Third League
#13

There are actually a bunch of leagues who have tried some kind of third "tier" before, although not in the exact same way that you are describing. The SHL itself had the EEL waaaaaay back which was more of a side-league though with no direct connections to SHL or SMJHL-teams, which never took off. And in fact the VHL announced just a few days ago that they would try a third league within their system, although not as a stepping stone between pros and juniors, as you are describing, but as a tier below juniors for late season joiners, lower activity players and all the others who might struggle to get significant playing time on a junior roster in tims of big classes.

Generally speaking I think this is an interesting thought experiment that is definitely worth exploring, but at the end of the day juniors are the lifeblood of this league and I would rather not fiddle with that and force players out of that enviroment that has become so fruitful for the entire league.
