avelanch Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 https://twitter.com/Cspiro15/status/511004325750243328 Just Thatcher Demko wearing a Pittsburgh Penguins hat. of course he is, NCAA rules state he can't receive any gifts from the canucks (including hats and the like) so for a poor college student, i'm not surprised he's wearing one of his old hats.

So college players can't wear the logo of the team they have been drafted too, but are free to wear ones for other teams? A bit of a weird rule...

If i'm not mistaken that has more to do with the schools are not allowed to give kids gifts to entice them to enrol in there school. They have no reason to not allow canucks not to give there own player gifts. It would be no different than a company giving a kid a signing bonus before he's graduated.

Knucklehd Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I'm positive a ncaa student cannot accept any gifts from sponsors, alumni etc. I would be shocked if the Canucks did not fall into that category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Demko already has a Canucks hat (and jersey) Unless the Canucks asked for the jersey and hat back after they drafted him?? I highly doubt it.

wshdrvvn Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) If i'm not mistaken that has more to do with the schools are not allowed to give kids gifts to entice them to enrol in there school. They have no reason to not allow canucks not to give there own player gifts. It would be no different than a company giving a kid a signing bonus before he's graduated.Close, but NCAA athletes aren't allowed to accept any sort of gift with monetary value, nor are they allowed to be paid for their likeness (autographs, used jerseys, etc.) As amateur athletes it's against NCAA rules for them to be paid off of what's essentially a raised level of celebrity because of the fact they play for a major university. It's completely different than a signing bonus with a company because Demko doesn't hold an NHL contract. If he signed one tomorrow, he would never be able to get back his NCAA eligibility. This is why NCAA players miss training camp. It's considered a gift from their NHL team to bring them to camp and pay for whatever else teams traditionally pay for during camp. They could technically still come; but they would have to pay their own way. I personally think the rules are completely based in greed on the NCAA's part but as Jared McCann would say, "It is what it is."

Niloc009 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 So college players can't wear the logo of the team they have been drafted too, but are free to wear ones for other teams? A bit of a weird rule... If Demko went out and bought a Canucks hat, he can wear it all be wants. If Vancouver gave Demko a Canucks hat, he can't accept it.

A bit of a weird rule... they can wear whatever they want to buy for themselves. some people just like their old hats. also, just to be clear, my original comment was a joke.

UticaHockey Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Thatcher Demko was in Utica today practicing at the Aud! Before I start any rumors, Boston College stopped in Utica today to practice on their way to Rochester for a game tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derp... Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Oh my that is pretty terribad. Imagine if he picks up another assist? What will they do to catch him? All will be fine though, just NCAA new school year courses schedule etc. Class is probably harder now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Demko with 23 saves with only 1 goal against with 4 mins left in the 2nd against Colorado College who isn't a very good team. Boston College is going to a pretty solid team in years to come with Savage, Santini, McCoshen, Matheson, Tuch and Hanifin all playing there.
