Go take a look at the college hockey commitments of 99/00/01/02 players….they played in EHF.

So the only players playing College Hockey are from the EHF?

This may be the funniest thing ever posted on the DBoard !!!

so all of the college hockey commits for those four years played EHF... lets look at those commits and lets look at what divisions they have committed to. Then actually look at them and see where they played then get back to us.

you guys are so delusional.

and for the record one kid from mass made the USA junior eval camp today... where did he play his youth hockey ?

and out of all of the local NHL draft picks this year not even the majority, nevermind all, played EHF.

wake up... there are other programs out there !!!

Actually if you guys are asking what league is the best development and the goal is to play college hockey the poster has a point. I just scanned hockey commitments and all the local kids that have committed played EHF to my knowledge. Committed kids are to BC/Harvard/BC/BC/BC/UVM/Quinipiac/Brown - all played EHF.

Re: Turnover

You do realize that BA and Jr. Warriors have kids committed to D1 too? Or are you just blowing smoke up everyones ass and saying all D1 kids are from EHF? WTF? AND the kids that committed to D1 that the EHF claimed as their own also played for E9, town hockey and MSPHL teams? So a kid plays one year with the Islanders, 3 years with Jr. Warriors and a year or two with town and EHF "claims" that kid as a product of their league and their league only? Thats laughable. Get a grip. EHF is a good league, but not the only league that produces D1 or even D3 players. THe more I read the posts on the D board, the more I come to realize the EHF people are the ones pumping their chests over their kids development. Whats that saying? Watch out for the quiet ones? Yea, think about that.

Where did it say all players who committed to D1 come from EHF? EHF has way more kids play college hockey than any other league. If you want to deny that go ahead but thats the facts.

Re: Turnover

I see the majority of the kids on the list played in the mighty EHF! And the OJHL & the USHL have a few too!

Re: Turnover

getting back to the OP,

Are the Breakers really that bad? Are they the dregs of the league or do they actually compete against better teams?

Reason I ask is my son is probably going to try out for select at the end of the coming season and they were one of the teams I was thinking of.

Re: Turnover

Ask around, 07,06,05,are in tough shape. Good luck. Remember you pay for coaching, not the elite tag.

Re: Turnover

It's pretty funny because their midget teams are always one of the best teams around. And I think they had another recent competitive team.

Re: Turnover

coaching at the squirt/mite level is in tough shape, hence the high turnover

Its not about the program its about the coach for each team. Find an excellent coach and you are all set no matter what laundry the kid wears.

'06 Tier 1 won their EHF league title.

Moved up to Black in parity as well.

Coach is excellent.

So they won what is essentially the C division and this somehow legitimizes them?

The 02 Elite team won the last 3 EHF championships and did well at the Q…but that team disbanded so it may be a rough year in Rockland.

IMO the Jr Terriers are a better choice in that geography. New head of player development, really good guy.

im new here so where do i find the story of the mother kicking in the Door?

That is the stupidest story ever. It's not like the mom who went out onto the ice to yell at the ref...not even close.

Re: Turnover

she kicked the door in and started yelling at the kids on the other team. It was pretty bad and hilarious. Especially if you know the family

Re: Turnover

No it's just the one guy here that is obsessed with this story and the story isn't even interesting or shocking. Some mom gets mad and went and banged on the locker room door of the visiting team or something like that.

Remember the old newspaper adage - "Dog bites man; not news. Man bites dog; news" An angry hockey mom is 'dog bites man'...not 'news.'

I have heard nothing but good things about tier 1 coach, most think he should be taking over for the 06 elite coaches. Heard nothing good about the 06 elite coaches

Not sure what EHF programs offer this top notch competition you speak of or if that is just something that gets repeated so often that people believe it is true. The programs that are somewhat local to us are just bad, and its not competition if you cant even compete with the teams your playing against because the program is bad.

I see kids from all over and different programs play together, do skills together and do evals together and I have never noticed that top kids all play for EHF teams. My experience has been quite the opposite but what do I know.

Do you really think that if your kid has sub par skills at a sub par program but plays in the EHF they are getting better than a kid who plays at another program like BA and plays their games in the BHL ???

and I for one will not pay for a program that requires me to go to another program and pay for walk on skills so that my kid can actually get better, surely not at the mite, squirt or peewee level !

You are either full of crap or totally misinformed. Its one or the other. I would say at least 95% of the top local players play in the EHF.

Yes, your right, 95% of the top Squirt and PeeWee players do play in the EHF. See what that gets you once they are high school age.

Re: Turnover

At one point or another good players will play in various leagues for various programs various coaches, high schools...at the end no one really cares. Even some of the local stars (Eichel, Donato, Hannifin...) that have moved on have numerous teams they played for like private teams, tournament teams, EHF teams, BA teams, National team, Junior teams prep teams, high school teams so to hang it all on the EHF is really silly unless your kid is < 12 then you have no idea what you are in for but you will quickly learn.

EHF is a good place to play but it's not the only place.
