CHL/NCAA

That account also doesn't understand what a commitment means.

Good point
Ty Meunier - 26/27 commitment
Cooper Williams - 27/28 commitment

I believe the number is around 33% of NCAA commitments in Hockey actually go on to play NCAA hockey.
That BCHL account is so sour about his league turning to shit that he spends almost all of his time bashing CHL.

How does one go to the NCAA in their 17 year old season? Fast track high school while playing WHL hockey? Hmmmmm...

You can take online AP courses now which helps a lot.

Getting the schooling done if probably the easy part. The hard part is getting ice time as a 17 year old. It's not done often but someone of Verhoeff's caliber should be fine.

100 percent. i remember a kid that was a top 10 pick but fell to the second round and then came to the ohl at 17 after the school he committed too told him he wasnt going to get anything other then 4th line minutes.

people dont get how hard it is to play at that level and how much schools do not want to babysit and develop kids. they want 20 years olds unless your a martone or misa.

Another thing not mentioned here is the living arrangements in College. No Billet families for the 17 yr old kids. They are in dorms or finding their own place. Not sure many parents want their 16/17 yr old living in a dorm with older students?
