[QUOTE="sl1000794, post: 322336, member: 6974"] Yes, there is a big difference between a freshman college hockey player and a senior college hockey player. The NCAA requires college athletes in MOST sports to use their 4 years of eligibility within 5 years of HS graduation. Hockey is one of the exceptions. College hockey players have until age 25 to use their four years of eligibility. If you look at a college hockey roster you probably will only see 1 or 2 players coming straight from HS to college hockey. Most spend a year or two in Jr. Leagues. That is why there are college hockey players that go straight from college hockey to the NHL. UND probably only gets about half of their players that use all 4 years of eligibility. Rookie NHL signing bonus and pay is right at $1M. Hard to pass up but several of this years did just that. They got the postseason taken away from them last year and they ALL decided to stay one more year and make a run at the National Championship. I really respect and appreciate their effort and school spirit for that. [/QUOTE]
