@BenLypka Ben you have been continuously wrong about your reporting around the BCHL for years now. Maybe just sit things out when you don’t know wtf you’re talking about?
@TPS_Guy Man these comments are hilarious. This has been happening to other junior leagues forever (even more so now with the NCAA rule change). Now that it’s happening to the CHL it’s an outrage and a tragedy!
@Scotiaboy2@TheWHL@PentictonVees@City_Chilliwack@TheAJHL@BCHockeyLeague lol they’re losing one team. Tough blow but far from a death blow. Also do you really think these Alberta teams would be better of in the AJ? We saw this year that when BCHL players get poached from other leagues, they grab new ones from CJHL teams. The AJ is miles behind the BC
@DaveDawson7@TragicallyPisd lol why would they put this in a press release. Did the AJHL put “we are losing players and now franchises because our league has fallen way behind” in their releases?
@TragicallyPisd@DaveDawson7 How would they be better off playing in an inferior league like the AJ? This def hurts the BCHL but the league is still 10x better than Alberta. These teams left for a reason.
@justBlakePrice@arpan_on_BC lol this could not be further from the truth. Everyone knew that rule change was coming. Was unavoidable that it would damage the league. They’re in a way better place outside of hockey Canada than if they were still under it.
Talk of the BCHL being finished if Penticton and Chilliwack join the WHL is ridiculous.
A league that's over 60 years old won't fold because two teams leave - even if they are "premier" franchises. It will simply adapt.
@arpan_on_BC lol how tf does this mean the league will be done soon? Def a blow to lose them but there are 20 other teams and a ton of other good programs
@Kfortch@BCHockeyLeague@BrooksBandits Also publicly calling out a 20 year old for making a decision in his best interest is a BAD look. Where was the energy for other guys that leave their teams mid season for a better situation?
@Kfortch@BCHockeyLeague@BrooksBandits LOL my man was celebrating players leaving the BCHL to the CHL for the past few weeks but gets upset when they replace those players. Wtf did you think would happen?
