The import draft is seen as a way to raise the level of competition in the Canadian Hockey League as well as to broaden its fan base while retaining high North American content. It can also be a possible springboard into the NHL, or at least a higher draft exposure.
At the 2015 CHL Import Draft following Swiss prospects have been selected:
-Timo Haussener (F, SCRJ Lakers) as 39th overall by Guelph Storm
-Auguste Impose (F, Genève-Servette HC) as 43rd overall by the Québec Remparts
-Calvin Thürkauf (F, EV Zug) as 59th overall by the Kelowna Rockets
-Dario Meyer (F, SC Bern) as 92nd overall by the Edmonton Oil Kings
-Misha Moor (D, HC Ambrì-Piotta) as 116th overall by the Oshawa Generals
CHL (Canadian Hockey League) is an organization that represents the three Canadian-based major junior leagues WHL (Western Hockey League), OHL (Ontarian Hockey League) and QMJHL (Quebec Major Junior Hockey League).
