Does anyone know exactly when a player loses their eligibility for NCAA?
I must say I hope Andrew Macdonald decides to stick around.

Probably not much ... meal money and accommodations basically, for a maritimer like MacDonald, he may even have friends or relatives to crash with in Moncton. I wonder if the rumoured arrival of Yandle will impact MacDonald's interest in the Cats or vice versa?

There was a very informative post on the Mooseboard a few months back in which the father of a player (can you guess who ?) that was considering NCAA ... and had attended a QMJHL camp ... even played exhibition games ... discussed the rules of NCAA eligibility and exceptions. There were some things there that weren't exactly as most had thought. If somebody wants to go find it and post a link here it would be good reading for all.

Bottom line, if Marquardt Yandle and MacDonald are staying they will be in the lineup tonight...once they play an exhibition game NCAA is out the door.

I thought it was Alex MacDonald's dad that went on here clarifying a few things about NCAA. I thought he had said that after playing an exhibition's game or so, a player is subject to loose a year's eligibility or something like that. Don't remember exactly, but it was not as cut & dry as most people thought. EDIT: I added the word 'not' above.

Edit: Found it .... mooseheads.proboards33.com/index.cgi?board=2005&action=display&thread=1121852527&page=4the gist of the post is this ... "If a player wishes to retain his FULL NCAA eligibility, he can stay in a major junior camp for 48 hours as long as nothing is paid for and he does not play any exhibition games. Scrimmages among the players trying out for the team are not a problem. If the player plays exhibition games for the team against another team then the player loses SOME of his eligibility. If a player plays 3 exhibition games, he would lose one full year of eligibility plus he would have to sit out one game of the second year for each exhibition game. Thus, my son would have to enroll at the US college for one year, not play hockey that year, and then sit out three games of the sophomore season. The NCAA college that contacted us were told on the FIRST phone call exactly what Alex had done and how it would affect his US eligibility. There was never any attempt by us to deceive the College. The College understood this and were still interested. "

Basically a player going NCAA would not suit up for any exhibitions so he would not have to sit out a year and not play(has to be enrolled and sit out).

Correct ... which means they never actually lose their elegibility ... they can still play NCAA but must sit a year. Pretty much the same as leaving minor-pro to play CIS.
