For me, it is primarily a speed differential in the game play.

NHL = 100%
AHL = 80 to 85%
CHL = 75%
NCAA = 70%

That is not taking into account the maturity, the hockey IQ or the level of physicality of the various leagues. It's merely one person's view after watching a sub-set of games from each league with the primary source of data being each league's championship tournaments.

I've always found the CHL to be... choppy in comparison to the NCAA. Meaning, it looks more like kids on the ice than adults looking like they are playing an NHL style game at slower speeds.
