This past week — Tuesday, January 22nd to be exact — I had the opportunity to go to the CJHL Prospects Game in Okotoks, Alberta. It’s the annual showcase of the best that Canada’s second-highest junior A league has to offer. The CJHL comprises several leagues: the BCHL, AJHL, SJHL, MJHL, SIJHL, NOJHL, OJHL, CCHL, LHJQ, and the MHL (the Maritime Hockey League, not the Russian Junior Hockey League). For many of the players in this league, they weren’t quite good enough at 15 to get into the CHL-level leagues. But for some, this is a deliberate choice to be eligible for college.
