Around the CHL ~ volume #1 preview edition #9

The Canadian Hockey League regular season begins in a couple of weeks so to get you ready I thought I would recap how last season went. With all three associations getting back in action come October, I wanted to start these again. This edition will look a little different than other season previews I have done because of the weird circumstances of the previous year. Check back all year long for more stories about the CHL and your Mooseheads.

here are last year's leaders:
Division champions 2020-21
WHL - Edmonton Oil Kings 23 games played, 20-2-0-1 record, 0.891 point percentage, 104 goals for/41 goals against; Everett Silvertips 23 games played, 19-4-0-0 record, 0.826 point percentage, 91 goals for/45 goals against; Kamloops Blazers 22 games played, 18-4-0-0 record, 0.818 point percentage, 87 goals for/51 goals against; Brandon Wheat Kings 24 games played, 18-4-2-0 record, 0.792 point percentage, 104 goals for/61 goals against

Team changes


Rouyn-Noranda will look to repeat as Memorial Cup champions from 2019. This year Memorial Cup's host has yet to be revealed but they will be in the tournament no matter what. Prospects will look to continue impressing scouts during the season as some will be eligible to be invited to World Junior camps in early December, which might include a couple of Halifax Mooseheads. The 2022 Sherwin-Williams CHL/NHL Top Prospects game possibly may not be played this year but no official announcement has been made.
