The CHL capped off its 2023-24 season with record viewership numbers on its streaming platform CHL TV and saw increased attendance figures across all of its three member leagues: the Western Hockey League (WHL), Ontario Hockey League (OHL), and Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). Throughout the regular season and playoffs, the CHL’s 60 affiliated clubs collectively welcomed more than 8.9 million fans into their arenas – the most since the 2018-19 season. CHL TV totaled over 4.4 million views throughout the 2023-24 campaign, including an 18-percent and 13-percent increase above last year’s regular season and postseason respectively. Thanks to significant fan support in both Moncton and Saginaw for the CHL’s national events, the CHL alongside its partners was able to raise more than $205,000 for several worthy initiatives. Additionally, the CHL continued to showcase why it is the best development league in the world. At the 2024 National Hockey League (NHL) Draft, 88 CHL players were drafted, which accounted for nearly 40% of the 225 picks made by the NHL’s 32 clubs. According to the NHL, the 88 selections from the CHL were more than the combined 38 players chosen out of the United States Hockey League (USHL) and USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program (NTDP).

Right behind Czechia was Finland, which had 15 players drafted by CHL clubs, representing the largest number of Finnish players ever selected in a single CHL Import Draft since the event first began in 1992. Led by the first overall selection of Russian right winger Matvei Gridin by the Val-d’Or Foreurs, 18 of this year’s selections were among the many chosen at last week’s 2024 National Hockey League (NHL) Draft.
