He also played 5 games in the ECHL at the end of the season.
... a season-ending injury ...

So, 4 years of NCAA, but one waived due to injury, consuming 3 leaving 2 (in USPORTS).

A few games of Pro (after turning 21) which consume another year of eligibility (drops him from two to one) and 365 days of rest (2019-20 season, which he sat out) allows him to play right away with 1-year of eligibility.

One of the more complicated transfer/recruits in the past few years. Ryerson definitely wants to get all the paperwork in order (dot i's and cross t's).

D Dylan DiPerna is the latest SMU Husky to leave school with multiple years of eligibility remaining, signing with a team in Italy.

Pardon the interruption, I was just curious after reading this post.

Obviously, USports allows you to play at the professional level and retain eligibility, and you get five years instead of the four in NCAA.

Is there any type of "eligibility clock" in USports? Once you enroll in a post-secondary school, the NCAA gives you five years to play up to four seasons. Is there anything comparable like that in Canada?

Not that I'm aware of. I remember broadcasting games that included a 27-year-old, who'd been out action for two seasons between his fourth and fifth year of eligibility.

There was for a time, in the 80's, Something around losing a year of eligibility for every year over, I want to say 25th birthday. Football in CIS has one in place. I thought they were all gone now, because of discrimination on the basis of age laws. In any event, Mike Danton must have been at least 29 at Saint Mary's.

There is no clock in USports. Matt Cossaboom and Paul Whelan each competed for RMC as Masters students in their fifth year of eligibility more than a decade after their rookie year:

Paul Whalen [ca.1998-2010] Hockey Stats and Profile at hockeydb.com
Paul Whelan somehow improved greatly over that decade.

Thats a MASSIVE loss for the Paladins. Hopefully he was healthy after 2 injury lost seasons to be a wingman for Paquette and put up some points in a shortened season.

It's a loss, but RMC was pretty darn good without him over the past two seasons.

Ottawa was already losing almost their entire team but they've lost 2 more guys to pro hockey:

Medric Mercier is going to Scotland

Dominic Cormier is going to the ECHL

This has been answered for you by Miami and Adam, but I wanted to add - the reason for my original post is USPORTS has a rule that you can't play your 5th year in USPORTS if you completed 4 in NCAA. This is considered a 'career' and as such you can't squeeze in one more year by coming home.

As some have mentioned, there was an age limit at one time, added in late eighties and removed in the 90s, the rumor I heard - it was to handcuff U of T who had been bringing in a number of older players (27-30) for short 1-2 years of play. I don't know how true it is, but Toronto was certainly less competitive since this occurred.

The new forwards consist of D'Artagnan Joly, Cole Tymkin, Tyler Burnie, Joshua Bourne, Cole Tymkin, Christophe Cote, Matthew O'Brien and Justin Kyle. The incoming defencemen are Samuel Duchesne and Sam Huston alongside goaltenders Aidan Hughes and Mario Peccia.

The team also looks forward to the debut of forward Owen Guy and defenceman Connor Russell, who were both redshirts last season.
