I posted this today under one of the other comments. This might be a good follow through to your comment. I’m sure I’m missing a few players.   A majority have Pens Elite in common whether it be a stepping stone or a longer stay :

Try to do your research.  Typically, if an advisor thinks you're good enough or have the potential they will find/reach out to you.  If you have to contact them, then it means they aren't looking at your player right now.  The biggest red flag is if they ask you for money, if they do that run for the hills.  Use your organization as a filter as well to see which ones are legit versus the ones that aren't, or other players that might have advisors to get their feedback.  The right advisor will help you out a lot depending on what your goals are (college, OHL, WHL etc...).  They will have contacts with all the teams and schools and will give you feedback on any schools/jr teams that have interest.  Best thing is, they are 100% honest with you so your not wasting their time, but more importantly your own.  Good luck
