Line 12: }} The '''CHL Import Draft''' is an annual event in which every team in the [[Canadian Hockey League]] (CHL) may select the rights to eligible import players. An import is classified as a player who does not have residency status in either Canada or the United States. The draft is conducted online, during the last week of June, or first week of July, following the [[NHL Entry Draft]]. Teams from the [[Western Hockey League]], [[Ontario Hockey League]], and [[Quebec Major Junior Hockey League]], systematically take turns making selections. Teams can have a maximum of two imports which may only be obtained through the draft. The draft is open to all position players, but a ~~banned~~ban on drafting European goalkeepers was in effect from 2014 to 2017. As of the 2022 draft, 2,026 players have been selected, with many later going onto the [[National Hockey League]]. ==History and process== Line 30: {\|class="wikitable" ~~! colspan="3"~~\|+Territorial claims of the Canadian Hockey League<ref name="advisor" /><ref>{{cite web \|last=MacDonald \|first=David \|date=2013-03-29 \|title=Understanding the CHL’s Major Junior Draft Process \|url=http://hockeyfamilyadvisor.com/understanding-the-chls-major-junior-draft-process/~~\|title=Understanding~~ ~~the CHL’s Major Junior Draft Process~~\|~~last=MacDonald\|first=David\|date=2013-03~~url-~~29\|website~~status=~~Hockey~~dead ~~Family Advisor\|access-date=2018-01-20~~\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180121071500/http://hockeyfamilyadvisor.com/understanding-the-chls-major-junior-draft-process/ \|archive-date=2018-01-21 \|~~url~~access-~~status~~date=~~dead~~2018-01-20 \|website=Hockey Family Advisor}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|~~url~~last=~~http://juniorhockeytruth.com/ohl-draft/~~Olynyk \|first=Nick \|date=2014 \|title=How To Get Picked In The OHL Draft \|~~last~~url=~~Olynyk\|first=Nick\|date=2014\|website=Junior Hockey~~http://juniorhockeytruth.com/ohl-draft/ ~~Truth~~\|access-date=2018-01-20 \|website=Junior Hockey Truth}}</ref> \|- align="center" !
