He (and any other player in American universities/colleges) can't attend the camp due to NCAA rules. Well...actually he can, but he'd have to pay his own way.

Blame the NCAA for that (and all the world's problems ). It basically goes like this. If he chose to come to Canucks training camp with the team paying his way, then he loses his eligibility to play with his college team. So long as a player is playing in the NCAA, he can't get paid by outside interests. That's the reason players from the WHL (with very, very, very rare exceptions) can't play in the NCAA, as the (small) amount of money they or their billets receive is considered the equivalent of getting paid by the team.

As I said above, Schneider could come to Canucks training camp, but he'd have to pay his own way, and...let's face it, when you're already paying college fees in five or six digits (depending on the program), the last thing you can probably afford is to try out at an NHL training camp with no guarantees of making it.

It was only one game. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and see how he does in this year's World Juniors (since he'll likely be the starter for the U.S.).

...and now we can verify that Fed Fed's in the building!
