I don't understand why this thread has created all this emotion? I would guess it is better for the boys to be in the right situation. If they struggle, then they should be in a better place to succeed? Even if it means they get cut. I understand Frustrated and his/her position. just saying...

It is better to be in the right situation. No doubt. Look back at my posts. I do understand that frustration.But why does a parent need to stick their nose in it? It will work itself out. It's clearly a case of someone who feels inadequate and anxious about their own self worth. Just sayin'...
parents suck and they ruin it for the kids. whether they are benders or all-stars, does not matter, they all suck!
especially if the kid is a bender because they are aware that everybody is talking about them behind there back when the kid does not belong on the ice...
kids who don't belong at the elite level should go back to town and stop taking ice time from kids that do belong. how will anybody get better when there are kids who cant execute, compete and think at the elite level. they can play for their town team and get a star sticker for a great job! just sayin...
How'd they get a spot on the team? The fact is they are either just as good as your little Crosby or your "elite" team isn't elite enough to attract enough talent to fill the roster with kids who are as amazing as your perfect little athlete. You are just like every other loser hockey dad that will have a washed up wannabe by 15 - go ahead and blame everyone else for failure. If you want your kid to have any shot in this sport you need to let go of the victim attitude and focus on what your son can do to improve results. You won't though because you are a born loser so finish smoking your lung dart, head back into the trailer, wrap up that episode of Springer you're working on and start training little Gretzky to score you 40s from the fridge.
Youth hockey is about development of elite talent, not getting a ribbon for particiption. Its ok, you dont belong! Go play soccer with the town kids meatlick...

No it's not, it's about participation. That's why we have so many teams. Participation = profits. If it were about development you wouldn't see 70 game schedules at the Mite level. At some point you will understand that you have to go outside of your team to develop your kid. Or he won't be "elite" by age 16.

Yea, Too bad there are only about 20 "elite" kids at each age level in all of New England ! So, sit back and act accordingly !
