I disagree. A lot of decent D1 teams have kids that didn't play select hockey. The team from Fanklin that played in the Super 8 had almost no one that played anything but town hockey until half season U16/U18. I'm sure they are not the only ones like that.

I can tell you that's not how it has worked for Hingham. Last year they had a 4th liner and the state championship year they had one 3rd liner. Other that that they all came out of BA, BSB or BJT or...or...or...
...and then you go and watch the varsity games from week-to-week and the coaches struggle just to try to figure out the lines at all! Now it's rather or not the kid knows how to play and plug him in.
isn't that exactly what they said.... no clue who plays together because they have not played together for years ?
