[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the future of current 10 and under hockey players? Just wondering if all this travel and tournaments will payoff in some way? Or is my kid going to get injured and unable to play? Do all colleges have hockey teams?[/quote]

Not really sure how to answer this.  The road to college (and pro hockey) is long, and there are many routes you can take.  If you are looking for a guarantee that the travel and money you are spending on your 10-year old is going to result in a college scholarship (or even a roster spot), you are not going to get that.  In general, if your kid really wants to play in college, he (or she) has a good chance of being able to find an ACHA (club) team that they can play on, though it might not be a college he or she would otherwise want to attend.[/quote]

Good chance of ACHA is harder than you think, especially depending on the school.  Lot of good AA players won't make ACHA D2 teams.  Even AAA players may not regularly dress.   Other clubs are just looking for bodies.  Has to play because he likes it, that's it.  High School hockey is ton of fun and that's the payoff.    [/quote]

DS played ACHA D2 at a school with ACHA D2 and D3.  Every kid on the D2 team was from a New England prep school or straight from 2 yrs of juniors.  AAA kids didn't make that team, only the D3 team.  That's not necessarily the case at all schools, but depending on the school/region, ACHA hockey is *very* good.[/quote]
