Regina Pats forward Braxton Whitehead verbally commits to NCAA Division I hockey at Arizona State for 2025-26, possibly changing NCAA eligibility for major junior players.
Braxton Whitehead, a forward for the Regina Pats in the WHL, has verbally committed to play NCAA Division I hockey at Arizona State University starting in the 2025-26 season. He is the first major junior player to do so despite NCAA rules generally barring such players from college hockey. A class-action lawsuit challenging these regulations could potentially change eligibility for WHL, OHL, and QMJHL players in the NCAA.
