Minnesota Made Makes Minnesota Hockey Cry Uncle

The latest edition of Let's Play Hockey sports news of the conclusion of the Minnesota Made vs Minnesota Hockey antitrust lawsuit:

An out of court settlement has been reached between Minnesota Made Hockey Inc. and Minnesota Hockey Inc., ending a dispute over a rule which allowed players to participate in only one hockey league at a time. The rule, which was put in place for the 2010-11 season in Minnesota Hockey District 6, prohibited players from participating on two competitive teams at the same time.

Minnesota Made claimed that the rule was a violation of antitrust laws and commenced a lawsuit against Minnesota Hockey in September 2010. The District 6 rule has since been replaced by a Minnesota Hockey player commitment rule which provides teams and local assocations with the authority to address, in a non-disciminatory manner, players missing team activities. The new commitment rule allows players to participate in multiple hockey programs.

Total. Victory.

What are the chances that AHAI's two choice rule would stand up to a similar challenge?
