Yes, this is something that almost all parents of younger kids really don't understand.  When my kid was younger and playing we would see some older kids get NCAA D1 offers and thought they would actually go there and play (like you see with football).  I can tell you out of 10 kids who were "signed" to D1 schools, only 1 actually played D1 and he was not on a scholarship.  A true NCAA D1 ride is very rare.

Most of the time they commit, then are asked to go play Juniors in Canada either after High School or during it.  They bump around on a few teams and maybe even a few leagues.  Then when they turn 21 they either stop playing or go to college and play ACHA.  Most people don't understand that hockey is different than football and basketball.

If you plan anywhere in Canada, OHL, WHL or QJM you are automatically ineligible to play in the US for a college

Marianne was one of the best! Then about 5-8 years ago she started having too many kids, up to 25 at a time and there was no way she could coach them up! Smaller classes, 5-10 at the most are the best! Believe it or not, Marc Voit is one of the best power skating coaches around, if you can get around the stigma, he’s goo though! Kevin Muller is also very good at UPMC!
