I've been around CP for a long time, hosting the site for years before stepping away from my old role a few years ago. I haven't been too active since, but the thread about who you've met in real life got me thinking about some of the people I have met, which got me thinking I'd reach out and ask a few questions. I know a lot of you have coached extensively over the years, and have been active in the hockey community.

My soon to be 11 year old son really wants to play quadrant hockey next year. His catchment area is the Buffaloes. I don't know anyone there, unfortunately, but keep hearing that he needs to get involved in ID camps early, or to get to know the coaches so they can get to know him. I'm at a bit of a loss. I'll try and register him in their conditioning camp in August, but beyond that I have no idea. Some of his friends that would be trying for the Northstars are already in ID camps, so I feel I'm behind. Does anyone have experience and advice to share on helping their kids get involved in Quadrant? Any directions you can point me in? My goal is just to help him try, and help him take an honest shot at it.
