This is a bit random but I was wondering if anyone knows why doesn’t the CHL track time on ice?

Not sure why they don't release it, but I'm sure the teams track it. I know the Knights do for sure.
Imagine agents and overbearing hockey parents knowing exactly how much ice time thier kids are getting in relation to others. It would be a bloodbath

Aside from it being publicized..if you watch the game your kid or the player you're representing plays in..you don't need a calculator to see how much ice time little Joey gets

Hahaha fair. I've yet to see a parent with a stopwatch recording shifts though. Probably will one day.
I remember it well
Sorta agree...1919 ‘Black Sox ‘ scandal was criminal(to this day lots of debate about it).
Tanking to improve playoff/draft position, I believe, is just stupid. JMO
I agree. But from a fan standpoint I’d be interested to see the time on ice totals from teams/players that I don’t see play too often (guys like Byfield, Drysdale and Merkley etc)
TOI is tracked by each team individually. Don't think it will ever be released.
Players are playing upwards of 30 a night with some less than 4.
Some insight here as to why some games haven't been on Rogers.
OHL This Week: CRTC whistles down Rogers' attempted deke around broadcasting rules
Access programming, of course, is important content that allows all kinds of different voices in the community to be heard and given a fair shake at producing their own show. Much of it looks like it is being broadcast from someone’s basement.
Rogers argued the OHL itself requested access and that each of the seven teams in its territories has editorial control of the programming aired on its community channels. Thus, it should carry on the designation as access program.
No dice, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ruled in August — a month before the start of the 2018-19 season.
At its root, the problem is the OHL broadcasts are a little too jazzy. They are considered generally complex entities and involve partnerships between teams and TV stations, meaning there’s no way one member of the community could be responsible for the required degree of creative control.
They can qualify as local programming, the CRTC explained, but certainly not the access variety. This was a clear licensee relationship.
So the penalty, if you want to call it that, turned into a cap on the number of games Rogers TV has been able to broadcast.
That’s why fans of, for example, the London Knights and North Bay Battalion tuned in last Sunday afternoon and saw a broadcast not featuring the usual Rogers offering, but a different one brought to them by Fanshawe College.
In a way, it was a positive. How else would students trying to learn the TV craft get this kind of on-the-job experience that will serve them well in the future?
And besides, if it weren’t for the college, the game would have aired as an in-house Knights production with a camera, or maybe two angles. That’s not the broadcast the paying cable customer has come to expect.
There were about 20 games across the seven Rogers markets that ended up being cut or offered by another entity because of these new stipulations. The biggest loser — insert head shake here — was Ottawa in a season where the 67’s are one of the country’s best and the NHL’s Senators are barely worth watching anymore.
In London, everybody lucked out when Sportsnet picked up a few of the Knights tilts for its weekly national broadcast. It’s a real benefit when you have good TV optics — a nice rink with 9,000 fans and situated rather close to Toronto.

London Knights aim for three-game weekend sweep
Ryan Pyette
Updated: February 28, 2019
There is really just one option left.
The Knights have to board the bus Friday for Kitchener looking to trigger a weekend sweep.
London must win all three of these road games — against the Rangers, Hamilton and Erie — or the race for first place in the OHL’s Western Conference will be decided in the final week of the season.
“We know we can play better than this,” GM Mark Hunter said. “You can say it and you can talk about it all you want, but you have to do it.”
The Knights need the six points against these non-contenders because of the inconsistent way they shuffled through February with a 7-5-1 record. They have to win now because the final week of the season offers zero guarantees.
Hunter’s advice, though, is to stop looking ahead.
“We’ve got to focus on the moment and get our game back, shift by shift and period by period,” he said. “We have to get back to the moment and play the way we’re capable of and winning more battles.
“We have to play the right way.”

William Lochead: To Be or Not To Be
The league is still mulling over Will Lochead’s big hit on Guelph d-man Dmitri Samorukov Tuesday. The Knights rearguard was assessed a five-minute major for a head check and ejected, but if you watch the available replays frame by frame, it’s still difficult to see whether head contact occurred.
It also should work to Lochead’s favour that Samorukov played the following night in Erie and was named the game’s first star.
A couple of weeks ago, Samorukov drilled Knights forward Paul Cotter with a check London felt was shoulder-to-head. The common ground in both incidents was players being caught with their heads down.
The Knights just finished playing five games through a Lochead suspension. They are a better group with him in the lineup.
“He’s an important part of this team,” Mark Hunter said. “We don’t want to lose him.”

For those interested, Popov with a goal and assist for the Attack last night, and 3 goals, 5 pts in his last four games. Parrott with a goal and assist last night.
Both are welcomed additions to the team . Popov is getting top line minutes, Perrott a regular on the blue line, and some PK and pp time.
