[quote=Anonymous]Don’t try to get on this path.  Nasty kids, nasty parents.  Academics down the drain, vast majority of kids who play are not on full scholarships, vast majority of the kids at the top won’t make it to college (even those who sign commitment letters).  Even D3 colleges require your kid to play multiple years of juniors, so, looking at starting college 2-4 years late.

Vast majority of kids who make it have an in…pro player relative, etc. or extremely wealthy parents who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Player on player sex abuse is common and covered up in the upper tiers, so that’s fun too.

Finally, as a mite parent, you sound like a cuckoo talking about D1 hockey…that’s like 1 kid every 2-3 years from DC and you have years before you know if your kid is actually any good.

My advice is to find a tier 2 club that your family likes and where your kids has friends and stay there and let him play high school too.  Then, if he still likes it, he can play club hockey in college.[/quote]
