Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5387708, member: 1969"] [B]Some data specific to NCAA Eligible Players from the OHL (2004 Born)[/B] The 20 OHL teams are allowed to carry 3 overage players born in 2004 (So there are 60 such kids). 2004 born kids are the only players that came to the OHL before the NCAA rule changes, that are eligible to head to the NCAA next year. 31 of the 60 players are going to the NCAA. (So academic eligibility has NOT been an issue) Of the 29 that are not going to the NCAA - 9 were drafted to the NHL already and might have some experience in the AHL. - 6 are Intenational Players [B]So if you take away those 15 exceptions, its really 31 of 45 eligible kids that are heading to the NCAA as of now. [/B] Academic eligibility has not been an issue, because the CHL had already incentivized these kids to keep up with their studies because of their scholarship program (even its lower tier universities academics wise) [/QUOTE]
