Not the previous poster, but has a similar college experience (but baseball). You miss out on a lot of experiences if you choose the athlete path. It's a big cost to pay. Maybe not $250K (or more like $125k when I went), but it's a significantly different college experience than normal.
I do not see this supplanting USHL but I guarantee the will pass all the other Tier 2 leagues within a few years. 10-15 years down who knows.
Perhaps a local plays in the USPHL, features and then does a year out west.
Perhaps they combine leagues? RG pretty good with the exit strategies you know!!
"If genetics shows you are only going to be 5"9' then i would honestly set your goals realistically, D3 is where you will belong."
This is so true. Go watch a good D-3 team play and you will see some great players, some that look pretty old, some that can really skate, some that are pretty good...the whole gambit but one thing I noticed is almost every kid that can actually play he is undersized for his position by D-1 standards. Sure there are a few bigger kids but they have obvious holes in their game.
Well said. Sound like a NESCAC guy!
