The age old battle of CHL vs. NCAA
Alexander Monaghan gives his take on the difference between the Canadian Juniors and College Hockey and how they are evaluated by NHL clubs and the players themselves.
NCAA hockey has had better days. This past week, a few of their top young players fled for the CHL which sadly is a trend that often hurts programs across the nation. Couple that with losing one of their top players, Jerry D’Amigo of RPI, to a professional contract and the depth gets worse.
