I think we vastly overrate the number of kids that chase their dream and would have gone to school but never do versus those that chase their dream in the ECHL and likely never would have gone to school anyways.
There certainly is an argument that the CHL scholarship program could work better but going the CHL route is far from a guaranteed future of flipping burgers when you’re done. If you have a real interest in a post secondary Education after hockey there is nothing that prevents that from happening and many advantages those kids have versus not going to the CHL.
