trying to understand playing Jrs, elite league, etc

[grandmeadowhockeyfan]

I don't understand how the Jrs, elite league effect a kids ability to play for the high school. If they play Jrs can they play for the high school or not. Same question for Elite leagues. I love to look at all the teams prior to the season starting and try to project the top teams and knowing if a kid is coming back is vital. Can someone explain this to me.

I'm pretty sure that there are ways for a player to play a split season where they play part of the year on a junior team (nahl/ushl) and then still play on their high school team. I'm not sure how it is done but there have been players who have done it before. Typically they leave for juniors right after the h.s. season ends.

The Elite league is a totally different thing. Playing for the elite league team in no way effects your ability to play for your high school team. Part of the reason for the elite league was to try to keep kids here playing h.s. hockey rather than leaving to play juniors full time.

As long as the player does not play with the junior team (or any other team) after the starting of high school hockey, he maintains high school eligiblity. That's been on the books for a long time.

However, with the new transfer rule, one other thing comes into play. He has to maintain his enrolllment at his high school. He can't transfer back to the school in time to play hockey.

Oh, and I do know that there are some basketball fans in Grand Meadow too, or at least there were when I coached against the Superlarks in the 1980s.

I am actually from Duluth originally and moved to grand meadow. Grew up a hockey fan and there is no way that is going to change.
