But IMO it is undeniable how weird the CHL set up is, sending 15 and 16 year olds far away from home to focus on hockey, playing in front of crowds cheering their every move.
Tell me this is the ideal environment for developing responsible young men.

Yep. I can’t think of any other sports where kids are sent away from home at 15-16 to play in what are effectively professional leagues in towns where they’re treated like professional athletes. The whole model of the CHL fosters toxic behaviour.
