Calgary forfeits six U Sports hockey games due to ineligible player
EDMONTON –The University of Calgary’s men’s hockey program has forfeited six of its conference games during the 2017-18 season, Canada West announced Thursday.
Calgary will forfeit games played on Oct. 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, and 21 after the Dinos self-disclosed an ineligible player.
The eligibility issue was submitted by the Dinos earlier this month to U Sports after Calgary discovered a student-athlete did not meet U Sports eligibility regulations.
