[quote=Anonymous]My son plays house and isnt very competitive so i dont have direct experience with the travel programs. But we've done lessons, clinics, or played at or against all of those programs. Reston and Caps Academy are seemingly the most competitive. My son played rooftop at caps academy and we saw the travel teams in the facilities a lot. They were good and took things seriously. I cant speak to the coaching or programs other than to say I frequently heard the kids in the hallway and locker rooms talking about who made what team and who got moved teams and it seemed quite competitive. The medstar facilities have a lot going on with the Capitals and is busy all the time so that environment is different from the other ice rinks. Something to consider. Its kind of a production.

A family friend plays with Reston and is really serious about it. They are expected to do a lot of extra training and there are several different layers to the 12U and 14U team placements.

St James house is a mess, it seems designed to make the facility a profit. Minimum player development. They have a lot of player and coach turnover and politics within all of their sports teams. But idk about the travel hockey specifically.

I know all travel leagues are competitive so this comment may not help much!! But ice hockey is a close knit community here because its not that popular. So dont be afraid to make some calls and show up at all of those facilities to get a vibe.

My son has had a great experience with Nova Ice Dogs (again, only house league, but really nice community) so add that to your list too!
