NCAA alters recruiting guidelines for Division I men's hockey
Starting May 1, new guidelines.
So, usually around player's 16th birthday/year things can start.
(However, there's still kids recruited for junior teams by/before age 16.)
Starting May 1, new guidelines.
The new legislation, which will go into effect May 1, calls for no recruiting conversations until Jan. 1 of a player's sophomore (grade 10) school year, as well as no verbal offers (commitments) made to a player until Aug. 1 before the player's junior (grade 11) school year. Under the old guidelines, players could initiate communication at any time, and verbal offers could be made anytime.
