I don't know how much of an impact this has on other major sports (all I remember is us playing basketball against Guelph lol), but at the very least it's going to have major implications for NCAA hockey.

"The Canadians are coming.

Thanks to a ruling at the NCAA convention last month, college hockey may see its next big expansion movement come north of the border.

NCAA officials voted overwhelmingly to allow Canadian schools to apply for NCAA membership in all sports. Canadian schools could begin play in the NCAA as early as next season, with Division II as the predetermined landing spot.

But since hockey doesn't have a Division II, Canadian universities could jump right into Division I in that sport."

I went to a UCLA vs. Monterrey Tech game in 2004
Quote :
"Monterrey Tech, a collegiate team from Mexico, will play UCLA on Thursday, Nov. 11 at 7:30 p.m. in Pauley Pavilion in an exhibition game.
Monterrey Tech replaces Centro Universitario Mineiro Uberlandia (from Brazil). "

One of the Brazilian players murdered another so they had to cancel

Canadians play football with 12 men on the field too. And wtf is up with the goal posts being right at the goal line? I thought all the people running into them is why we (Americans) moved the goal posts behind the endzone.

from that graphic, it looks like the goal posts are planted at about the goal line, and then hang over to boot.

WEIRD.

they'll just call in the IN-CAA, which is pronounced the same as NCAA in some parts of the country.

i've always wondered why the NHL was acceptable since it's not just one nation.

National Basketball Assoc.
National Hockey League


they're all just names. no real context. I mean come on we have the WORLD SERIES, and only 3 countries can at most participate. 2 of them has only 1 team.

it will stay NCAA and I think this is awesome. maybe NCAA hockey will finally get some damn attention.
