[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hockey players do not go to college from HS they go to academy then to college. [/quote]

LOL.  Another mom who knows nothing.  Yes, many top hockey prospects play in various hockey leagues instead of going to college.  BUT many college players end up in the NHL as well.  Stick to knitting.[/quote]

Maybe you should learn to read. I did not say that hockey players do not go to college or the NHL, what I did was point out there is a step between HS and D1 hockey. Where I am from we call that "academy". This is why Cornell has 25 year old seniors playing hockey.

You kiss your daughter with that mouth? Actually you probably do.[/quote]

And you also imply that this is the path all NCAA hockey players follow.  That is incorrect.  Get over yourself.[/quote]

The majority of the Yale team (just won the NCAA national championship) were NOT direct entries, but came either from the Canadian junior leagues or the US equivalent.  I believe the Yale goalie turned 25 on the day of final, and 21-year-old freshmen Division I ice hockey players are the norm -- it's the 18 year olds who are the exception.[/quote]

and Cornell's best player Rob Pannell went to HS for 5 years and is a 5th year senior playing lacrosse - not sure how he was able to play 5 years of lacrosse at Cornell.[/quote]

You obviously don't follow college sports.  Pannell had a serious injury last year, missing almost the entire season.  Although it is uncommon in the Ivy League, college athletes are granted additional years of eligibility all the time, usually because of a season-ending injury.[/quote]

He had an injury in his Junior year after 2 games and Ivy league schools do not give medical waivers. So why was he allowed to play year 5? He actually took the Fall off and only came back in the Spring to take some classes and graduate and play.[/quote]
