I was bored this evening so I thought I'd look at recruiting from last year and this year.
This is not scientific; just going by Elite Prospects confirmed.
Jan 1 to May 31 2024, there were approx 119 recruits with 32 from the CHL. 27%
Jan 1 to May 31 2025, there were approx 70 recruits with 7 from the CHL. 10%
Not exact science, but looks like fewer CHL this year than last.
