They do love the collegians, but it’s good to see that they recognize that quality players do exist in the CHL. In fact, this may be an all-time high for number of players on Team USA that toil in the CHL.

i find this quote to be so un-educated as to be laughable….quality playersDO exist in the CHL???? only the BEST players in this age group come from the CHL, the fact that there are not that many playing for CHL teams speaks more for the lack of talent comming from the south than it does to the quality of players in the WHL, OHL, QMJHL and others…its like when a canadian makes it in the NFL…its a badge of honor, so maybe you need to learn a bit about the hockey up here before you judge our CHL…cheers and happy new year
