[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - just to clarify - our son will ONLY be "playing for fun" - there is NO WAY he would ever make a college team.  But that doesn't mean he might not be interested in playing for his high school team "if he could make it".  So my question is really what kind of "talent" end up playing on the high school privates in the area (including club).

I know that if you are a real talent, you are better off going up to Prep schools in NE or going off to play junior hockey in another city/country.  That's not what I am asking.

In fact - I am asking "who is left behind" to play in the high schools.  Something more akin to this....if your kid plays Travel AA or Travel B for MYHA, Laurel, Ashburn etc is there no hope for high school team (even club team)...or are some of those kids still able to make a team.[/quote]

If your kids play travel, he will definetly make the HS team.  In the spring of either 7 or 8 grade, you could approach the HS your son has an interest in, and they may allow him to skate out with them for Spring league.  Go to the school website and see if they offer hackey camps in the summer.....[/quote]

Even at the B Travel level?[/quote]

Yes, right now the spring league is in full swing at Rockville.  Take a look in - there you will see a mix bag of levels.  However I don't think Go'ga or Landon is playing in the spring league, not sure, but call the front desk at the ice rink, and ask for a list of HS teams playing for Spring....  Some of the best players might be missing due to LAX, Crew, etc..but still should give u an idea...HTH[/quote]
