There is no age limit. But you do lose a year of eligibility for each season you play elsewhere after 21. So an old guy who has been hurt is a possibility.

His two(2) years of pro happened before he was 21, so he would have 5 years of eligibility. At 27, he wouldn't be setting any 'old guy' CIS records. However I don't know if he wants to go to school (maybe Ryerson and play out of MLG)'...Brett now works in Toronto for hedge fund Radiant Capital

There is no age limit (the word 'age' doesn't even appear in the CIS Eligibility package), but there was for football at one time - the new football eligibility rule is 5 years on a 7 or 8 year clock that starts once you leave high school (clock depends on where you went to high school).

oops - forgot to carry the one. That would be interesting, playing hockey with guys 15 years your junior.

They are net positive given the guys they are losing were low on the Points list and the guys coming in are stronger players. Acadia is definitely stronger this year.

I wonder what Archer thinks about leaving McGill in October now (to join Acadia)?

By the Looks at the Recruiting (or lack of for Saskatchewan, Calgary and Alberta) looks like Manitoba is the Team to beat for the Canada West Title this season

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Is Jimmy Bubnick still playing for Sask. this season? He was announced way back...maybe even before last season ended...I don't recall seeing anything about him going pro.

[UNB Bruins Fan]

The San Francisco Bulls (ECHL) have signed another AUS player...agreeing to a contract with Matt Carter (UPEI).

I find the lack of announcements from half of the league to be a bit odd. Of course, much depends on who is coming back.

There was some mention of it on the first page of this thread...apparently there was an article in the Calgary Herald about it but the link doesn't work anymore.

Here is an article from March 30th (http://www.660news.com/news/local/ar...FF-2011&title=)...it just says that he is "most likely going to the U of S" so it must have just been speculation. I don't see any announcement from the university itself.

Maybe it is just me but it doesn't seem like many of the AUS teams have improved over last season....at least based on what we know so far. Maybe teams are a bit more weary announcing any big name players until they know for sure they will show up.

- UPEI lost a ton of their top guys who are going to be almost impossible to replace in one offseason
- STU and Moncton have to replace Lavigne and Ouellet, respectively, and many of the guys they have announced are non-CHL guys
- Dal has been fairly quiet with only a handful of MJAHL guys announced
- SMU has lost Fergus and Pridham and I think Wharton, they have also recruited more non-CHL guys than I can ever remember
- St. FX has lost Swan and Chase Schaber from their recruiting class (although the rest of their class looks pretty solid)
- UNB, even after adding Braes/Robertson/Critchlow (officially), still has yet to replace 2 of their top-3 defenceman from last year.

So far it appears Acadia has improved the most over last season with a solid recruiting class and almost all of their top players returning.

[HockeySchools]

UdeM adds Alex Emond and Raphael Pouliot, both from QMJHL. Pouliot decommitted from McGill to attend UdeM.

Nice pick-ups for UdeM. Pouliot is a big guy with good numbers.

STU added Swift Current Broncos goalie Jon Groenheyde in the middle of the summer.
