Counter Argument

Given the history between the two organizations the rule for eligibility for youth players deciding between college and provisional should not be modified to any extent because of how flawless and smooth it has worked for hockey and the solid foundation it has built for Canadian youth.  Over eighty percent of Canadian born hockey players in the NHL played provisional junior hockey.  It also works perfectly that the NHL oversees a majority of the QMJHL, OHL, and WHL. (Podnieks)  This flawless system has never been argued by CHL affiliates but only by the NCAA.  The NCAA only cares about what it stands to benefit from such a rule change and is neglecting how badly the NHL and CHL would be thrown off equilibrium if such rules where tampered.  It would be an absurdity to the hockey world that would cause a greater argument then resolution.
