I'd like to think I understand the different routes fairly well, but its not a story I"ve been following. I watched the video and I found it as a pretty vague 6 minutes

essentially although there were still be roster minimum on BC players this allows the BCHL to 'poach/accept' kids under 18 from across the country and internationally ? is that the main crux of it (plus maybe a few more showcase events?)

if so I guess if AJHL etc do not follow suit it seems this will be a one way siphon of talent (of the younger players?)
