Re: New age restrictions for NCAA hockey
I think you are confusing what is best for USA hockey and what is best for kids/families who are pursuing college athletics. My point again....somebody start looking at this from the student athlete and family perspective...... How is the junior system better for them? I think I am right on this. If you polled prospective hockey recruits and parents and they were asked if they would prefer to start their college career at 18 or 20, which do you think the majority would choose? I know families with kids who have been or are being recruited. None were or are excited about junior hockey as part of the deal. They are forced to accept it. This whole debate is not about the actual participants. They are merely pawns. Any legislation should focus on their outcome....not USA hockey, Don Lucia, Union's program, or the NHL.
