I spoke with someone very close to college hockey on vacation last week. A coach at what we would call a mid major…

He said the additional scholarships as part of this settlement will likely be the end of many mid major hockey teams.

He said what we know, many college hockey teams are essentially loss leaders for schools.

He said that the coming years will see a churn of many smaller schools cancel college hockey with many large schools adding college hockey to keep the numbers where they need to be as teams but also more revenue and eyes to the sport.

He would not surprised to see ACC schools at hockey within a decade.
