Icer, Don't be an ignoramus buddy. ALL Major Jr. hockey players in Canada get their university education paid for once they finish their Jr. hockey career.

Very true but I still consider it taking a chance/risk on a professional hockey career through the major junior route. From my limited experience dealing with major junior, it was a small compensation/fallback plan, such as $5k/year to Toronto U or some other Canadian University. Not knocking Candadian universities in any way, just that if you are American and plan on working in the US, I feel you have a greater chance of getting a good job with an education from a US school.

Hockey is for pussies anyway, why are we even talking about a sport where all you do is hold a damn stick the entire game?

tough kids? i didnt think they played hockey in new jersey, i thought all that went on in the school system was tanning and teaching kids how to steal cars?

Rod, if ARS Lac St-Louis is your league and you are indeed in the sports etudiants program, how are you 19 years old?

"The Lac-St-Louis region is associated with three schools: École secondaire John Rennie, École Secondaire des Sources and le Collège de Montréal"

All of those are high schools that go from Secondary 1-5. You graduate secondary 5 when you are 16-17 (depending on birth date) In Quebec.

So either
A) You are lying because you are really a minor
B) You were put back 2-3 years in school
C) You are are not any of the above

In addition I know of no school, secondary or post secondary that has not started by the 3rd week of January (besides some specialized trade schools). My cousins who are still in high school both started by at the latest beginning of the 2nd of week of January.

Rod, you are probably in high school. I have no qualms against that but that would mean the picture you posted of your girlfriend means she is most likely under aged. You can get SBR blacklisted by a bunch of ISPs if it starts getting tagged as a child pornography website.

GO Irish watch those comments Chief

Jersey has some of the toughest street leagues in the Country

[shari91]

No if i was good enough i'd be in ontario not the states . nobody goes to the states to play hockey here . competition is to low . Ontario is where its at

Ok, now you've lost me. I suggest you do some homework into how many Canadians go to US colleges and then feed into the NHL. Good schools to start with are North Dakota, Wisconsin, Boston College and Miami (Ohio). You'll find that your 'nobody' actually equals 'quite a few'.

[Rod1010]

were talking About hockey here. The kids that choose to go to the us for hockey usually arent very good . Ontario is where its at .

Some of NHL buds went to Mochigan and MSU and are now doing well for themselves in the league.

Well, they're good enough to get drafted to the NHL and actually make a shitload of money in the league. Just from my tiny hometown I can name Ryan and Greg Johnson, Sean Pronger (hell even Chris was going to college and changed his mind at the last minute) and Patrick Sharp. These are just the guys I know. I can only assume there are more I'm forgetting and who came through after I moved away. Keep in mind this is from a town of 150,000 people.

[shari91]

And Rod, please don't ignore mmarket's last post. He brought up some valid points as to why your story isn't adding up. He's a sharp guy so maybe just give up on this stuff. Best of luck with your studies or whatever it is you're actually doing.

[Rod1010]

im gonna ignore them . already went over it a thousand times. Sick of repeating myself.


You dont wanna believe me ? GOOD FOR YOU !!! could care less

[Chimneyfish]

Beating your girl in air hockey at the pizza parlor doesn't count as becoming a "triple A hockey player".

[Rod1010]

[Chimneyfish]

Toews sucks then in your opinion.

The list of US college players going onto the NHL is ever growing.

Who cares if the kid plays hockey?
It's hard for some people to believe that people have lives outside of SBR

Shari,
To be honest with you, not too many NCAAH players actually are overly successful when they turn pro (NHL). Don't get me wrong, there are some great NHL'ers like Toews and Parise, but for the most part, the majority of the players are marginal players. No question, the WHL, OHL and the Q produce the best players/prospects and after that you have the Russian Jr. league and leagues in Sweden and Czech Republic.

The NHAA is getting better, but it's still not there yet.

It is growing for sure, but it's still not producing players like the 3 top Canadian leagues do.

[spargament]

I guess I should also come clean. Guys, I'm Vince Young!

I vote for this one

[jjgold]

Rod your not playing past club hockey

Lets see some skating moves, I do not want to see you nude right now unless you make a sex video and bang broads

Oh I definitely wasn't comparing them to guys who come out of the OHL but for someone like Rod, who says he's 20, his best chance probably would've been a US college so he'd at least have had the exposure. The guys I listed aren't superstars by any means but they all went through college and then onto to an NHL career, most of them lengthy ones. And the fact that someone like Pronger was going to skip the OHL so he could go to school with Sean kind of lends credibility to college not being a deadend. Actually I was surprised that I found a USA Today article that said something like 35% of NHLers were fed through the college system. Apparently the number is increasing too. Makes me happy because at least they're getting an education if the hockey thing doesn't pan out.

[Deuce]

Yes, that is just the CCHA. I played together with those highlighted. One thing you notice though is most of these guys are pretty decent players. Not many from this list are shit or even 4th line fillers.
