The article discusses the impact of the NCAA/CHL agreement on player commitments following the Memorial Cup, highlighting significant player movement towards NCAA schools. Teams from North Dakota and Providence are signing prospects from the CHL, reflecting a trend that may accelerate as college hockey adapts to new dynamics such as transfer portals and NIL. The shift indicates a changing landscape in junior hockey, as players weigh their options between the CHL and NCAA, considering both financial incentives and career opportunities.
It's a strange new world for the CHL; they tried their damnedest not to lose kids to the AHL and the AHL did their best to accommodate for them, but then the NCAA made it's wacky world of transfer portals, NIL, and semi-expanding list of power teams available to the CHL players.
Hope it goes 7.
Of course; just about everybody is keeping an eye out for what the young McKenna actually ends up doing for his draft year.
Two crazy good teams who may also engage in a little bit of skullduggery and thuggery not because of any reason to on-ice wise. But because they like it.
