When the NCAA decided to allow CHL players to compete at the Div. I level, it reshaped the North American hockey development landscape.

For decades, CHL players were effectively barred from the NCAA, leaving USports as the primary post-major junior destination for many Canadian players who could not yet play pro hockey.

Now, more than a year removed from the decision and with a full season played under its effects, the dust has begun to settle, revealing a more complex and less one-sided impact than many initially expected on USports hockey.
