    I wonder why they did this? It seems like College Hockey has been getting stronger all the time, more teams, better teams the Frozen 4 is a great tournament. I don't know why they would want to do this.

    Bobda has there been any mention or discussion of the impact of this on Michigan sites?

    I have not seen much on this. Most of the top college players do not graduate and leave for the NHL by their junior or senior years so the effect may not be that dramatic. That article is right about the great job Jackson has done.

    I thought college basball has somewhat similar rules regarding draft rights of players who are drafted in high school but end of going to college.
