- There will likely be opportunities for hockey players to be straight up paid by some schools.
- Those same schools and others will be able to increase the number of scholarships they can offer hockey players.
- On top of that – and the biggest change for the sport as a whole – is CHL players will very likely be able to play NCAA hockey in the near future. This will not be an automatic change based on last week's settlement, though. Either the NCAA will have to willingly drop the current rule or a player(s) will have to challenge the rule in court (which the player(s) will almost certainly win).
