Minnesota High School Hockey has always been rather immune to the poaching efforts of the CHL because of the community based youth system here and the fact that Minnesota is in WHL territory and there really aren't many teams in close proximity. That hasn't stopped the CHL from trying. Take a look at some of the ridiculous propoganda posted in this thread on the MNHS Hockey boards:
Reason to go to the Dub
I sincerely hope people are educating their kids on the CHL's scholarship program. Roughly 32% of kids who play in the CHL take advantage of that program. And unlike what these clowns would like you to believe, it isn't because 60% of the kids who go thru the CHL make an NHL roster. It's more like 10% and many of those that do still need to fall back on an education when their career is over.
Kids should wait to commit. Leave your options open. NCAA hockey isn't the best fit for every kid, and I'm not saying the CHL is a bad choice, but don't limit your options before you know what is out there.
The education packages are NOT comparable!!
