Re: USPHL Bantam Draft

"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.

Hey my son was traded his Peewee Major year so I think anything is possible in this lovely little game we call kiddie hockey.

Sorry your kid got traded.

Draft is a futures draft for jr program. Following USHL and NAHL

Canadien jr leagues (OHL, etc) have been holding these type of drafts forever.

Right, the difference though is those leagues have legitimate hockey players. These USPHL guys think they are going to sell tickets to their games

They aren't looking to raise money from ticket sales but from raising the tuition. Guess what? People will pay and so will you.
