CALGARY, Alta. – With the National Hockey League heading into its second month of competition, Canadian Junior Hockey League alumni are among those that have seen plenty of action already this season.
Since the 2017-18 NHL campaign began back on October 4th, a total of 133 CJHL alumni have dressed for at least one contest early in the campaign.
The Edmonton Oilers currently boast the largest contingent of former CJHLers that have played already this season with nine.
The St. Louis Blues have eight ex-CJHL players having already suited up in NHL games while the Philadelphia Flyers and Arizona Coyotes have seven apiece in this category.
Also of note, all 10 Jr. A leagues that comprise the CJHL have at least one of their former players on a current NHL roster.
The following is the list of CJHL alumni that have played at least one NHL game so far this season:
