BREAKING NEWS: CHL considering banning Russian and Belarus players

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine we have begun seeing countries, businesses, leagues etc. start to take action against Russia.

Earlier today we saw the National Hockey League announce that they are cutting all partnerships with Russia.

We have now learned that the CHL, which features the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), Western Hockey League (WHL) & Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) are considering banning Russian & Belarusian hockey players from the import draft

The Canadian Hockey League will hold an executive call on Wednesday to discuss the Russia situation. There's some speculation the CHL may ban Russian and Belarusian players from the import draft but I'm told nothing has been decided yet.� Jeff Marek (@JeffMarek) March 1, 2022
