Fascinating story on reality of OHL education packages vs NCAA

Re: Fascinating story on reality of OHL education packages vs NCAA

No one is paying the amounts claimed

Avg person pays 10 to 20 tops, many much less
Most players come from modest backgrounds and would pay ery little if anything
If making well over 6 figures+ , not an issue

If a kid is very high end and draft btype, go play hockey and go to college after
It is a farce what the teams tell the kids to take for classes

I know! It's such a joke! Why would they even allow Michigan Tech players to major in engineering? Why would so many Bulldog players major in accounting? Why would CC, Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Brown, Boston College, Boston University or Dartmouth even allow someone as stupid as a hockey player to attend one of their schools? And the All-Academic Team and Scholar Athlete awards... why do they even have them? It's not like they give them out!! How embarrassing.

What is a farce is that you are allowed to use the internet unsupervised. The only sentence I could actually understand is the last one, so it's the only one I responded to.

Yeah, hard to believe Notre Dame would allow players like Erik Condra to carry double majors in psychology and pre-professional studies (pre-med in Condra's case) at the same time they expect them to play hockey...

You can argue all you want about the relative merits of how well these young men are prepared for a potential NHL career in the OHL compared to the NCAA experience, but there is no way you can argue about the educational end of it.

Starting to see why so many posters have a problem with you...

Not talking about the average student athlete

Talking about the nhl draft types who will never stay four years

They should play hockey and always go back to school

Relax you two blowhards, Hillary is not listening

Actually all you posted was "It is a farce what the teams tell the kids to take for classes." Nothing about the average student-athlete.

I also love how whenever some certifiable idiot doesn't like something someone else posts, one of the first insults directed their way is some unknowing political jab. Had you known a little more about me you might be surprised to know my political leanings are hardly to the left. As if one's political beliefs have the slightest thing to do with the discussions, arguments and comparisons being raised by the rest of the reasonable folks posting in this thread anyway.

Like I said before, really starting to see why virtually everyone on here seems to think you are close to worthless. I will admit though to coming off as something of a blowhard. Especially when confronted by mindless little pipsqueaks like you who let off the steam of living a friendless existence via internet message boards.

Re: Fascinating story on reality of OHL education packages vs NCAA

I made a simple observation yyou loudmouth
Your the one who made it personal

Exactly why thev Ryan kid left BC after one week and record number of Americans in major junior
You can pretend the development models are close but they are not

If kid is an NHL draft, top 2 or 3 roundsd, go MJ. If not go D1. The price they claim you pay or save is all bs
Real cost is a fraction

You can go to school after you graduate

To the guy who listed a bunch of players, most of whom did not graduate, they will maybe go back after theuy retire

If you blow out your knee or get some other career ending injury first week of playing college hockey you still get your degree and the school will honor the scholarship.

If you get some of injury in first week of playing Major Junior your ****ed.

Re: Fascinating story on reality of OHL education packages vs NCAA

Because he realized college was not for him and he only wanted to play hockey
Can always go back to school, can't turn back the development clock
I am only talking high end first or second rd types
Avg kid should go d 1 and love it

I'm sure Ben Smith and Bobby Butler wish they blew off that lame school thing and played for some backwater Canadian program...:rolleyes:

Candyvan, do you realize how morbidly dumb you are sounding?

Why dont you simply go into the user feature on your profile and delete your profile? It would be so easy and would make everyone's life here so much better. I bet you'd do it if Warsofsky asked you to.

Better yet, he should walk to his laundry room and drink a gallon of Clorox bleach.
 
Re: Fascinating story on reality of OHL education packages vs NCAA

Do you ever read what you post? Was either a first or second rd pick? Smith was a late pick last year of eligibility
They did exactly what they should have done

Butler could always play as could smith
Long road ahead for smith, dont see nhl in his future
