[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks to everyone who gave constructive advice! DC is a starter and does play the entire game for a top ECNLR team and does demonstrate most of the attributes mentioned so it sounds like there’s a shot at least. I guess I’ll start reaching out in January to local ECNL clubs to see if DC can attend a practice at least and get an honest opinion of if the talent level is there. Will I this damage our relationship with current club at all?[/quote]

Be careful what you wish for. He may have more fun actually getting to play games vs. sitting on a bench for much of the rest of his youth career. At least it's his goal and not yours. I swear some parents want to see their kids sit on an ECNL bench just to have a chance to sit on a college bench. Fun times for the kid I'm sure...[/quote]

And careful what advice you listen to.  One thing is for sure...if you never give your kid the chance to make it at a higher level because of fears like this, then your kid will never get the chance to make it at a higher level.  You can't win the raffle if you don't buy a ticket.  Sounds like the OP's kid wants to shoot for the top so I wouldn't even entertain fears like this...shooting for the stars always comes with risk of failure.

But in all honestly, if your concern is fun then just stay at the RL level.  [/quote]
