Canadian university has changed completely since the scholarship program was introduced. Almost every player now is ex CHL. I guess in that sense they are not developing players at a young age but the overall talent level is certainly higher than it was. Players are older, bigger, and stronger.

There is a lot of flaws with the scholarship program, specifically that is it a capped scholarship.

The CHL (Canadian Hockey League) scholarship program is capped. Each CHL league (WHL, OHL, and QMJHL) has its own specific scholarship structure, but all involve a limited number of scholarships and/or a limited duration for which the scholarship is available. For example, the QMJHL provides a maximum of six scholarships per semester, with each scholarship equivalent to half of the annual school fees plus $800, up to a maximum of $2500 per semester.
