"83 current and former BCHL players attend 2025 NHL Development Camps BCHL League Site".
To me this appears to be overstated, the list of players attending Development Camps has mostly "former" BCHL players and actually very few "current" BCHL players.
Edited by vipersdiehardfan
“mostly former…few current” …. so the header is still correct.
"83 current and former BCHL players" is EXACTLY what the BCHL states. Of this list there are really only 2 players who played BCHL last year and could return, thus be considered "current" players, Marleau from Powell River and Gatto from Chilliwack. All the other young players have finished in the BCHL and have headed off to their university commitments. 60+ of these players have already aged out of BCHL eligibility and have been playing elsewhere the past few years.
The point of the original comment was not to do a deep dive on the accounting, rather just to say that "in my opinion the BCHL overstated this press release". It sounds to me that they are spinning it to appear like they are responsible for developing these players from the NHL camps? The vast majority of these players spent only a year in our league, hardly long enough for the BCHL to have much of an impact on them. Those are the facts.
