Yeah, no, there's definitely a lot of teams.

I think, uh, I think the league is still very competitive, but, uh, I think, uh, the days of those superpower teams like Kamloops had, uh,

when they were really successful in that short period of time.

I don't know if that'll happen again.

Yeah.

I mean, you know, coming into the league this year and then seeing,

Kind of the mass accident of players throughout the league, I think it's definitely a change for the CHL.

There's obviously going to be an adjustment period.

I think you might see the league get younger and you'll see some more 16-year-olds that can make an impact in the league.

Hopefully the quality of play will stay the same.

It's going to be tough for teams to continue to keep players with the

the drawing of the change, going to college, playing less games, having more time to train.

That's kind of a selling point for them.

And junior hockey, I think, is still the closest thing to what

the pro level game is.

I think the schedule, the amount of games you play, the similarities in playing 14, 15, 16 games a month.

I think you can't take that away from junior hockey and what it leads to in the adjustment period when you do get a chance to play pro.

Yeah, we got Caden Strader will be back.

And then, I mean, Dylan Dean played some in the top six at the end of the year.

But we did lose a lot of guys.
