They do run a great program and I like their skills. Even thinking of moving my kid to Advantage from current EHF team due to proximity and program re****tion but still can't get past the fact that the bottom half of E9 isn't very competitive hockey. The thought of driving to Springfield for a 10-1 game isn't very appealing.
Forget the competition during the season, it means nothing.
What's paramount are the skills, playing opportunities and ice time they offer 12 months out of the year. Fact is, development is happening out of that Org inspite of the inferior competition.
Dont go by my word alone, some of the most skilled U13/14/15/16 players in NE are a product of this Org and they didnt develop playing in 10 to 1 games.
Just hearing about Lovell’s new Winter Club. Is this a tie-in to the hockey academy they’re building or just another program under their umbrella? I know they take some shots around here, but they’re good at teaching skills, and making money while doing it.
*they are good at making money off “skills”
Any advantage player who has ever made it has moved on from their “skills” before their 14th bday, FYI.
"Any advantage player who has ever made it has moved on from their “skills” before their 14th bday."
The above statement is a bit misleading in the sense that many accomplished players leave their youth teams in their early teens. The facts still point to a number of success stories out of that Org, who are given a solid foundation to development, inspite of the "competition" they faced during their youth years.
Wait, Lovell is adding ANOTHER program on the South S**** and plans to play elite? Where are all of these kids coming from? I know the Hingham bank accounts can absorb another team, but is there really enough talent around to start another program there?

Talking about as skills / skating coaches, doofus. They are bad at what they do but you people fall for anything, props to the dwarves.
