[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]** And if you are a goalie, draw specialist or low defender, these games are almost entirely meaningless.  You aren't getting a D1 offer unless you have played in front of the coach at a camp or his/her prospect days.

Assuming this to be the case and you had a goalie daughter who dreams of D1, what would you be looking for in a club and how would you rank the NoVA and MoCo options (putting aside commute and price)?[/quote]

What age is she now?

For a goalie, you want to look for 2 things

1) good goalie specific coaching   and
2) playing a tough schedule.

Reps matter for a goalie

In terms of NoVa clubs,  Stars has good goalie coaching but plays in real weak schedules.   Pride plays in the top tourneys.

If she is good enough to make Pride Red, then she should play there.  If not,  I'd play for Stars and get good private goalie coaching.

Also, it is more of a drive but both of the top AA clubs have very good goalie coaching.   Worth a look at Integrity and MDU at the youth level.

Also you should be proactive about be willing to guest play for other teams.   Lots of clubs, especially out of state, are often in need of a goalie for tourneys.  (especially in november when hockey is going).

Focus needs to be skill development and reps.   Like i mentioned, goalie scholarships are earned at showcases and prospect days.   Club plays a very low role in recruiting.[/quote]
