The CHL needs to decide whether to pay their players a decent wage or not pay them at all. Right now, you have teams like London, Edmonton, Windsor, and Portland who make millions off players earning hundreds of dollars a month.
If I was the CHL I'd go to a no-pay model. Teams like Val d'Or, Brandon, or Prince George can't absorb a realistic pay model. Furthermore, players should be able to leave the league for NCAA teams after high school. Also it would put pressure on the CHL to improve academic standards and reduce the ridiculous schedule they put 16 and 17 year olds through. As it stands currently, CHL players miss so much class they are so behind their peers. They have to play in the ECHL or lower leagues because hockey is all they know.
