I think the hope is that Sokolovsky does that too.

Um, but he's he's very green, he's very raw.

Like, and the thing is, maybe this is a good time for us to bring in this conversation, Elon, about the CHL as a whole.

Uh, because as you know, the NCAA this year opened up, you know, to two CHL players and and pro, I guess, adjacent players to come and and come and develop as part of the NCAA.

And so

So you do have like an exodus of talent that goes out from the league, especially talent in the kind of 18, 19, and 20 year old range.

These players, uh those of those players that would normally be kind of at the top of these OHL lineups are are suddenly gone.

Right.

And so if you look, I mean I I encourage everyone to do this on their own time.

I didn't do the full deep dive here, but there were more I would say that there were more sweeps in the

In the playoffs in the OHL, WHL, and QMJHL this year than ever before.

Uh, I think that there was just th there was not a lot of competitive hockey.

You end up in a situation where your teams have haves and teams of have nots.

No.

And so you have like the London Knights and the Kitchener Rangers, which have all the resources in the world and are continuing to improve their programs.

Brantford comes up as well as one of those teams, Brantford Bulldogs, run by Spencer and Zach Hyman.

Um, these are teams with a lot of resources and can get a lot of uh you know, can get great players and can get players to come to them from other leagues and they have great gyms and they have all sorts of stuff for the players.

And then you have a team like um the Red Deer Rebels in the WHL where they don't have that at all.

They don't have the facilities, they don't have they don't have the, you know, the allure.

Or a team like Prince Albert.
