> Prep notebook: Eligibility of Duluth East's Carlson

> John Gilbert / Star Tribune
>
> The eligibility of Duluth East hockey player Rheese Carlson remains unsettled,
> pending a meeting in the next few days of the state high school league's eligibility
> committee.
>
> A hearing officer ruled last Friday that Carlson violated state league bylaws when he
> attempted to return to school after starting the year playing junior hockey and attending
> school at Mason City, Iowa. However, the outcome of that hearing was not binding and
> technically was a recommendation to the high school league.
>
> The report suggested the high school league might review the matter further. One
> irregularity is the possibility that a school administrator may have given Carlson's family
> incorrect information on eligibility requirements, which wasn't determined until after he had
> played the first two games of the season.
>
> "We'll investigate it further, by sending it to our eligibility committee," said Skip Peltier,
> the league's associate director in charge of eligibility. The committee, which is composed
> of seven high school league board members, will study the matter and then meet this week.
>
> East, the state's top-rated Class AA team, was undefeated and unscored upon through its
> first four games, but lost 7-5 at Grand Rapids on Saturday. East would have to forfeit its
> victories if Carlson is ultimately declared ineligible.
