What an NCAA rule change might mean for junior hockey in Sask.

Previously, WHL players were declared ineligible to play NCAA hockey in the U.S.
The owner of a Saskatoon wheel alignment and repair shop says he expects a few unlucky drivers will come through his doors in the next few weeks.
Shane Arthurs of Jerry’s J&L Frame and Alignment said it’s coming into one of his busier times of the year with the spring crop of potholes starting to peek through the melting snow on city streets.
“Looking at some of them, they’re so deep it’s not even funny,” he said Monday.
Arthurs said hitting a large pothole at speed is often a surefire way to need his services.
“You’re not saving it,” he said. “Once you hit that pothole, you’ll knock your alignment out. Sometimes you even bend the lower control arm, bend a ball joint.”
SGI spokesman Tyler McMurchy said drivers are usually not found at fault in the majority of cases of pothole damage.
“In this case, the driver is still responsible for the deductible because it is a single-vehicle accident but they won’t receive any demerit points on their licence,” he said.
McMurchy said drivers who are going too fast for conditions or who are found not to have been paying attention could also get six demerits on their licence.
