What has Canadian Hockey League (CHL) to do with the police.
It depends on what league they played in before. If they were in the CHL (OHL, WHL and QMJHL) then no, due to an agreement between the NHL and the CHL players are restricted to either the CHL or the NHL until they turn 20. If they're coming from college, Europe or the USHL then they can play wherever they want.
In the CHL, you can play from age 16-20.

One must join a team that competes within the Central Hockey League to be eligible to play in the Central Hockey League. Individual clubs within the CHL will have their own requirements for joining and each team has their own official website.
He was in CHL
Alex Dunn is a professional ice hockey player that currently plays for the Odessa Jackalopes in the CHL. In the past he played for Lake Superior State University then Macnhester Phoenix of the EHL.
When a young player is drafted by an OHL team, or any CHL junior team, his rights belong to that team until such time as he is traded, released, or his junior eligibilty runs out at age 20. He can still be recruited by any NCAA college team and play in any NCAA hockey league if he hasn't played major junior. The NCAA considers Canadian major junior leagues to be pro leagues and any young player who plays any games in the CHL is considered to be a pro player. Canadian universities, however, don't make the same distinction and many players from the CHL go to Canadian Universities when their junior careers are done.
The CHL team that host's the Memorial Cup Tournament is given one berth while the teams in their league play for the championship (Western Hockey League,Ontario Hockey League and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League) earn the remaining three spots.
Because the ECHL does not hold a draft like the NHL, individual teams are responsible for recruiting and signing their players. Potential players should contact the general manager or coach of an individual team to see if there is room and an opportunity to play for them.
