Playing up
HockeyGuy-99:
So here's a fun question:
Why does SCAHA not allow major birth year mites to play up(they say its due to development) but the allow kids to play 1 year of Squirt before launching off to PeeWee A/AA? Isn't squirt the only age group you are allowed to do this in now?
If it is truly about the development about these children and not about hmmm, lets say...the money? Why don't they just implement the same rule as they did mites? Squirt A division may even become really good again instead of minor birth year teams being near the top.

Bantam majors can play up to midget, the exception being that AAA has a 15o division. The rationale for no longer allowing notes to play up to squirt is to prevent circumventing the ADM cross ice mandate. The rationale for not allowing pee wee to play up to bantams is checking.

80% of whether a kid moves on to juniors/college is genetics. when a kid is a mite/squirt, a look at the parents will tell you his likely future. btw, over the past decade on average only about a dozen kids per birth year make it to d1/major junior, and a similar number to d3/junior a (including girls). manage your expectations. cheers.

So you're saying there's a chance!!!!

I agree genetics is a factor... but not sure looking at the parents helps (he says, speaking as someone who's eldest boy is a good 9 inches taller than him... :-)
