The Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Import Draft typically takes place annually on the Tuesday or Wednesday after the NHL Entry Draft.
Teams from the Western Hockey League (WHL), the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) all have opportunities to select a maximum of two Import Players each year.
An Import Player is defined as a player whose parent(s) do not reside in Canada or the United States as of January 11 preceding that year’s CHL Import Draft.
