How much sens does it make to put a 5'4" 140lb 2002 on the ice against a 6' 190lb senior? I don't care how fast you are...that is a recipe for disaster
I agree with you. Especially for defensemen; not many freshmen or a sophomore D-1 / C.C. defensemen are ready because it's easy to get exposed. Especially if you're undersized (just ask Tory Krug!).

Who said they were 5'4"? Does it not stand to reason that these freshmen are early bloomers and nearly equivalent in size to the older players?
What would be more revealing is where they played mite, squirt and pee wee hockey.
Those 6 years of development are far more interesting than the last few before high school. That's where the foundation is laid, period.
True, but the poster happened to pick schools that were all in the VJW geography. I'm sure there's a similar story to tell in other parts of the state.

Valid. I picked schools and programs where my kids play and others within that proximity where I know parents of players and my kids know other kids.
I am not some nut that hangs out at tryouts and knows the rosters of every youth program.

That's what I figured. If you knew this info for every school in the state you'd probably be on a watch list somewhere. Thanks for the info.
I guess my point was that we all get hung up on leagues versus programs. At the 04 level and older you should really be looking at where you want to go to high school and where that coach has ties.
