Found this on the USCHO forum. Very interesting read on the reality of NCAA vs. OHL education packages. You'll recognize a name listed in the article!!

FF thanks for thr information, I did know that.
I talked to Coach Schutte after the HOGO. For a young Canadian hockey player in Toronto,
Ottawa, London there is good strong junior hockey in the OJHL or COJHL.
To the young player from The Soo, Thunder Bay, or Sudbury the options are limited, the quality of competition is not there.
They either have to play "back east" or out west or play in the OHL.
I did not realize that in the USHL only 2 imports ( Canadians) can be on a roster.
A 16 year old can play in Salmon Arm or Markham, and then on to the big time at BGSU at age 19 or 20; or he can go OHL at age 17. Interesting dilemma.
