[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why the hockey hating parents event click on these threads.

My son is in high school now and missed school a bit during his youth hockey years (about 15 days a year, minus his pee wee major year when he was at tournament in Quebec for 2 straight weeks).

First, we always were upfront with all of his teachers and principal at the beginning of the year about his hockey schedule. We told them approximately how many days he would miss. We also discussed that school was a priority and if he wasn't keeping up in school, that the absences for hockey would cease. His school/teachers were extremely supportive and helped him schedule and organize his work accordingly. He kept up with straight A's in middle school and it was enough for him to be recruited to study and play at a top prep school in the northeast.

He is now into his high school years and his coach believes he likely will get recruited to play D1 at a top university, with a high likelihood of going ivy league.

Missing school for hockey isn't always detrimental - as long as you set the standard with your child and communicate efficiently with the school/teachers. [/quote]
