"The established road to hockey success for Canadian teenagers has always been the major-junior leagues across the country."

ummmm......Martin St. Louis (Vermont), Paul Kariya (Maine), Rod Brind'Amour (Michigan State), Kyle Turris (Wisconsin), Dany Heatley (Wisconsin), Marty Turco (Michigan)....the list goes on and on of Canadians going the NCAA route before becoming great NHL hockey players. Hardly a new phenomenon and not limited to BCHL graduates.
