Eastern bias is a real thing. It is not a bias in the sense that every hockey fan in Ontario got together at a summit and declared themselves superior, it is mostly a bias in the sense that we're all in bed when the games are on out west. Add in the dwindling dollars spent on journalism of any kind outside the big cities, and you've got a situation where information about a player like the Leafs draft pick Adam Brooks seems like it's coming down the telegraph wire a week out of date.
What is going on out there in the WHL anyway?
