Division 1 Legislative Council meeting on January 15th, 2014, legislation was passed that now allows NCAA Division 1 ice hockey coaches the ability to initiate phone calls to a prospective recruit and unlimited text messaging and emails starting January 1 of the player's sophomore year (Grade 10) in high school.
Division 1 coaches are extremely happy about this because they will now be on a more level playing field with the OHL and QMJHL in regards to contacting prospective players.
For you, as a player, it means you will have more opportunity to make a well informed decision in your draft year. It also means that you will need to prepare earlier and be ready when the D1 coaches start contacting you.
This is a new feature for YCH News. We will have a different team or topic each month. Each article will provide 10 not so well known bits of information to help with your research. The goal of this information is to help you gather all the information to find the school and team that is the right fit for you.
This month we focus on Manhattanville College Men's Team. Click on this link for 10 Things You May Not Know About Manhattanville College Valiants Men's Hockey Team to help you in your team and school research.
A little fun stuff for this month. I caught this article from the Puck Daddy blog about "How to be a College Hockey Player".
He comments on a video starring the University of Wisconsin Badgers men's hockey team. I found it to be fun and light hearted, so I wanted to share it with you this month.
