bchl is still lot better league than nahl - chl not calling up any nahl kids lol . bchl to remain relevant just needs to get younger and be a feeder for the CHL — nothing wrong with that because nahl has made itself irrelevant in the USAThe BCHL put this up on their website late Friday.

They flagged this in a Facebook post, to which they have subsequently limited replies. That is not a thing you do when people react well to a thing.
Saying that less than 4% of the players have left is an interesting framing. That’s a player on average from each team. No, it doesn’t debilitate the league, but it’s a bright red flashing light that tells the players there’s an off-ramp.
They say they’re committed to eliminating player fees next year, which will surely attract some players. I wonder if some of the clubs that don’t draw well will be able to afford that.
The player pool for whom it makes sense to choose the BCHL above other leagues has been impacted and they are eliminating a stream of revenue to find them. Defensive statements (aimed at who exactly?) don’t instill a ton of confidence in potential recruits.
NOT irrelevant to the many players who gain scholarships to U.S. colleges.

Are they going to put teams in cities that have USHL teams or try to pull in already existing USHL teams?The impression I got from his statement was that SOME people want more than 2 right away. The plan might be for 4 down the road but will probably start with 2. Muskegon, Youngstown now. Toronto and Belleville would be a good 5 year goal to get to 24.
Also yes I know Toronto is a stupid idea but the commish has said himself he wants a team there.
Yeah. Penticton is close enough to Kelowna that such a move would cost the Rockets from a public/media standpoint and from a corporate partnership standpoint. Their owner just happens to be the chair of the WHL board, so if they raise objections, it’s a good bet the move doesn’t happen. But there is a lot of antipathy between the two leagues and you could see the WHL swallowing Penticton just out of spite.Some chatter about Penticton (BCHL Flagship franchise) being accepted into the Dub. We'll see.
agree - i think nahl will be basically turn into NCDC . My view u-18 in usa will become more irrelevant . If nahl was smart they would put in age limit of 5 20 year old and a minimum of 4 rookie or age 17 kids to diversify their rosters . If Nahl remains sn old league - div 3 feeder they will have zero div 1 commits in 2 years . Their is not one kid whose dream is to play div 3. Every kid wants a shot at Div 1 and div 3 is a default . Div 3 is great hockey but thats a reality .Some chatter about Penticton (BCHL Flagship franchise) being accepted into the Dub. We'll see.
The NAHL is as relevant as the BCHL currently is to NCAA hockey but yes, most Canadian junior leagues will become feeders to the CHL and to U-Sports while the NAHL most likely will become the dominant feeder to D-III hockey (and still be very relevant btw!).
They are going to take them from the USHL. Those teams already came to the OHL asking to join.Are they going to put teams in cities that have USHL teams or try to pull in already existing USHL teams?
How would any of that work? Sounds lawsuit-ey.
