> Hello,

> I've just found out from our local daily here that Trevor Amundrud, a
> promising freshman goalie for UNH, left school when he found out that the
> NC$$ had recently taken another *full* year of eligibilty from him.
>
> Amundrud, from Big River, Sask., had entered UNH with the knowledge that the
> NC$$ had ruled him ineligible for all of 1994-95, plus two games
> next season, due to his participation in two games with the Moose Jaw
> Warriors of the Western Hockey League, a Major Junior affiliation.
>
> Apparently, the mere action of signing an agreement to play for Moose Jaw
> cost him the extra year.
>
> Does anyone (Charlie?) have any insights into what rules were violated to
> cause this increase in Amundrud's ineligibility?
>
> Thanks,
