There would be a lot of problems with this. CHL you cant touch. No team would lend their players out. Risk of injury is too high. Not to mention the guys need time off. 68 game regular season. Up to 28 post season games. Then Memorial Cup would be another 4 games. These guys will have just finished played up to 90+ games in the season. June/July off. Then in August the kids are headed back for the next season.
hm ok. spoke with one JR B GM and he said youd need to have a good repoire him the home club, but not out of question. It would depends on facilities, therapists and resources such as that to get in sort of home club favor I;d imagine.
what is the contracutal situation of this? Im assuming the clubs own their rights and have last say on 'yes or no' regardless how a player feels?
Jr B would be one thing. Major Junior is another. Most Junior A players are NCAA commits if they are good players. So you would probably get some interest from Jr A, B and C players, CHL would be out of the question. They would never allow their players to take a risk like this. Not to mention most teams want the guys off the ice for a while in the summer to give them a break. Not that NZ wouldnt be a great place to be. I have a friend from HS who moved over there and plays hockey there in mens league. He seems to love it.
Right makes sense. Would be curious if there was a point that major junior club would see it as beneficial to their asset. Instead of 2.5 days per game what if it was more like 4+ so players could focus on training while still playing Ina competitive environment. Lots of other factors involved such as competition level and facilities, physio, doctor etc etc, but curious IF there was a way. Jr A B C seems alot more doable. Thx for ur answer
Maybe something along the line of what the NBA does? They have a pile of private games amongst training groups. All players from all levels can play. Not sure how this works though. Or even like the Vegas summer league?
any idea about USPORTS player eligibility come summertime? can they get paid? would the even be allowed to as a student-athlete?
i know other variables exist but curious from the institutional perspective if it's a hard NO or not.
