A couple other key eligibility things<br><br>1) once you are in ninth grade you have a max of 4 years left of eligibility. Repeating ninth grade does not restart the clock.<br>2) Once you are 20 years old, your eligibility expires <p></p><i></i>

not the first kid it's happened to. Lourdes lost a very good player who transfered there but the previous school filed papers stating he was a varsity player when he repeated 8th grade, and he had attended 2 weeks of 9th grade, therefore officially was _in_ 9th grade. They appealed and they lost. <b...

re: thauwald...<br><br>and your point is... he had pretty much committed to HS hockey the year before (by playing track and field instead of going to Juniors in the spring). and you invited the kid to elites.

petey, you're use of 'wouldn't' confuses me.<br><br>I think what we [those that feel the elite program is too elite] all asked for was, that let the elite league play in their league, have the tryouts, claim they are the best of the best, but:<br><br>1) allow an elite team to schedule scrimmages or ...

not an athletic scholarship. his father said JP is a 'non-scholarship recruit.' CC doesn't allow walk-ons. He probably got academic scholarships/financial aid (last I heard, they applied, but hadn't gotten the numbers back).<br><br>-bud <p></p><i></i>

I agree that most elite teams are a just profit making venture for the coach organizer or a way for some father to get players to complete a team around his son/daughter. Some however, are good. Some are focused on trully bringing the best of the best together. I know of teams who get 4 scouting rep...
