You're a moron. I love that you are so passionate about this topic to list the names and cross-reference past brick rosters. What a loser.

Congrats to all the non-brick draftees too. Whats your point?

A couple of questions to challenge your attempted point:
- How many years of brick tournaments are represented in your list? Two? Three? Four?
- How many other kids played in the tournament those years?

Your stats are skewed. I can show you stats that more non-brick attendees were drafted this year and I don't need to create a list.

Useless. I can guarantee that your kid is a EHFer too. Your kind of stupidity keeps the RGs of the world rich. Good luck.

Donkey nuts...thats just the list from the 2011 Brick Tournament...one single year of kids that played in the 2011 Brick. Hows that taste?

35 kids out of 210 = 17% of kids playing in the Brick were drafted in the NHL from the 2011 Brick. Thats insane like it or not. Show me any other tournament that gets 2%.

Re: Brick Tournament - Hmmmmm

It's a cut and paste, idiot.

And, it would be predominantly one Brick year, given that the draft was for 2001s and late 2000s. But, since we know that late birth year kids don't tend to rise as quickly to the "elite" level as kids, it's likely 95% + are from a single Brick year.

While of course it's not the majority of kids drafted or of kids that played in the Brick, it's still an impressive list.

Impressive statistics no doubt. Nobody ever questioned the quality of the tournament. However, the idea that "if my kid goes to the Brick, he is more likely to be drafted", which is being suggested by the poster and certainly believed by many parents, is a logical fallacy. You do not need to go to the Brick to develop into an NHL-caliber player.

Actually its not a logical fallacy. Statistically speaking if your kid plays in the Brick then he has say a 15% chance of drafted compared to a .0001% change he does if he doesnt play in the tournament. The real takeaway is the stud top 1% kids at 10 are still the top 1% at draft time.

That's not how statistics work. While a higher percentage of Brick participants are drafted, the likelihood of being drafted purely on the basis of Brick participation is no greater. An "elite" player that chooses to play has no better odds than an "elite" player that chooses NOT to. The're still "elite."

For example, even without statistics I think we'd all intuitively agree that the risk of heart disease among qualified runners in the Boston Marathon is lower than the risk among recreational runners in general, and certainly the general public. But, it is not running the Boston Marathon itself that reduces the risk. The training, dedication and lifestyle choice it takes to qualify is the contributing factor.

The Brick does not make you a more draftable player. It is simply an event where more draftable players collect.

Yes thank you for explaining something that was completely obvious. I highly doubt anyone believes that playing in the Brick is the cause of someone's hockey success and if they do they deserve to get their pockets raided.

Re: Brick Tournament - Hmmmmm

So people with kids 8, 9, 10 years old actually look at things like to brick and say to themselves "If my kid can do this he has a better chance of making the NHL"? Most will be 20 year old freshman at D3 if they still play hockey at that point. Just enjoy it, don't brag and teach your kid not to brag because you're both constantly getting **** on if you do.

Re: Brick Tournament - Hmmmmm

Why not let a 9 or 10 year old chase his dream? It most likely won't play out but where is the downside? Let them have their moment in the sun (well, cold poorly lit rink anyway) and let the parents and grandparents brag about it. This is youth sports in America and when they mature and grow they will understand where they are going but until them let them dream. Stop being *******s and let the kids play the game.

No my kids are not at the brick, the Q, or anywhere else outside of our region. We like it here and if they happen to get the invite someday we will go.

If a kid loves baseball his dream is playing in the Little League World Series. If a kid loves hockey his dream is playing in the Brick.

There's a big difference between the drive of a 10 year old and that of a 12 year old. At 10, it's still mostly driven by the parent. At 12 it starts to be more driven by the kid.

And comparing the Brick to the LLWS is questionable anyway. Not in the same league. The LLWS gets you more exposure than D1 college hockey. ESPN will only touch Frozen Four games, and even then some end up on ESPN3 (online). LLWS regional games are on ESPN2, World Series games on ESPN. In America, baseball is still king and making the LLWS is much more prestigious than either the Brick or the Q.

What are you still sour your kid wasn't good enough for the Brick a few years back? Get over it pheasant. Your kid will get drafted early in beer league selections.
