This is definitely true, but it's a bit more than that too.
In 2010, all 4 NCAA players invited did not have their NCAA team named when Hockey Canada announced the 39 man WJ tryout roster.
Obviously Hockey Canada can, will and should promote the CHL over NCAA - but it 's petty to omit a player's current team, and I am pretty sure that never happened since.
