"U Sports", formerly the CIAU (Go, U Sports!!), is our pathetic version of the NCAA. As far as I know, we don’t offer real financial or scholarship incentives for student-athletes. If anything, they’re more like small honorariums than actual scholarships. Hockey: @grayruby is right on the money here. Our young players chase opportunities in the CHL — that’s the WHL, QMJHL, and OHL — for ages 16–20.It might not be as much of a sure thing as it once was with the growth of USA Hockey, but when I was growing up, most NHL late-round picks or undrafted older kids from the CHL could reasonably expect to keep their hockey dream alive with a big scholarship or a free ride to a very good U.S. school. I honestly can’t think of a single player from U Sports/CIAU hockey who went on to the NHL. GPT-5 found a few — but with the exception of Joel Ward, “notable” should probably be in quotes: Derek Ryan, Logan Thompson, and Joel Ward – recent standout examples making the jump from U Sports to the NHL. Dr. Randy Gregg – University of Alberta Golden Bears alum (and actual doctor) with a solid NHL/AHL career. Bernie Wolfe – goalie from Sir George Williams University, 119 NHL games, MVP at the university championship. Andre Hidi – University of Toronto, 7 NHL games with Washington after earning U Sports national accolades. Kent Ruhnke – University of Toronto, brief NHL and WHA career, university championship MVP. Football: I’ve never played a down of competitive football, but I know it’s… complicated up here. High school and community teams generally play some variation of Canadian Amateur Football rules. Some use 3 downs. Quebec uses 4 downs, but still with the 1-yard line of scrimmage. Younger kids often use 4 downs to keep things moving. Community teams in Toronto and Vancouver sometimes use a hybrid of U.S. and Canadian rules. I have no idea how it all works, but it clearly hasn’t been a great recipe for producing elite players. We didn’t have football at my high school, but…

Keep it up fellas

Why not put Arizona with San Diego LA and the angels

Watching Mahomes get brutalized next year will indeed be glorious.

Speaking about football in Mexico. A year or two ago the Mexican woman’s flag football team destroyed the American team. I couldn’t believe it! So if the NFL went to Mexico I think they will have a decent fan base
