If it's not supposed to be about money at this level then perhaps the league and the teams in it should be run as a non profit organization......
The World Junior Championships made 22 million dollars PROFIT when they were played in Alberta.
That buys a lot of sticks and ice time.
If the owners are in it to make money, the players should share in that profit. You don't think that's fair?
If the CHL didn't exist, the OPPORTUNITY to play hockey would still exist.
Perhaps more players would go to college where they also get free equipment/room and board and a $50,000 education.
