Would you want to play in this fishbowl with all these nutbar Canuck fans and media, miserable rainy weather and your family and old highschool buds nagging you all the time? Get me the hell outta dodge. I'd take the hometown discount to stay in LA for sure. I feel bad for Virtanen, his Mom must be on him like white on rice, his highschool buds are probably wanting to hang out at his Yaletown pad all the time to play video games and smoke weed. No escaping it

Weber was prepared to sign the same offer sheet with us that Philadelphia gave him. But MG told him it will be matched by Nashville so instead tried to get him to sign a huge one year deal that would allow him to be a FA the next year. His agent however feared the unknown changes the new CBA might bring and wanted his home run contract done before the expected changes. Point is Weber was prepared to play here.

If it happened, could he keep his nose clean around here?
What do you think?

Contrary to popular belief makes your post regarding this subject one big massive pile of bull shite. Worst kept secret is that of ole Weber not fancying the idea of playing in his home province in front of the lunatics of BC.

Whoa whoa whoa, you're calling BS on HW??

This unchecked aggression shall not stand! I appreciate your insight on drafting and prospects, but you can't make a statement like that and call it "worst kept secret" without reference to a single source.

Not knowing a lot about the Frozen competition, how can this be compared to? it is equivalent to WHL etc or lower?

The US College hockey due to the fast rising USHL is on its way to becoming the powerhouse junior league of North America.

The camera work in the CHL hasn't advanced much since the Punch McLean days of the New Westminster Bruins.

The play by play is awful. Very Dan Russell like.

Yeah the Canadian Hockey League CHL could use some upgrades in technology, what they need is some better leadership at the executive level to get more money in with sponsorships etc.

Talent wise, BCHL is starting to get more talent!
