Made me think of an interesting question: Name the last New England Town Hockey player to play in a D-I game let alone receive a scholarship.
6-7 years ago a public school won the Super 8 and many were exclusively town hockey kids (back when you could make a good varsity team coming out of a town program). I think a handful of those kids ran home waiting for D-I schools to contact them and the phone never rang. So as long as the private teams market the kids to the colleges, provide the competition that is required by the college programs and find scholarship $ for kids. . . people will be willing to pay for their services.

So that what it is, all these great town players are being missed by all of the college recruiters?? this is about the most ignorant statement I've seen on both the new & old DBoard
As to why kids play at higher levels with coaches that advance their hockey careers is ignorant? O.K. then.

Do some research. Read an article from time to time. Expand your mind before calling other people ignorant.
