2015 CHL Import Draft Results

The 2015 Canadian Hockey League Import Draft was held earlier this week.

The import draft allows CHL teams to draft two players from outside of North America for their roster. Each team in the CHL is only allowed to carry two import skaters, that is why you will see many teams pass up a draft pick.
