he has been all in on hockey for 3 years now and being cut in his last year of midget has meant a huge reset for him. He has joined the football team at his high school and had his first practice yesterday. He said he enjoyed it and wished he had had the chance to play sooner.
i really felt like the assocation did not set him up for success this year and that politics played a role in him not making it.

Same goalie thing happened in Northwest last season. He played in the intrasquad game (4 goalies, so you'd assume 2 would make aaa and other two would be #1's in aa) but ended up being released back to community
