My son is a soph on a JV team(where he belongs) and I am amazed at how the JV team gets treated as scum and looked down upon. Is this the case in the better hockey programs? I would think coaches would realize that 1/3 -1/2 half of these JV guys will contribute to Varsity someday. Back when I played(both JV & V) I remember the coach making an effort to treat us as 1 big team. Maybe he was an exception? I realize I am not in a postion to change anything but would like to hear of other's experiences.

ive seen the same maltreatment of jv teams in other programs

at hermantown we all get treated very evenly. we all get access to the same facilities, we share a locker room, sometimes we practice together and for the most part everyone on the hockey team are friends in some way.

i play at a school, on both the jv and varsity team...and we are all treated just as fair in all aspects of practicing and playing.
