PLAYER
ELIGIBILITY
Article
IV, Paragraph C
4. For the Women’s Division only, ANY
player that is an NCAA rostered player may not participate in the ACHA Women’s
Division during the same season.
This rule applies to any NCAA player regardless of whether or not the
NCAA and ACHA programs exist at the same institution. An NCAA rostered player is
defined as any player who is listed on the eligibility list files with the NCAA
or their respective league for that season, regardless of whether or not the
player participated in any games or was listed on any game sheet. Players who
are red-shirted shall also be included in this rule. And IV, Paragraph D, 4, b
b.
Women’s
Division student athletes shall be limited to six (6) years of eligibility. If,
however, the student athlete was on an NCAA roster at any level, at any time,
the student athlete is restricted to four (4) years of ACHA Division III play,
minus his time with the prior NCAA program.
CHANGE
TO:
(Add
the following to player eligibility rule: In Addition to the rule that pertains
to the players having played at the NCAA level, include players from the three
major Canadian University systems in that rule. So any player that has
played for an NCAA and/or a CIAU program is limited to four years ACHA
eligibility, minus the time spent at the NCAA/CIAU level.) Plus, add the words
“ice hockey” to clarify that this pertains to NCAA/CIAU ice hockey and not other
sports. And, change “his” to “her.”
