As the playoffs continue and the conference finals nearing, I came across this interesting stat in the CHL that really shows how parity across the CHL has played more of factor in then just teams talent.
Looking at the OHL, QMJHL, and WHL playoffs and comparing the final standings this season the standings don't lie on how parity has majorly changed the CHL.
In the OHL eastern conference final
Ottawa (1) with 106 pts in 68 games
Oshawa (3) with 92 pts in 68 games
In the QMJHL conference finals
Rouyn-Noranda (1) with 119 pts in 68 games
Rimouski (3) with 92 pts in 68 games
Halifax (1) with 102 pts in 68 games
Drummondville (2) with 107 pts in 68 games
In the WHL conference finals
Prince Albert (1) 112 pts in 68 games
Edmonton (3) 92 pts in 68 games
Vancouver (1) 101 pts in 68 games
Spokane (3) 87 pts in 68 games
As the stats don't lie the parity across the CHL shows that not also dose it exist more then ever before but that 1st and 3rd place are are key spots in success in the post-season.
This would be an interesting thing to track for the next cycle of seasons to see how much parity truly exists in the CHL especially since the CHL has aligned its games to a 34-34 format for this past season and into the future as the WHL has since dropped 4 games in their schedule to mirror the OHL and QMJHL leagues.
Would be interesting to see over the next few seasons on how the parity across all three leagues will shake out in the post-season results.
Wonder if any other posters have seen this looking back at the regular season standings this year in the CHL and what things are to come for the future??
