Hell of a reply... Really!! You are striving me to make this league, this idea better. Thanks!! :)
Sponsorships: Mr. Sub: A very good "hockey company." Sponsor alot for NHL teams in Canada. Secondly I didn't wanna go with Subway because its already sponsored with the CHL. Lastly as a "major" sponsor I don't see any reason why they can't expand into the WCHL markets.
Credit Union: Could sponsor one (1) of the two (2) Sask Divisions or the regular season champion... Ex: Credit Union Cup presented to the regular season champion of the eastern division.
Sobeys/IGA when researching them I did find out that they were independently owned and I later was going to add Save on Foods to a BC rep.
Coors/Molson I don't see any reason why they wouldn't. As they sponsor many Jr. A teams, and leagues across Canada.
TV: For television I was thinking this
Global: BC
Score: Alberta
CTV: Saskatchewan
TSN: U18
Also for each representing sponsor season each regular season ticket holder will receive 10% off from there local store

Budget yes, it will be tough for the budget. But, you gotta spend money to make money, and with the "dollars off" from sponsors and a better competiton attendance will icrease. Also by going to Alberta once by a "Sask Rep or team" it is no different travel wise then a north team going to Estevan, Weyburn. Yes I know a lot of Dub teams are losing money, but this isn't the dub, not trying to be, and were going to try to make this work. I am trying to make a "budget" for a year, all about the dollars, at a average attendance of 1000.
"Money" With the increased budget of this league, sponsors pay a huge roll, instead of major dollars payed to be a sponsor in the league, companies can offer discounts, 50% off any Wyndham Hotel, 25% off Esso Gas, or 50% off any sponsoring resteraunt. You gotta think outside the box....

Jr. A You do make a valid point here also, Jr. A is majorly considered Teir 2. Mostly of Major Junior cuts.... That's where we can capitalize on players and other leagues can Capitolize on players "CJHL" The WCHL will stay away from "washed up" players while the "CJHL" won't... Not a lesser league, lesser scholarships.. The current SJHL, and MJHL is a contender each year for the RBC Cup but has one of the lesser scholarship rate in all of Canada, frankly because its full of ex. WHL players who ruined there NCAA ability. Thus is the major difference between the two leagues, totally different, not better, just different. The WCHL will be a younger league, more like the WHL, while the remaining teams playing in the "CJHL" will have an older league with more Ex. CHL players, that will have bigger, stronger, more physical games, that will have more experience...
WCHL/CJHL Here is one of the many obstacles in this league, "why would I play here" Ex. Trail Smoke Eaters.
Pretend your a 19 year old who recently got cut by the Brandon Wheat Kings of the WHL, you expect to take your talent to the Camrose Kodiaks of the "WCHL", but they trade your rights to the Trail Smoke Eaters, Camrose feels that you might leave mid season as you "ruined" your NCAA ability.. You don't leave mid season, you go to the Trail Smoke Eaters, and lead the team in scoring, and lead them to a RBC Cup Chamionship with 8 other, WHL players... Yes it will be tough trying to recruit guys for Spruce Grove in the AJHL, no doubt there will be a "lesser" opportunity for a scholarship, but it doesn't mean it's a lesser league, just a different league. I'm not trying to ruin the current Jr. A in any way, maybe this way it will make it more competitive.

U18: We're not trying to take away the best players from the CHL. This U18 team will no doubt get attendance up (Who wouldn't wanna see a top end player from the draft), but also it WILL have good development for theese players. They will be able to work with Hockey Canada, and get better at hockey skills, and people skills. If a player doesn't wanna come he doesn't have to. It's his choice if he wants to stay in the CHL. There is no way every world junior player player in Canada was a star as a sixteen year old, everyone peaks at different times, and the U18 will strive for that "the best player you can be." "Seth Jones spent time with the USANDP so why can't "I" go that same route." There is talk that another hyped player might go the college route Matt Barzel, who was drafted 1st overall in 2012. Barzal could later join many players who had success in the NHL including (Jonathon Toews, Justin Schultz, Jaden Schwartz, Cory Conacher, Dany Heatly, Dan Boyle, Cris Kunitz, Kevin Bieksa,Mike Cammalleri, Marty St Louis, and Patrick Sharp) just to name a few, all would have played in this league if given a chance, so I don't see any kid give up a opportunity to play for your country at any time, for any reason. The Canada U18 team will make you a better player and a better person, also give you a couple more years before you make your decision on where you wanna go. (WHL/College)
