    Re: Union Hockey Offseason Thread - That was fun...

    There was a blurb about Welsh in the new THN magazine, where he is referred to as "a Ferris State product". Ugh.

      That will probably mean no Garnet / White scrimmage since I don't think practice starts until October 1.

        Would they hold the scrimmage on Friday?

          The coaches aren't allowed to even hold any sort of official event (including practice) prior to October 6th. Source is http://www.ncaapublications.com/prod...loads/D112.pdf bylaw 17.12.2 and 17.12.3. I realize this is last year's rule book, but next year's hasn't been released, and I highly doubt this rule will change.

            Well, I guess that means no scrimmage. Thanks for the insight. I didn't realize they were so precise.

              That doesn't mean they can't scrimmage. They could just have the scrimmage on, say, the 8th or 9th.

                So how can they open the season with a game on the 6th?

                  It's 25 weeks (minus the week break you get around Christmas) from the National Championship game that year.

                    It's 25 weeks from the start of the NCAA tournament to be precise.. though the math works out the same. But I'm not understanding what you're saying about Christmas - does that week not count toward the 25?

                      This stems from how one of the Alaska teams was able to play on September 30th this past year.

                      Now I know what it was, Bylaw 17.27.1:

                      17.27.1 Practice and Playing Seasons. Member institutions located in Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico
                      shall not be required to observe the starting dates for the practice and playing seasons set forth in this bylaw, provided
                      the amount of practice and number of contests engaged in by such institutions in each sport do not exceed
                      the amount of practice and number of contests in each sport permitted other members of the Association.
                      As for the "break", you're only allowed to have your season within a 132-day period (18 6/7 weeks, including practices and games, minus travel days, final exams, things like that, see bylaw 17.1.6.4 for all the exceptions).

                        Wow! You have to be a tax accountant to keep track of all this.. but so the bottom line is some teams will play games on October 6th without having even one organized practice (unless they have it the morning of the game)

                          At least one that is led by the coaching staff at a school-sanctioned location.

                            There can be captain's practices earlier, and IIRC the coaches can meet with small groups of players earlier also.

                              Correct. IIRC, coaches can meet for a limited numober of sessions, with a limited number of players. Captains can (and do) run practices otherwise.

                                Well for starters -- building, fire and ADA code compliance would be a great 1st step.

                                But really, I don't think its worth spending too much on a building whose design (round, low ceiling) is fatally flawed for a rink. The Admin dropped the ball years ago when they still had Center City rink in town. Even if the consensus was against using a renovated center city as the new home, they could've used it while they knocked down Achilles and built new on campus. I do of course understand that the institutional support and on-ice success wasnt what it is today.
