Don't feed the trolls.

Rivers has become one of the top ISL programs. Great coaching, players and an excellent education.

Well, 2 out of 3, anyway.

2 out of 3 ain't bad

I am not even sure I understand the arguement. Prep hockey has it all over the publics and even the Catholics. The high schools can't compete because the preps recruit the best players. The high schools can't recruit and therefore lose out on these players. Money is need based but because of the endowments most kids will receive financial aid to make it affordable.

By the way, isn't the goal of going to prep or high school to get to college? If hockey is a vehicle that can get you to Princeton, Brown, BU, UCONN and Bently then yes going to prep school is worth it. I am sure that unless someone is wealthy and above the norm that these student athletes are not paying anywhere near $150K. I also use the term student athlete because kids need good grades to ge into these schools. therefore, if your student athlete can get to prep and play hockey that is great. if he can get into a D1 school through hockey even better. If hockey doesn't get him into a D1 school then good grades at a Rivers will get him a good education at a great college or University. if you think going to a prep will get you to the NHL then the odds are still very long. Better to get a good education, get into a good colege and get a great opportunity when you graduate. If your kid can do that then he got everything he ever wanted out of the sport.

I'm all for a good debate. This guy is posting nonsense just to get a rise out of people. Which is what he is getting.

That isn't a discussion, it's a p!$$ing contest.

With someone who's kid clearly wasn't admitted to rivers on the 10th.

With your attitude it's not to surprising your kid didn't make the cut. Enjoy Public HS hockey!

Why would I want to send my son to a sub standard prep school for $150,000
Status?
Look at how foolish you guys look
Sorry we are perfectly happy with our decision

And there we have it. Enjoy Public HS hockey followed by maybe Club hockey at Framingham state. There is a reason why schols like this charge 150k. To keep people like you out. Hope you enjoyed watching my son and the rest of the D1 commits play. I can assure you noone will be at your sons games.

Not only is the hockey talent lacking at rivers but it appears that the education is equally lacking
schols - try "schools"
noone - try "no one"

what a joke you are

Uh oh. I hit a nerve with the guy who couldn't afford Rivers. Picking on typos on a discussion board. Do you know how ro uae any punctuation? Probably don't teach that down at the union shop huh?

Do you know how ro uae any punctuation?
Sorry I don't understand this sentence. What does this say?
Which community college did you attend?

Give up you are just a moron.

Enough!!
My son plays at Rivers too.
Stop trying to defend us!!!
You are making us all look like stupid jerks

Stupid jerks? Lol.

My son's team had his season ended by Rivers. He's played with and against many of the Rivers kids either in youth hockey or prep preseason. They were a good strong team again this year and their coach does a good job of finding talented kids and preparing them for competitive HS hockey and beyond. The OPs son obdviously didn't get into Rivers and he's angry. Just ignore him, HS Lax season starts after the break and payback is coming

My son goes KUA
Why would we settle for safety schools like rivers or belmont hill?

Ignore this moron.

At least you spelled this post correctly
Still bitter about the game?
You lost!!
Move on to something else river troll

So hockey is everything in your sons life? we know it is in your life
what a sad pathetic son you must have. He hates you doesn't he?
teaching him to be an elitist snob. Sad
You can add father to your long list failures in your life.
trying to live thru your sons achievements is just pathetic
you must be that parent everyone hates at the games.
always yelling at his son or the ref or the coach
This is the problem with hockey today - YOU

Is that even English? Thank god I received an elite school education. Its ok though, someday my son may hire yours.
Enjoy your Public School games. The nice thing is you can watch the game without being bothered by scouts.

What's ironic about this whole thread is that this year's Rivers team was its most talented ever. 5 D-1 commits!! How many other teams in prep hockey can say that this year? Don't know what previous Rivers teams this guy was watching.

So right but apparently this clown doesn't believe Hockey East and ECAC Ivy teams are "powerhouses". He couldn't afford Rivers or his son can't skate.

I have been watching this battle for to long
Hey public, be happy and enjoy your time on the team.
It seems like you are having fun
And Rivers, you are the reason my son left prep.
to many aholes like you
and since this is a bigger dick contest and you like to brag about you son here's my story.
my son is currently skating in Michigan. He has already played in several international tournaments
He has already committed to a D1 school. Just waiting for him to become a senior and graduate
Unlike your bender he has a real shot of advancing past college hockey
And no I will not being going to see your bender play in college hockey, but you might be paying to see mine play shortly
So rivers learn some humility. There is always some better than you.

Sure. What city are you from? Lol

What's your sons name?

Talk about bragging and showing some humility!

agreed
But I didn't know how else to shut that troll from Rivers up

Sorry

Only kid I know from around here scored 2 goals in 30 games in Michigan this year. Maybe you should have gone the Prep route. If you think he will see the Ice in the NHL with numbers like that you are delusional.

Still sounds like your bender couldn't like his jock strap
But I bet he'd like to

This thread is even more stupid than the EHF vs E9 debate Congrats the dboard has hit a new level of stupid

Prep vs bitter guy whose kid couldn't get in

preps kid didn't even dress this year
who is he kidding

Like his jock strap? Too bad he gave up that prep school education to score 2 whole goals. Hahaha

Can someone teach Sid proper English? Its utterly painful trying to figure out what the mental midget means half the time.

this coming from a retard who can't spell
Here it is simply
your kid is a bender
his kid is a prospect

clear now?

No he is NOT a prospect. 2 goals is miserable. Both have D1 scholarships.

your just mad because he left your bender kid behind in a weak prep league
and you didn't get an invite to move on
Jealous much?
the 2 D1 scholarships are for hardship not athletics
that's because daddy is on the welfare
