NCAA vs. CHL

[VOB]

Earl averaging 1.3 points a game, Stafford .95. Yes i like Earl better. Seen both play live too.

Well you are in the minority then as most would clearly give the nod to Stafford.

Didn't we already cover this debate about a zillion times???

I'm siding with those who think this thread should be closed. It creates nothing but animosity.

Board Mods, how about it???

The NCAA Champion would soundly beat the Memorial Cup champion, but that is not because the NCAA has better players.

The high end talent in college hockey is distributed between about 8-10 super programs. Michigan, BC, Boston U, Minnesota, UND, Michigan St, Maine, Denver, Wisconsin. I may have forgotten a team or two, but the fact remains, a large majority of the top college recruits end up at one of these schools.

The CHL has 56 teams, and the players are distributed through a pro style draft, where the worst teams are rewarded the best players. So the talent is thinner for team, but the league is more balanced.

So the NCAA would win, but the CHL has better players as a whole.
