Around the CHL ~ volume #2 season edition #13

Two of the leagues have wrapped up their regular seasons so here are the winners and leaders as of today. With another wave of COVID back in January, the QMJHL postponed quite a bit of their season meaning that they are finishing two weeks later than the OHL and WHL. The 2022 playoffs begin on Thursday for the latter two while our Halifax Mooseheads and the rest of the league will get going in the post-season early May.  GO Moose GO!
