Why does everyone always want to change everything?
Each league crowns a champion in a full, multi-round, best of 7 series format.
Then they take the 3 champs, who have all just gone through a full season plus 4 full rounds of playoffs, are bring them together for a tournament.
It makes total sense to have the host included for many reasons already mentioned.
What purpose would a longer tournament serve?
And why on earth would the CHL invite teams from other leagues? The chances that they would be competitive is remote - they are more likely to be significantly better or significantly worse.
It's a great tournament, and a great showcase for the best teams and for some talented kids. Why can't people just enjoy things for what they are?
