I wanna drop gloves and go at it with you after reading all this.

If you're wanting a piece of me you're going to have to get in the back of a very long line.

After watching my kids (boys and girls) play at all levels I have come to the realziation that the squirt level is the worst! The absolute worst! Especially if you have alot of first time hockey parents coming through the system.

Hockey aspirations and expecations are so high at the squirt level and are often abruptly extinguished during cut down days. Look, it's human nature. I don't know anyone who likes to have their baby called ugly. Especially SECOND year squirt parents. When their little player gets cut to B's during their 2nd year of squirts, the parents often mistakenly interpret that as a hockey death from which there is no return. When in fact, it's just the beginning.

I have 4 sons who play hockey, 2 in high school and 2 in college, one in division I. Guess what Squirt team he was on? C. Yep, C.

I wouldn't know what to look up.

I'm not sure if I get your point. If your point is that things change from Squirts to Bantams and beyond then it matches my experience.
