[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Impossible?  No.  Highly unlikely?  Yes.

Focus on colleges your kid is thinking about.  Look at the team website and check out the back grounds of the players.  It will list what teams they played on, and any honors won.  Would your kid fit in?

Also, look at fitness tests for the sport.  Where would your kid stack up.  It’s not impossible that a coach would give a meaningful tryout to a kid who had great speed, good fitness, decent high school film, and a story about focusing on hockey until high school and shifting late.

OP here (not the hockey parent).

My kid stacks up well on the fitness tests.  He is incredibly quick, and has a lot of stamina.  Right now he has good film from club, and from guest playing in the other sport.  He has gone to some ID type camps and gotten good feedback.

I feel like right now he is on a good path to playing in college in his club sport.  The question is if he stops playing club, and just does varsity (multiple sports), private training, guest playing, camps etc . . . Would that take him off the path?[/quote]
