In addition, over 100 current WHL players receive financial assistance to enroll in post secondary classes while playing in the WHL. The WHL and Athabasca University have partnered to offer, through online and other distance education vehicles, fully accredited university courses to any WHL player interested in further pursuing post-secondary studies while playing in the WHL.
