[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know anything about travel hockey or this school, but I really don’t see what’s so bad about this model for the right kid.[/quote]

I feel like this was designed to prey on overeager parents who have kids that play for Little Caps. If your kid is actually good enough for hockey they shouldn't be playing in this area. Take the money and send them somewhere up north. I don't think the St James academy is a great idea either but at least it's at a nice facility.[/quote]

Kinda weird that this bothers you so much.[/quote]

I think we found the burner for the TPH people  :lol: [/quote]

Just one page back, I didn’t know what school you were talking about. Still, you seem a little obsessed…

This wouldn’t be a good fit for my kid, but may not be a terrible option for some. [/quote]

You do realize that not all of these replies are from OP and you are likely confusing the feelings of multiple people with one obsessed person, right? [/quote]

Actually I’m OP who just checked back in to see where this was going. And why does it bother me? Hard to say why it stuck so a nerve with me but it did.  I have two kids play travel hockry, including for both  WLC and TM abs I think I just got tired of the money making scam that it all is. Nothing, absolutely nothing, about any of these organizations have kids’ best interests at heart. They are money making scams that prey on parents who are so trying to relive their youth and the dream that their kid is somehow the next Ovi. My kids both love hockey, one is advancing after leaving the area but it has always struck a nerve to see these for profit organizations prey on parents insecurities. I’m sorry - but no one- and I mean absolutely nothing one - can convince me that sending your kid to “ school” at ION while “ training” as if you are a juniors player- is in your kids best interest - it’s not. Have you spent any time at ION? I find it offensive so that’s why I posted. And for those of you who say this might be better than your local public school - my gosh- does your school honestly suck that much?  Yikes. [/quote]
