Two more notes today....
First, those "another WHL team is moving to Chilliwack" rumors can be put to bed. The BCHL announced today that the Quesnel Millionaires will move to Chilliwack for next season, and will more than likely be called the Chilliwack Chiefs since the new ownership group owns the rights to that name.
And another BCHL/WHL note, the WHL has lost a first round bantam pick, as forward Evan Richardson - Swift Current's first round pick in 2009 - committed to Boston College today.
The WHL hasn't lost very many high picks to the NCAA in recent years but it looks like they lost Richardson. Next player in question: fellow 2009 first round pick Seth Jones (#11 overall to Richardson's #15 overall). Everett has said in the past that they expect Jones to play for them this coming 2011-12 season....but nothing is official....

Another "Chiefs" team in the Dub huh? I dont know that I have ever heard of a league with two teams sharing the same mascot.
The Chilliwack Chiefs will play in the BCHL, not the WHL. Not sure how you read that the WHL would now have two teams named Chiefs?
The CFL used to have two teams named Roughriders and Rough Riders, although that was a while ago. :)
Good scoop on Richardson Alan. Bad break for the Broncos.
Don't forget the AHL's Milwaukee Admirals and the Norfolk Admirals.
Alan, just wondering when you'll be working on your protected lists? Really love the blog. You are a great resource.
