It's becoming more and more clear that the NHL does not care for the way NCAA hockey runs things. There is some bad blood there and the worst part is the NCAA self imposed rules are the biggest part of the problem. Hockey is a different animal then most other college sports and if they want to stay competitive they need to make some changes. We had a great run of talent through the NCAA the past decade but things seem to be shifting away from the NCAA lately, we still have lots of great palyers/teams but it is a little disturbing to see the NHL slowly turning on the NCAA development path.

I recall bear, you mentioning the NCAA should allow Canandian Jrs players to be allowed to play in college hockey. I'm sure that would help but your gonna lose some players like that either way. In This case it was so late in the off season. Kind of left the Sioux hanging...oh well after he reaffirm his commitment at the NHL draft. I wonder what happen there?

It would be nice at least even things out, right now it's a one way street from NCAA to the CHL with no way to return. You have to believe there are some disgruntled CHL players wishing they had the NCAA route or kids who were forced to decide at 15 or 16 years old and realized they wanted something else.

There have been plenty of stories of kids losing NCAA eligibility because they played in one CHL game or even a preseason game or scrimmage. The NCAA rules these player profession because some of the kids in the CHL have signed profession contracts and because the teams give them a little money to live off of. However when USA picks a pile of NCAA kids to play in the World Jr tournament each year they end up playing the same CHL players with NHL contracts. How does that make any sense.

Danny Kristo is reportedly jumping to the bigs by signing an entry level contract with Montreal.

Ah, just kidding. Drop your heart rate again Sioux fans. Seriously how is that the Sioux can be ranked #3 in the INCH pre-season poll with 6 of their top 7 scorers gone? Guess they usually do very well, but this year I'm suspicious.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
