I posted here some time ago that Kerry Angus had transferred to UAH from Lowell, where he had reportedly used up his eligibility. I called the hockey office today for more details and this is what they told me. Angus was no longer eligible to play D-I hockey because of his age. Our hockey office said that the D-I rules preclude him from playing past age 23 in D-I. However, in D-II, older players are allowed to play. I asked them if his status was at all related to having playing Junior hockey in Canada, and they said not. My past understanding was that guys who played Junior A and entered college at age 20 or later lost a year of eligibility for every year they were over 19. Ie. If a guy started playing college hockey at age 21 after having played Junior A, he was only to be eligible for 2 years of competition in D-I. Perhaps the age rule is for everyone, though, not just former Junior A players. Hope this clears up some of the questions I got. If anyone has a rule book, I'd be interested to find where the specific difference is between D-I and D-II that allow for a situation like Angus'. At any rate, Angus seems to be doing quite well anchoring the UAH defense. Tim Newman
