NHL 11 To Have CHL Teams? (WHL, OHL, QMJHL)

[Tikker]

it'd be awesome to have the CHL teams included

I know personally, I'm never ever going to touch the european leagues.
being able to start out as a junior, getting drafted, then playing in the minors and eventually onto the bigs would be fantastic

Now they just need squirt teams.

if you try to play your AHL team during GM mode, it gets all messed up and you can't go back to your NHL schedule. EA can't get one minor league right how are they going to juggle 3 others!!!????

Hmmm, maybe they'll need some help with the rosters...

How sweet that be playing with the Majors at the Hershey Center

I could definitely see the inclusion of the CHL cause BAP into a "Journey to the pros" type of mode. Wouldn't be surprised if they added international tourneys to BAP and GM Mode. So if you're a stud in the CHL you could end up getting selected to play in the U-20 tourney.

Kind of expecting Crosby to be on the cover and having his image in a Rimouski Oceanic jersey, Pens jersey, and Canada, all be used.

That would be awesome!
And imagine if they added in agents to the mix? Sweet!

Taylor Hall for cover athlete??

IF this is true -- guess I'll know in a few weeks, eh? -- I'm not sure that they'll be able to include real players. While the pro/amateur line is blurred for the CHL, I'm fairly sure there is no player's association which would make image rights issues complicated. Unless the CHL owns individual image rights for current players... but now I'm trying to be a lawyer, which I'm most certainly not.

At any rate, even if they have fake players, you'd think we'd be able to edit them and someone -- hello mattg! -- would crank out a good roster eventually. We were able to edit the prospect teams this year, so that's a good sign... again, IF this is true.

But if they are able to use the players, ^^^ this guy might have a new job. Get that resume & cover letter together!
