[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you have to give up traditional school for highly 
competitive hockey? You don't need to do that for football/baseball/basketball.[/quote]

I don't have a travel baseball or basketball player, but I don't think the travel is as extensive as it is for hockey.  AAA hockey requires a lot of plane travel and missed Thursdays and Fridays at school.  Baseball looks like a sport where you can do more of the travel in the summer?  Basketball doesn't require long-distance travel to play at a high level.  AAA hockey requires plane rides.  My kid isn't giving up traditional school to play hockey, but I've observed other intelligent families choose the academy model with AAA hockey.  The real issue is many traditional schools aren't flexible with their travel schedule.   Our friends did it for a few years in middle school, and now their kid is playing on a great prep/boarding school team where he is getting a great education and they can take a team bus to most games.
