CHL bans Russian, Belarusian players from import draft

Russian and Belarusian players will be ineligible for the 2022 CHL import draft on July 1. The league canceled its Canada/Russia series in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Russia will no longer host the 2023 World Championship and 20th World Junior Championship.

Scott Wheeler is an NHL prospects writer. He explains that Russian and Belarusian prospects are stuck in no-win situations.

The CHL gave the KHL, VHL and MHL what they always wanted. The prospect draft of 2023 will be much more complicated. It will probably be more difficult for Russian and Belarusian players to get a contract.
