I watch a fair amount of Big Ten Hockey and the level of hockey on average JMO is not on the same "over all" level as the CHL.
I'm not saying there isn't pockets of talent in the NCAA but it is definately a more sloppy and less physically taxing style of hockey.
There are some very skilled NCAA players but not to the same amount as in the CHL.
