[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are other families with AAA players who want to play college hockey doing?  Do you plan to send your kid away for prep school, juniors or even a better AAA team than what we have locally and hope they still want to go to college after the gap year(s) and that they can make a NCAA team?  Or are you steering them toward ACHA hockey? [/quote]

CHF nationals this week and ACHA nationals next week.  Can at least check out playing level of club.  Is it worth paying $20K a year for your kid to play non-scholarship hockey at tiny colleges in the middle of nowhere?  Unless your kid is on D1/USHL track, should focus on college first.  Former Little Cap is Captain of NC State and played in front of 26,000 people on Stadium Series Ice.  NC v NC State fills lower bowl of Canes Stadium and Icepack generally draws well.  Few Ashburn kids are playing front of sold out stands at Kentucky.  And those are ACHA D2 programs, Kentucky made Nationals by winning SE Regional at The St James.   Georgia, Tennessee, and South Carolina are CHF teams that have a number of local kids (some AAA players) and tons of support. Both made CHF Nationals in Philly this week.  Top of ACHA D1 is very competitive but not sure Liberty, Minot State, and Adrian are a big draw for a college experience. Also those programs have similar profile as NCAA D3 where freshman are 21.  Likely more fun at a big school with a well-supported ACHA D2/CHF program.  [/quote]
