Not sure why Comley is open to the possibility of having this guy back on his team. Although I think dropping out is a likely indication that Conboy has no intention of coming back. Good luck toiling in some minor league dude.

The fallout from this is crazy. One minute, your a starter on the team, the next, you are gone from the team and the school. I am just saying that this whole thing, including the incident, is crazy to watch as an outsider. Like watching a train wreck.

He's transferring, isn't he?

The thing about college hockey is that it is not the only feeder program for the pros like Football or Basketball. I dont have a solid scouting report on Conboy or know his age, but there are a lot of other playing options he has.
School is just not that important to a large majority of even college hockey players.
Conboy could go to major jr. in Canada if he is still young enough (20 or under); he is property of the Candadiens and could sign and be assigned to one of its farm teams (AHL or ECHL) or he could look to play in a lower tier pro league like the UHauL as indepdent (with Montreal still owning his rights). In short, leaving school is not a death knell to his playing career like it would be for a football or basketball player.

I might have missed something either in the news, or already mentioned, but is Kampfer the one that got into it with Milano (the now-defunct fullback)? Is that how/why he had the previous injury?

Bingo.

Sounds to me like he took the easy way out, almost like he was looking for a reason to get the hell out of there. And he found it.
Good riddance. And, given his obvious lack of actual talent, good luck finding work in this economy.

I know he's supposed to be "evil", but I'd love to see him beat your ass.
