How would you compare/contrast and ?
SHL and USports are different in the one is pro and another is university level. SHL takes the edge, but USports is a very quality league with many players possessing ex-major junior and high-end junior experience. If you put two teams on the ice from each of these leagues, you'd see a competitive game.
Our team regularly scouts these tiers and we have partners on the ground both in Sweden and Canada.
