Heard on the Holiday up in Grand Rapids that there is a move in from Elk River- will be a Senior.
Was told he saw some varsity action last season as a junior in ER.

I think every junior in the program saw some Varsity time last year in ER. Numbers are down for the Elks, and they keep dropping.

That is so weird. Elk River High School hockey is finished for at least the next 10 years. If they were dropped from 7AA, they would probably rebound.

Not willing to put in time and effort demanded 3. Burned out and just want to play for fun. 4. Feel spurned by coaches if not getting what they think they deserved. 5. Other things are now priorities (girls/boys, school, drugs, alcohol, work, etc). I think now there are more options and more entitled kids, so they pick up their ball and go home. I personally don't get it, make them cut you if you feel your on the bubble. Compete, sad but lots of kids don't have this like they use to I believe. Also see a lot of kids who feel they are automatically going to get a spot because they played JV last year, so don't work at it like they should, they get passed and they can't catch up.

Elk Rivers numbers are down across the board, youth program is suffering as well. Other factors could be that ER is an aging exurb and there are not a lot of younger families moving into it. Socioecomincs play a part too, ER is more of a blue collar city and the cost of hockey is getting out of control for some families budgets.
