I know this has been a good discussion on here in years past and I was just wondering what you all think? To stay or go? Here is an article from the DNT on juniors that I found interesting.

95% of the time I would say stay.

IMHO it's really a maturity issue...is the player ready to make that transition.
Anyone who's got a child that goes off to college knows that just leaving home in itself.... without any sports even involved, and living in a dorm takes some adjustment.
Now take that person a year or so early, put with a billet family they don't know, and go to school and play hockey...you have to be ready for that.
So that said I would agree with boblee, in most cases stay.

Good article. Explains both sides of the argument.

As the article shows, there is no universal right or wrong answer. It simply depends on the individual and whether he (and his parents) feel the opportunity is the right fit.
