Episode 3: Professionals are gaining NCAA eligibility — and nobody knows where it stops

from College Hockey, Rewritten · host Eli Cloutier

Hudson Thornton played 49 games in the ECHL. Connor McClennon signed a legitimate AHL contract. Both ended up playing college hockey at Bemidji State. How? The CHL-NCAA Agreement opened a door nobody expected, and now former professionals are gaining NCAA eligibility through a process so murky that nobody can define the rules. Host Eli Cloutier talks with Jared Rubado, Chris Peters, and Brad Schlossman about the loophole nobody saw coming — and whether it'll ever be closed.Music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0.
