The stats on kids "making it" are .000001%

All I can say is wow. That is a bold statement to make on here, you have got balls the size on boulders on this one. Brace for impact, I think there are a lot of people on here that will challenge you on this.

Do they have to be videos from 1st year Bantam, or can you use footage from other ages (i.e. Midgets)? I am sure you would want to stay clear of much older ages, as it's really not apples to apples.

Lots of great responses here. I agree, the parents of the Squirts won't learn or believe us until they go through it themselves, they just won't listen. They all think their kids are elite AAA, will get full D1 rides and play in the NHL. I just let them go and think it. Those of us with older kids know, half of the kids playing squirts right now will not be playing by the time they are 16, and maybe 1 or 2 total from the area will maybe play NCAA D3 hockey. None will be in the NHL and for sure none of them will remember anything about when they were Squirts. Sorry for the reality check everyone.

The lesson is to drop your stick...………….

Either you are baiting me, or you just don't know. Either way, I'll answer, technically Tier 1 (AAA) doesn't start until Peewee.

Ok, I'll change it then, I don't think there are Squirt Tier 1 Teams.

I don't think there are Squirt AAA Teams.
