jv. vs bantams
Our local association is having a# problem and our var. coach wants bantams to move to jv to keep a team. This would have to be for the next 5 yrs. Looking for thoughts which is more benifical to the players bantams or jv. This is the whole team not just top players so we would not have a bantam program.

another downside is fewer games.Marty McSorely wrote:Depends on the coaching and the teams your JV plays. If you have good coaching and your are playing teams that are = or better then your bantams play move them up. More practice time, an extra year of learning the systems are the big plus.
The down side is if the kids are under-sized.

well if u dont suck then u will still get a lot of ice timeCharliedog wrote:Another downside is potentially less ice time during games. High school coaches don't have to play all kids equally.
like uve all been saying id rather practice right after school instead of 9 or 10 at night like most batams do and play 70 games and only haveing a couple practices a year would get tireing on ur body

I loved Bantams. I could have gone to play high school (JV) as an eighth grader but opted for youth hockey.
In Bantams, I played against guys like Erik Johnson, Peter Mueller, Chad Rau, Phil Kessel, and countless other D-1 and professional players. You don't get that oppotunity playing JV high school.
Personally, I would rather see kids playing bantams than JV. But, like RL said, high school hockey cost me $200 bucks a year, or something like that, while youth hockey was in the thousands.
