Prior to the start of the CHL season, we polled coaches in all three leagues to get answers covering everything from best player to best team to MasterCard Memorial Cup favourite.

In the OHL poll, Erie Otters sniper Alex DeBrincat had the largest margin of victory in any category.

In the WHL poll, Brandon Wheat Kings centre Nolan Patrick won a few categories.

And in the QMJHL poll, Anthony Beauvilier got all kinds of votes. But he might just make the New York Islanders.
