My son was on Elites his Sr. year last year...and guess what...he came from the SMALL school and trust me the team was not good, and the team play...

MN in NAHL draft

As a parent... my son turned down a tender, actually 2 tenders and one with an Canada team. It is not an easy process first of all, it's not about where...You can't compare playing in NE, OH vs. Alaska...it is not the same. Alaska has good programs! Don't get me wrong...but if my son can play closer...

Thanks for the info. it was a big help.

No one knows about the SIJHL out of Canada? Most of the teams if not all are out of Thunder Bay. This is their NAHL league from what I understand.

Some of you seem to be very knowledgeable with the exception of the last post. My son was offered tenders with 2 different teams one in the NAHL and one in the SIJH league. He turned both down prior to the draft and the location of the teams. He still is considering both teams being they have both h...

8) CONGRATULATIONS TO DEREK and BEST WISHES! Making these decisions is very stressful, and not taken lightly by a player OR parent.

Your an awsome player Derek and fun to watch! We look forward to following your career.

There are kids that have been out of more than one game due to injury, and some that came back to play prior to being fully recovered. So that may be a reason you do not see some of them with many points. You miss out on games you miss out on the scoring. You come back not 100% and your not at the t...
