Anybody with more experience and knowledge care to give some context to us relative novices about these different leagues? Quality, competitiveness, etc. etc.?
This topic fascinates and confuses me as well. Fortunately, there are plenty of resources in this forum who know a thing or two, and much more, about it!!Anybody with more experience and knowledge care to give some context to us relative novices about these different leagues? Quality, competitiveness, etc. etc.?
Considering the results from last night (Trinity's roster is nearly entirely non-Jr.) where would the NE Preparatory School "system" rank among the Jr Hockey leagues?
A Majority of the player's on Trinity played Jr. hockey. Don't go by the NESCAC team's roster's because they have a tendency to only list the high school the player attended as their last team. For instance goalie Alex Morin played for the Islanders Hockey Club of the USPHL but they have his last team listed as The Northwood School. Prep hockey is pretty good but doesn't put a ton of high end players straight into college. There are exceptions but it's not the rule.Considering the results from last night (Trinity's roster is nearly entirely non-Jr.) where would the NE Preparatory School "system" rank among the Jr Hockey leagues?

. . Since Matt Greason took over they have shifted from mostly prep to mostly junior players. The prep players do make very good role players though and many do eventually develop into pretty solid offensive talents as well. Teams that are made up of a good mix of players from different leagues and used properly in their roles are the ones that have the most success.
Thanks for the insight. I was a bit confused at the game reading through the roster and seeing ONLY prep schools listed.Since Matt Greason took over they have shifted from mostly prep to mostly junior players.
