[quote=Anonymous]Play lacrosse instead.  DCUM is a hockey desert, and no one from here goes on to play NCAA, whereas DCUM is a hotbed for developing college lax players.  Or play hockey for fun and pick the team that is closest to home, regardless of what anyone says about the coaches or the organization.  Make it easy on yourself.  If your kid isn't at least a second-line player, play on a lower team where they will play more and have more fun.  I'm at the end of the road with my hockey player - did the full gambit from AAA to settling for being a good high school varsity player and focusing on school and college (BTW, high school hockey is fun).  The last thing we wanted was for him to take 2 years off to play juniors and then go play at whatever D1 or D3 school would take him, with not enough time to focus on academics and a real career.  Cynical, yes, but I wish someone had given it to me straight back when we had an 8U "star, and we kept chasing the next best thing to what end?  [/quote]
