Seems like it would have been fun to stay at Shakopee, play in hockey day MN, go to state tournament with a shot to win it, get all the press and coverage you could possibly want as a player. Be the top dog at walking down halls at the high school hang with all your buddies, play some poker with boy...

I don't mind players that start out as 9th graders, the have no 100% sure they will be making the team or getting playing time. Its the 10th and later that apparently aren't promised they'll make team or be a starter from the coaching staff before they move(ya right, give me a break) that sucks.

You can't with a straight face say kids that would be first line, big minute, PP kids on a lessor program don't move to Tonka their sohp, junior, senior years without some 'assurance' from said coach they will make the team and play a role on the team. Which is definition of cheating/recruiting, etc.

Breakaway Academy alums tou mean.
