[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you think ECNL coaches almost never bother looking at their own ECNL RL team.  Its clearly not done at our club.  You would think they would be looking for the kid that has drastically improved between 12 and 14.  But time and time again you hear the only way for that now very good 14 year old to move up is to switch teams.  Most times those RL kids dont even get a chance to try out.  You would think during tryouts every year they would bring up the 5 or so best players from RL and have them try out with the outside players.  [/quote]

my experience for boys is that there is a significant difference between the 1st and 2nd team, regardless of the league.  My DS is in his last year, and of those that were or are on the 2nd team, only 2 would get significant playing time on the first team that were moved up.  We have had about 10 boys over the years be moved from the first to the second team.

The girls side is similar, where there is a significant difference between the 1st and 2nd teams.  We've had two players move up to the first team and get decent playing time.   [/quote]
