Look at the last WHL Draft, probably 75% chosen are sport schools. Nine of the top ten are CSSHL.

Its all a pyramid scheme though, the top 3 kids on every team are funded by the rest of the team's parents. I bet Bedard hasn't had to pay a cent for hockey in the past 5 years and probably longer.
Yikes, you hope it’s not true but sadly it probably is.
