    2. Although I'm old and have followed hockey for a long long time, I thought NHL ELC contracts became effective for payment only once the player started playing professionally: i.e. NHL or AHL. I wasn't aware that the signature on the contract restricted a player from playing NCAA. I would've thought a guy could still play NCAA hockey so long as he isn't getting paid. (i.e. Contract/$$$ delayed).

    I really care a lot about actual on-ice hockey. Talking about it. Extending it to fantasy.
    But the rules of contracts... definitely not something I have or ever will care excessively about.
    Yeah - the contract means you are playing. You agree to play, they agree to pay you. No delays in contract starts.

    This is completely true, and the unfairness of the NCAA profiting off of the athlete's likenesses in video games which is causing lawsuits.

    It's not just major sports. For a while, players would use assumed names in semi-pro baseball to not screw up football and other sports, especially if scholarships were involved.
