    For me being 19 years old and playing junior A this year. NCAA D1 would be my path only because I can play from 20-24 + get a degree on the side. A lot of life skills can be learned going the NCAA route as well, time management being the most important...

    The answer is it depends. If you’re a 3rd-7th rounder and you’re not going to be in the NHL for 3+ years then college is the best path. We see players like Adam Guadette and Dylan Sikura who go late in the draft and highly benefit from spending time in college and coming to the NHL when they’re ready. This because you’re playing against tougher competition which can really build your game. Basically if you’re a late rounder or a late bloomer college is the best by far. Although if you’re an early rounder and you believe you can play within 2 years then the CHL is the best. The CHL is made to feed the NHL. The CHL works with the NHL to feed them top talent. The CHL has a lot of games and is a lot like playing pro-hockey so the transition to the NHL is easier.

      I live in Canada too, but I'd have to say NCAA. It's growing a lot and more players are coming out of NCAA each year now. I had multiple WHL/Chl teams try to sign me from age 16-19 before I went to play NCAA. At the time I wanted to sign but was strongly advised to go the NCAA route. That was the best decision I ever made. The level of hockey is faster and stronger than junior hockey, and many of the schools have electric atmospheres. Playing in front of thousands of your classmates every game or going into other teams barns and getting absolutely roasted by their student sections is like no other experience in hockey.

    Thanks for this video! As a Norwegian hockey fan I'm always curious to find out how hockey works in North America, especially JR hockey. One of our countries top prospects Mathias Emilio Pettersen is going to play in the NCAA (Denver College) this upcoming season. He was signed to go there when he was only 13-14 years old. When he was 10, he had one of the most popular prospect videos on youtube. He got drafted in the 6th round by the Calgary Flames this summer. He didn't have his best days in the USHL league which explains his late pick, but I know he is a hard worker and he is doing great so far in this years summer camp with the Flames. I'm hoping he can get solid stats with Denver College and become the next Norwegian in the NHL. So far we only have two (Mats Zuccarello and Andreas Martinsen).

So until the NCAA adds about ten to fifteen more D1 programs competition to make these teams even w scholarships is intense!

Also some players that don't make it to the NHl by 20 from the CHL go play in the States.

    I feel if a kid has a lot of talent and is a sure fire 1st round talent the chl is a great option, but if they seem to be lower in the draft rankings at 15 and 16 the ncaa might be the better choice. The extra years to grow seem to benefit the late round picks. Johnny hockey is a perfect example. A 4th round pick that needed time to mature in college. While he had all the talent in the world he was really small his draft year. While he is no beast size wise playing against the bigger older competition helped him adapt to the pro style bodies he was going to be playing against.

    CHL is way better opportunity then College. First scouts most of the time pay attention to the CHL. Second the CHL offers players scholarships for college and pay for everything. Third, there are more successful (hockey wise) former CHL players than NCAA. Plus the CHL let's hockey players play real hockey which involves fights and not the NCAA making the men play almost women's hockey rules. One big thing though that the NCAA has over the CHL is that fact that on paper it's a easier transition to the pro game with playing against grown ass men.

    @delaneygunn7749 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    NCAA is the route I would take. If you are talented enough to get into a relatively good hockey school, the facilities will be better, the training is better, way more practice time compared to game time, and potentially a longer development time. Not to mention getting a great education. Also, I would better control my destiny. EXAMPLE: Matt Read. Played for Bemidji state. He turned down pro offers and kept going back to school until he eventually got the offer he wanted from Philadelphia. Was a great decision by him to enter free agency. You could also do what Adam Fox did: Drafted by the Flames, didn't want to play for them (and told them as much) kept electing to go back to Harvard and continue to develop and play at a high level until the Flames finally traded him to Carolina in that Hamilton trade.
    In regards to the CHL, they definitely get more support from the NHL, and that has more to do with the NCAA rules in regards to putting money in Hockey Programs. There was a decision made maybe ten to fifteen years ago that allowed the NHL to pay a "buffer company" that represented the NCAA so that they could better advertise the NCAA game globally, and put more money legally into hockey programs. You can actually see when the NCAA implemented this plan, and the uptick in quality hockey players coming out of NCAA. But for a long time the NHL was investing hundreds of millions of dollars into the CHL and only a couple hundred grand into the NCAA. When that started to change, the NCAA programs really started to take off.
    The games vs practice time is a debate I love having with people. While a 68 game schedule prepares kids for the pro grind, in my opinion, it also creates horrible habits from over playing, being tired, and over worked. With less practice time you can't fix the little details, or pound home certain things (IE: a forecheck) when you play like 3-4 games a week and practice maybe twice. And those practices suck because the guys are so tired. I can tell you from experience that the higher the level you play, it's the small details that matter, knowing your role and having your play be reactionary through repetition. And that knowledge is gained, again in my opinion, more through practice than through game experience. It's also been my experience that if I were to try to compare the typical player that comes out of each league, I would say that the CHL player tends to have more skill set/ natural talent. But the NCAA player is more professional, more ready for practice, and being in the weight room and dedicating themselves to getting better.
    Another thing to look at is the way CHL players are treated. For instance, this past year saw the WHL with the most trades ever at the trade deadline and it was celebrated by a lot of people heavily involved in the WHL for how exciting it was and how it was good for the league... And I sat there and was horrified by it because these are 16-19 year old kids having to up route their lives and move. Some kids might go from being in Everett Washington to Swift Current Saskatchewan in a night, it's a huge culture shock. Not to mention, some kids get traded multiple times in a career, that's hard on a teenagers psyche. I know kids who've been moved upwards of a half a dozen times in their five year CHL career. That's not easy with hockey, school, or just plain ol' growing up. But some people will also tell you it's part of the preparation of pro hockey. I worked with a guy who had a great five year career in the WHL, and he would not let his little brother play in the WHL behind him. Said the WHL was too much of a meat grinder to kids. Told him to go to NCAA if he could instead. While I believe the CHL does a great job with their scholarship money, by the time the over-age players are able to take advantage of it, they have been brainwashed by the idea that they are "PRO" ready and often choose ECHL deals over the scholarship. If you don't use your scholarship within two years of you finishing your CHL career, you become ineligible for it.
    It's an interesting debate, but if my fake son is ever good enough that NCAA programs and CHL teams come knocking at our door, I will be more apt to send my kid to the NCAA. If it turns out that school is too hard, or for whatever reason we felt his development would be better in a CHL enviroment, it is a whole lot easier to go from NCAA to CHL... Due to NCAA rules, it is extremely hard to play in the CHL then try to transfer to an NCAA program. Just this week there is a kid whose done it with UND, but it seems as though he is an exception to the rule.

