[quote=Anonymous]I tend to think that hockey's popularity over the past decade or so has been primarily because of the success and increased profile of the Caps. [i]While there are individual exceptions[/i], historically kids coming out of DC/MD/VA hockey programs are going to get crushed by kids coming from New England and Upper Midwest programs when competing for athletic scholarships. From everything that I have heard from people who know far more than I do, kids from this area who want to become elite hockey players tend to get shipped off to NE boarding schools. This area is a lacrosse, crew, and swimming powerhouse region, so area kids and parents looking for athletic scholarships will gravitate to those sports. That having been said, my DD is a hockey player, and I pray to the ice gods every night that she'll get a full hockey scholarship to one of the top ranked Ivy teams :wink: .[/quote]
