This is somewhat true. Multiple kids from each level going to TG. From the parents I've talked to it comes down to coaching. They feel the TG model is a much better model than IHC. Being a basement dweller for most of the season allows players to gain mental toughness, fortitude and grit. Plus the frustration the kids feel while playing helps a ton.
Yes, some kids loose it and slash / head-hunt / cheap-shot other players because of this but the coaches use some sort of reverse psychology by encouraging it rather than stopping it. Hard to tell how that approach is working; I can't seem to draw any conclusion.
Looks like Islanders are looking for skaters from outside the EHF/Islanders/Dual State pool of players to fill all those slots from their Riverhawks purchase.

Why, because of the free open skate? They do that every year.
