Both Major Junior Hockey and the NCAA are competing for the same top tier talent pool of junior hockey players. The NCAA has designed eligibility rules, which should be considered generally in the minor midget year of any player. Our independent Advisors guide parents as family advisors through eligibility considerations and development opportunities. Like other hockey options, an NCAA commitment is not a guarantee of either skill development or a full education with the exception of an Ivy League school commitment. To consider the pursuit of NCAA, Brian Trenholm is uniquely positioned to provide the guidance and assessment and strategies to pursue these possibilities in Division I, II and III programs. The NHL-NHLPA CBA no longer requires players to opt-in to the NHL draft. Players who go on to NCAA programs can now be drafted in the NHL draft without losing NCAA eligibility. Our family advisor program can assist parents to continue to properly assess their son's situation through to the end of his NCAA career.
