When the subject is the Western Hockey League, we have questions. So many questions.
The QMJHL, one of the three groupings which collectively make up the Canadian Hockey League, has banned fighting. Could the WHL follow suit?
The WHL doesn't currently hold an All-Star Game. Should it?
The WHL sends players each year to the CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game. The format is likely to undergo a radical change. What does that mean to the league?
We found the right person to provide answers. Adam Kierszenblat, who covers the WHL for The Hockey News, joins us for the finale of a three-part conversation in this Kraken Reaction video.
