It's tough to shed many tears for the Cheaterhawks.

Just thinking it might be a rare opportunity to get a professional sports team where you don't have to pay the talent.

im guessing the member teams will be paying in to the 30mill settlement fund ?

The timing of that portland ownership group bankruptcy filing tho

I read on the CHL website that they have liability insurance for 30 million which is how they came up with that figure. But then I read another article that says that each of the 60 teams will have to pay $250,000. So the insurance is only paying half of settlement? A $30 million with a 50% co-pay or a $15 million deductible seems like a strange policy.

I imagine they should be able to pay this over a period of time but some small market teams (including the last 2 Memorial Cup champs) are on pretty thin ice as is it, even before COVID-19 and this settlement.

Noice.

The Western Hockey League announced today Dustin Wolf, goaltender for the Everett Silvertips, has been named the recipient of the Del Wilson Memorial Trophy (WHL Goaltender of the Year).

The honour for Wolf marks the fourth time in the previous five seasons that a goaltender from the Silvertips has won the award.

In his third season with the Silvertips, the Calgary Flames prospect continued to shine between the pipes. Through 46 games, Wolf compiled a 34-10-2-0 record, 1.88 goals-against average, .935 save percentage, and posted nine shutouts.

Among WHL goaltenders, Wolf led the way in GAA, SV%, and shutouts. He was tied with divisional rival Joel Hofer for the league lead in victories.

The 6-foot, 165-pound product of Tustin, Calif. continued to stifle opposing offences throughout the regular season. From January 17 to January 22, Wolf compiled a shutout streak of 147:47, including a pair of shutouts against the Seattle Thunderbirds. In 21 of his 46 games, Wolf allowed one goal or fewer.

His 2,713 minutes ranked as the sixth-most among all WHL goaltenders this season. The 1,316 shots faced by Wolf this season were the 10th-most among WHL goaltenders. The Silvertips selected Wolf in the fifth round, 104th overall, of the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft.

For his WHL career, the 19-year-old Wolf has appeared in 127 WHL regular season games, compiling an 88-31-4-2 record, 1.85 GAA, .934 SV%, and 20 shutouts.

Pretty sad and disgusting. The culture around hockey, and all sports, definitely needs to change.
