But the CHL will continue to grab higher end 16-17-18 year olds as compared to the ushl. And more Americans will go north too. At least until the ushl can beef up what they’re offering (as compared to what CHL teams can offer). 

Agreed. I was trying to say that I’m not sure who will have overall better teams in head to head competition between USHL and CHL if CHL teams lose some of their older players. As we see in college, older teams win

One big difference is the CHL scholarship $.  You get money for school by playing in that league.  Now that you can get a school scholarship from NCAA on top of that, that's a big difference.  USHL does not currently offer that.

Do we think the CHL is going to rip up the Standard Player Agreement and only give you education money if you go to USports, as they don't want to give kids more money who are going to the NCAA?

Thus far they aren't ripping it up, but they are tweaking it downward

James Scantlebury signed a tender with Chicago (ushl)…interesting as he’s Canadian. He used to follow Und…doesn’t anymore for what that’s worth. High end Canadian kid.