    The beauty of hockey is that you can be drafted 18. Similar to other European models. They should promote the lower level teams as school should not be so intertwined with sport...

    NCAA all the way, gives you time to mature mentally and physically. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to choose between them, pick the best path for you. As for me, I would pick the college route

    I guess it depends on who's perspective you're talking about. If I'm a team looking for the best talent I'm going CHL 100% but if I'm a young player deciding between the two the NCAA might be more appealing because you get an education and if you don't like the team that drafted you then you can play out your college career then sign wherever as a free agent when you're done

    The highest skilled players are from the CHL, McDavid, Stamkos, Crosby, Tavares etc. However, those were all picked 1st overall. 3-7th rounders you have a much better bet of picking a player from the NCAA than other leagues. Also, you'll find stronger players come from the NCAA, Boser, Eichel, Towes Werenski. Top 3 Picks CHL sure. But I'll take my Walhstrom Keller Werenski picks 4-30

    NCAA is a marriage between athletics and education. There's only so much athletic scholarship to go around. University's like to be able to award academic scholarships alongside the athletic scholarships. It depends on how much education is prioritized. If they don't want to study anything then CHL is better. In the really rare case that you are in the top 15, then it doesn't matter and you'll be found/drafted no matter where you play. The CHL will allow you tryout for your NHL team without losing eligibility (rare senario).

  • @evandest1983

    Another advantage for the NCAA is that players can jump from college to AHL if their NHL team thinks they're ready. In the CHL they can't do that only go directly in the NHL.

  • @Rob-vc6xw
    @Rob-vc6xw ปีที่แล้ว

    I am just coming across this video now, 4 years late, so forgive me for that. Just to defend the CHL on education, they provide 1 free year of post secondary education, for each year played in the CHL. So if you play 3 years in the CHL you get 3 years free to any college/university/trade school you attend, if you do not sign a pro contract with a team, that includes pro teams in Europe or low level pro teams in North America.
    So that was left out of this video, not sure why that is a well known fact about the CHL and I personally know people who got free university as a result of this system. Also, if you play in CHL chances are that someone will give you a job based on that and you will have tons of good connections and be able to use those to get a job doing something outside hockey, I also have seen this happen.
    So nothing perfect, but the CHL should get points for providing its players who do not turn their JR careers into pro careers a chance at education.

  • @poonking3628
    @poonking3628 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I would choose the NCAA if I were a prospect, but as a GM I would rather be choosing from the CHL. My reasons behind this are that as a prospect I do think education is an important thing, because not everybody is gonna be a “generational talent” also what if u get hurt, you’ll need something to fall back on and getting an education and degree helps w that. As a GM I would want the CHL because this way u get more time to have ur prospect on ur team to help build towards championships and some NCAA prospects like to play all 4 years, and sometimes don’t even sign w their respective teams. See Kevin Hayes and Jimmy Vesey.

      dilution of talent. There is about ten times as many major junior teams as there are serious University programs, only a fourth of the Division ones teams have the staff and coaches to develope talent. A lot of Div 2 and Div 3 programs are being preserved in the South and Bible belt because enough North Eastern, and Minnesota boys end up going there for college, and find they are able to walk on when they had no chance in hell of making the team. I saw a Div. 3 game between Citadel and Alabama(the flagship university) in 2011/2012 I am wholly convinced would have been slaughter by an average High School team in Minnesota, Michigan, or Maine.

    The top NCAA team vs the top CHL team would be a great match up but the NCAA players are bigger, stronger, and older. If I were a GM I would rather take the kid out of college due to the maturity levels. 23-24 vs 19-20 year old is a huge jump. But that’s just my opinion. Either way it’s great hockey and that’s all that really matters.

    D1 hockey has very little hitting and rough housery when I watch. CHL has more of that. D1 has no fighting at all. CHL does. What is point of being stronger and older if can’t fight and bang each other up? But D1 has fantastic football funded facilities. I went to college and the food is great. CHL depends on billet families to feed them. Only I lived in Quebec for their food.
