High school isn't really a pipeline for ncaa or pro sports in the US outside of football though. There are plenty of high level academies, clubs, etc that can develop elite level athletes in baseball, soccer, golf, etc that require some travel, but don't require taking kids out of high school to go play in the CHL. The CHL is an odd concept.
