The Blackhawks could have more of their prospects playing in junior hockey this coming season.
Jake Wise (Boston University/Hockey East) and Slava Demin (University of Denver/NCHC) are set to start their junior seasons, while Alex Vlasic (BU) is preparing to enter his sophomore campaign and Dominic Basse (Colorado College/NCHC) plans to start his collegiate career. If those conferences or schools decide not to play this coming season amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the trio will be allowed to play in junior hockey during the fall 2020 term, according to the latest NCAA rule changes.
“These student-athletes may compete on an outside team while remaining enrolled in their NCAA institution, which typically would not be allowed,” according to the NCAA.
