The CHL has been sued via a class action lawsuit. The suit alleges that the CHL players are underpaid.
The Canadian Press -- A class action lawsuit has been launched against the Canadian Hockey League seeking financial compensation for allegedly underpaid players.
The suit claims the players are paid less than the minimum wage in their regions and that they should also get holiday, overtime and vacation pay.
The lawsuit alleges the average OHL player devotes 35 to 40 hours per week to his team and receives $50 a week.
Toronto lawyer Ted Charney says the lawsuit seeks to hold the CHL and its teams accountable.
