Majority of parents and coaches aren’t familiar with why Tahoe exists, the different teams they have and their focus on developing the player. AAA does not include player development, so still need to have extra sticktimes if the player wants to continue to improve. Without improving their game, the visibility AAA claims to offer is a short-term gain. Clubs will always have players lined up to play AAA, so developing players to be better isn’t top of their priority list. Tahoe’s focus is player development, with two different team levels: high school team & prep team. I understand Prep team joined the Tier 1 East Coast League this season, where 50% of the D1/D3 schools are located. As a relatively young program, Tahoe working hard on doing the right things... for the player! They’ve caught the attention of several strong AAA players, so would appear parents tired of SoCal club hockey have done their homework to find a better option, yet keep players closer to home. I think Tahoe is on the right track and congratulate them on their success! Plus, see they’re still on the ice practicing... while SoCal players are scrambling for tryout skates to make teams.
