If I had a 04 to 07 player and was able to make the drive to Burbank, I would not hesitate to try to make that Bears team! Forget the “AAA†fable, if you want player development and a club interested in your player, no club is better at it! I have no horse in the race and my player has never been a Bear, but seeing the effort that club puts into making their players better and provide opportunity surpasses any club in Southern California! The BIG TWO clubs, which we have been involved with for years, could learn a lot from Peter at the Bears. But as we all know, they’re more focused on hockey as a business, and they will always attract players attracted to the NHL junior scene.
