Financial Aid Agreements

Three players from the Quebec Maritime Junior Hockey League, forwards Sam Oliver, Jacob Newcombe, and defenseman Alex Carr and Ontario Hockey League defenseman Nick DeAngelis have signed a Financial Aid Agreement (FAA) with the University of New Hampshire. The FAA has replaced the National Letter of Intent (NLI).

"Student-athletes will now sign an athletic grant-in-aid directly with their college, which is legally binding for one academic year. This replaces the NLI, but the key conditions remain the same – student-athletes are required to honor their commitment to the school, and in turn, the school provides financial aid."Honestgame.com, February 18, 2025

In addition once the FAA is signed coaches from other schools must cease communication with the student-athlete or anyone associated with the signed prospect (e.g., family members, scholastic coach, non-scholastic coach, advisor).
