You’re nuts. I don’t know anything about figure skating but getting any girl to d1 level of hockey, let alone ivy, means sending them to boarding school, or commuting to Philly or Pittsburgh for hockey, starting when there 14.

Not true in all cases. Mariya Rauf played Pride 16U-19U here (graduated 2022). She committed to Yale, but due to the COVID bubble played a year in Canada before reporting there. She's dressed consistently freshman and sophomore year and played every game this past year. Girls from this area going to the Ivies are few and far between, but if you're good, you're good, and the schools will find you. I actually think it's easier coming from a 'small market team' to get into an Ivy for hockey because they are not handing out athletic scholarships, and you have to have the grades to get in. A lot of the better known Tier 1 players don't have the grades or are chasing scholarship money.[/quote]
