NCAA to allow CHL players to play hockey?

[MeHateHe]

The vast majority of CHL teams lose hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars annually and are not profitable, this isnt an issue unique to either of those 2 teams.

I'd like to see some evidence of this.

This is probably outdated as the article is from 2017, but by the CHLs own admission on their own site (citing their research in response to a litigation suit, sadly attached file links with research and sources seem to be lost):

"KMPG found that if you removed the two most profitable franchises as outliers, the remaining 40 OHL and WHL clubs lose, on average, $75,000"

&

"The majority of our member clubs either break even or lose money on an annual basis"

Since that time, weve faced a global pandemic and a bunch of other crazy shit that absolutely wrecked the international economy everywhere and thats before even bringing up the rises in costs of facilitating ice hockey. Equipment, facilities, utility bills and ice time have all increased in costs and are only getting more expensive.

To clarify, Dreger says that the years of eligibility are only for players that went to Canadian University, not the years in the CHL.

So if a player has spent two years in Canadian University, he'd only be eligible to two years in the NCAA.

My interpretation of his comment was players who play in USports lose one year of NCAA eligibility per year they play in USports, not the CHL.

"If that graduated Major Junior player is playing USports, and he's in his second year, well that's two years of eligibility that now gets removed. That means that player only has two more years of college eligibility in the NCAA."

That makes a lot more sense.
