Additionally, 56 CHL clubs are represented by at least one player, headlined by the London Knights with seven and followed by the Acadie-Bathurst Titan, Brandon Wheat Kings, Edmonton Oil Kings, Gatineau Olympiques, Portland Winterhawks, and Seattle Thunderbirds each with five.
The 2021 NHL Draft will be held July 23-24. A total of 78 CHL players were selected in the 2020 NHL Draft including 19 players chosen in the first round, the league’s best opening-round showing since 2014.
