CHL Power Rankings: Which Players are Trending up and Down? And Who Are the Top Teams in the OHL, WHL, and QMJHL? We’re Here to Let You Know With Our Weekly Risers and Fallers!
Welcome to our very first entry to our weekly CHL Power Rankings. Every week we are going to be bringing you an update featuring the top ten players at every position throughout all three leagues (OHL, WHL, QMJHL) as well as the top ten overall teams in the CHL.
NHL prospects are scattered throughout the CHL, with the OHL being the top producer of talent. Some have already been drafted, while others seek to hear their names called in the next year or two. We’ll take a look at some of those players in future editions as I present my “players of the week”.
