If AAA teams in Japan are this good why are there never any players that come over to at least play in CHL? Why are there very few players that end up playing professionally in Europe? Do they all stop playing when they turn 18?
Midget AAA they are what, 15 or 16 years old? Literally just one year later they can come over to play in CHL. Do they all just fall off in one season? They dissapear?
Most players in Quebec who play Midget AAA are talented enough that you see their names come up pretty often. If they don't make NHL, they'll at least be in the conversation in QMJHL, NCAA, USPORTS, ECHL, any European leagues, etc. Where are all the Japanese players?
I'm not trying to discredit, but if they are so good, why arnt NHL teams taking notice? Or KHL, Switzerland, Sweden?
