Per @eliteprospects data:

102 CHL players drafted. That's more than 2x USHL/NCAA/NTDP combined.

Of the 55 USA flagged players drafted, 20 of them played in the CHL last season. This ratio will be higher next draft.

If your goal is to be an NHL pick, the math is very clear.

@JanikBeichler Thanks Janik! Appreciate all that you’ve done for the organization. Been a pleasure working with you, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you..

[George Ross @G_Ross88]

I could not be prouder of our scouting staff for the hard work and dedication in putting together this group of talented players and top-notch people. The future is bright in Spokane.

This one really hurts. Matt was the type of person who made anyone's day better just by crossing paths for a few minutes. He was an outstanding hockey mind, but more importantly an amazing father and friend. Our staff will miss him dearly.

[Western Hockey League @TheWHL]

The Western Hockey League is deeply saddened to learn of the unexpected passing of Matt Davidson, Director of Player Personnel for the @pdxwinterhawks.

Matt was a beloved and highly respected member of hockey’s scouting community and cherished by those lucky enough to have crossed paths with him.
