Kids signing contracts and their rights away at 15 years old, expected to move away from home has been a mainstay of major junior hockey. NCAA rights thrown out the window the moment they touch the pen to paper. Moving away from home during formative years, away from friends and family having to deal with school and being a professional athlete. With everything that has surfaced in the CHL and NHL in recent years, the hazing, psychological, emotional and physical abuse etc, is it time for change?

If the kid wants to play for who ever don’t sign the contract…..
americans are too soft to play hockey is what this lawsuit says.
Bunch of baby shits.
Americans = a 13 year old rape victim should be forced to have a baby.
Also Americans = 15 year old’s are too young to know if they want to play hockey
Give your balls a tug titfucker
Nope, you have the wrong take. We need to professional minor leagues, like in Europe with soccer.
Take sports OUT of schools.
If the NCAA has issues with it, they could you know just let them play. They’re the ones excluding them
What divas. So many kids would kill to play in the CHL.
You’re talking about the same NCAA that has historically went out of their way to exploit athletes for decades under the guise of “amateur eligibility” while raking in billions for themselves right? Just want to make sure.
I would never try to argue that junior hockey doesn’t have its issues and there’s a massive need for change and improvement. But maybe you might google a few names (Nassar, Sandusky, Strauss, Anderson, just to list a few) before holding the NCAA up as some shining beacon of virtue and righteousness.
Isn’t the CHL a Canadian hockey league? Why is an American lawsuit happening? Do they have teams in America?
Wow, this is dumb! The NCAA throwing stones from their glass house…
