Well the first year played out as expected. Barely any commits at all. It wasn't free at all. Tuition was free but you had to pay for equipment, housing, travel, pucks, you name it.
Nothing but a marketing ploy.

So if it played out as you expected, what are you complaining about?

Who said I was complaining? More like gloating, genius.

Gloating that you made a bad decisona after predicting it would be a bad decision. Now that's genius.

How did I make a bad decision? I wouldn't wipe my a$$ with an NCDC jersey.

That's true, poster. NCDC is soooo far beneath his kid's ability that he feels the need to **** on it whenever possible, for no apparent positive result for his kid or anyone, even if it means ignoring the facts and making stuff up. Then he wipes his a$$ with his kid's NAHL jersey. Because that's fine enough for his big **** hole.

Hey Sux, did you see that 1/4 of the NA3HL has jumped ship for the USPHL? Even NAHL teams are realizing it's a better development model.

Wow, thats great. NA3HL? Something to hang ur hat on. I couldn't care less if all of the NA3HL left to play soccer. 99.9% ever see NAHL ice.

See, there's where that ignoring the facts thing bites you in your prominent posterior. A quick look at the 3HL website offers that they advance over 60 kids to the NAHL and over 120 to NCAA.

60 is a *BIT* more than 0.1%.

But, let's just make stuff up instead.

NA3HL sucks just like NCDC sucks. Its Tier 3 junk.

NA3HL is not even close to level of the NAHL. Sorry, try again...

Jesus trying to have a discussion here is like volunteering at the ARC.

No one said or hinted that the 3HL was close to the NAHL. It is their development league, and in saying that the USPHL is a better fit, they are saying it is better for their kids' development.

I doubt that the USHL did much better its first year. Clearly you have a vested interest in knocking the NCDC. Otherwise why would you spend so much time doing so? [Maybe your kid got cut?] Its better/cheaper than prep and will only improve as they figure things out.

My son plays in the NAHL. Do you really think he would have been cut from any of these $hit organizations?

If he's on a local NAHl team and he's not one of their stars, yeah he might have been cut from a few of them. What's clear is he's definitely not good enough for the USHL. So I guess it makes you feel better about that is to bash the NCDC? Just keep in mind there are people whose kids play in the USHL or Canadian Major Juniors who wouldn't wipe their a$$ with a NAHL jersey. Being 3rd Tier doesn't make your kid much better than 4th Tier.

I have watched a lot of NCDC and NAHL games this year. Not even close with speed and puck movement. NCDC and Premier not far off....N3HL basically Premier.

so in your expert opinion, Colgate is winning the NCAA championship in 2021? Good to know...:joy:

Isn't Colgate toothpaste? Oh yeah, and where RG bought his kid a commitment. Hell, he probably could get his daughter committed if he has one.

USHL & Major Junior is a huge jump from NAHL. I can at least admit it. NAHL admits it is Tier 2. Doesn't claim to be Tier 1 or Major Junior. The issue I take with NCDC is they didn't like what USA Hockey told them that they are not Tier 2. They decided to claim "free" when its all smoke & mirrors. I know many college coaches who don't wanna even be seen around these games or showcases. They know they need the USHL and NAHL which ARE USA Hockey.
