10/1/2026 · CHL Media Staff
As we gear up for the puck drop of Season 2, league officials have unveiled a new set of banned traits and gameplay restrictions designed to ensure competitive balance and showcase the value of true team hockey.
With the anticipation for the CHL's Season 2 reaching a fever pitch, the league office is committed to maintaining a high skill ceiling. To foster a more strategic and authentic gameplay experience, we are officially implementing a revised list of banned traits and roster restrictions effective immediately.
### Looking Ahead
These changes are designed to reward hockey IQ over exploits. We want to see cycling, defensive positioning, and creative playmaking defined by the player, not just the loadout. Team Management, please review to ensure compliance before the season opener. Let’s get ready for the season!
