Re: College Hockey amps up war on Canadian major junior....
No the NCAA players do not get more practice time.....as many of said before, CHL players are on the ice much sooner and end later than the NCAA. Over the course of a year, CHLers practice more as well as play more games.
I think that the NCAA made some notable gains over the past twenty years (I'd like to see a study showing the number of college grads in the NHL in 1990 and compare it to today) but another trend that has developed over the past few years is the number of elite U.S. born talent that is turning its back on the NCAA in favor of the CHL......hence the creation of College Hockey Inc and the possible truce with the CHL.
