Don't ever underestimate the impact of "How good looking Mom is" when it comes to picking the bubble kids!

I would pick the entire summer hockey team based on that criteria alone.

how about "don't be a d*ck" in lieu of religion or god. quite frankly, I could care less if a kid is religious or not

People love to lambast them because they say their priorities are family, religion, and school but two years later they move their kids 400 miles away to live with strangers while attending a public high school and playing in the USHL. Did the top three priorities get flushed or was #4 really #1?

Gotta love a school that costs so much you can get financial aid if you make up to 250K

This tryout criteria was used by a bantam A coach....there is not a coach around who could accurately score the players on all those items during a one-week tryout process.

From what I was told, he created the criteria so he could justify his selections and not have to take players he had chosen the year before.
