I can't say whether the rules on this are exactly the same today as they were
in the '70s. I believe the NCAA considers the major juniors to be a
professional league, and playing for a major junior team has serious or fatal
consequences on college eligibility. I recall several instances in the past
(including at least one here at Evil Whistle Blower U.) in which a college
hockey player had previously suited up for a small number of games with a major
junior team and was forced to sit out one year plus that number of games the
following season.

My understanding is that the official recorded score for a forfeited game is
1-0, though the player stats from that game (if it was actually played prior to
the forfeit) count.
