Story about Sam Dunn, the Colts 3rd round pick in 2014. He was supposed to play in the NCAA, committed to Niagara University last January. In May, he was told the agreement was canceled.
So not only he lost his NCAA scolarship, he also lost the school money he could have had playing in the CHL for the past 3 years.
He signed with the Quebec Remparts this summer.

So not only he lost his NCAA scolarship, he also lost the school money he could have had playing in the CHL for the past 3 years.
He signed with the Quebec Remparts this summer.
For several years, Ontario defenseman Sam Dunn had a single sport career goal: to play in the NCAA.
Recruited with a full scolarship by the University of Niagara Purple Eagles, a member of the renowned Atlantic Hockey Conference, Dunn, 19, saw his dream crashing in May after a reorganization of the hockey department.
"The Niagara coaching staff was fired at the end of the last season. A new head coach (Jason Lammers, a University of Massachusetts in Lowell alumnus) was hired. It was clear that his plans were different from those of his predecessor. Four or five players, including one of my teammates with the Cobourg Cougars (OJHL) have had their deal canceled".
Dunn had a good reputation in minor hockey. At the age of 16, he was drafted in the 3rd round by the OHL Barrie Colts and he was listed 121st by ISS for the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. "I briefly participated in the Colts training camp (NCAA 48-hours rule). However, at that time, American academic hockey was in my sights."
