Do not post club/tryout/clinic announcementsin the Hockey Discussion sections. And one posting is enough. Pretty simple.

I know there are some schools that are the exception, but not the norm. Also, if you think you 4 foot 5 stick handler is going to improve his chances to going in the show, your as bright as a box of rocks. Even if you kid is top 10 at his $70k/ year prep school, he will most likely be playing at the Ducks adult league at 10pm on wed night vs the guy that played Midget A and is now a $300k/year businessman.Peety has done an awesome job moving kids on to prep school. For some, not only does Prep school offer a great education, it offers some great hockey which doesn't interfere with the academics! And yes, the cost to play/attend isn't much more (possibly less) than playing Ducks/Kings AAA when you factor in Airfare, hotels, rental cars, clinics, privates (all free at the prep school) access to a gym and the ability to enjoy stick time/extra ice time especially on the weekends (again, all free).Here is a quiz for you: The USHL recently had their draft; Phase one (2002's only - 160 players taken) and Phase two (open to all unsigned free agent players older than 2002 - approximately 300 taken)Of the approximately 460 players taken, how many were actually playing in California when they were drafted? I believe 5.http://draft.ushl.com/

However, right that is besides the point as Prep school kids are taking a different path...not a right or wrong path, jsut different.

Another dozen from Midwest preps SSM & Culver. More than the entire T1 Elite league. But who's counting?
Regardless of how you spin it, we are seeing 2002 and 2003 kids leaving California in droves (especially the ones that played at a higher level)
You might have learned the new math, I don't see that. I see 1 in Phase I, and 3 in Phase II, if you don't count South Kent Selects Academy, which isn't a NE "prep" program.

Other schools represented in USHL draft include Avon Old Farms, Taft, Thayer, Exeter, Belmont Hill, Salisbury, St. Seb's, Loomis Chaffee, Gunnery, blah, blah, blah why am i doing this for you just look closer.
