[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]if you think you have a shot you need to leave the area. on the girls side even at tier 1 you still have dad coaches that cant help but prioritize their kid's friends during team selection. and i know a couple parents of boys that left for prep school after first year 16U aa, and ended up making tier ii juniors before hanging it up. kids that "couldnt" make aaa here. go look at the alumni sections of the 3 tier 1 programs in the dmv and its pretty dismal. and when you investigate further you find the ones that "made it" only played in the program for a year.

the tier 1 programs in dc are ineffective - heck I know its not what its about but go look at their W-L records over the last few years. its why some of my posts above were so critical. there's probably a slew of reasons to it - but i've witnessed networky or clicky parents get their kid on a team. basically parents buddying up to the heard coach whenever possible. i think most parents of kids in the programs here should just play aa. cbhl and ahf are fun and offer all the benefits of the sport without giving up a normal high school life. the ones that really think they have a chance should move. because dmv tier 1 inst going to get you there. i dont know why usa hockey makes it so hard to start a tier i program, because if these guys didnt have a monopoly the kids would benefit.[/quote]m
Having two Tier 1 programs in this area makes no sense ( not enough talent) unless you are the program that is in it to make endless gobs of money. And throw in the “ River Rule” and you’ve  got yourself a greedy shi*tshow called DMV hockey. [/quote]
