So if the CHL is really serious about forming some kind of partnership with the NCAA(stick with me here), and because I’m still amazed at the amount of confusion that I see over this, I decided it would be wise to trudge my way through the NCAA’s Division I manual, specifically through Bylaw 12, which deals with amateurism to see just how much distance there is.
In an unnecessarily long 444-page tome filled with all sorts of confusing lawyer language(“final non-certified certification”) the NCAA is remarkably clear on the CHL, giving it it’s own sub-sub-sub-sub-section:
12.2.3.2.4 Major Junior A Ice Hockey.
