I agree that the crazy week night USHL scheduling is a bit demanding on the high school students.

I also thought the USHL Central scouting article was a blatant attempt by Bob T to further his personal agenda. He's clearly telling kids to go USHL / NCAA, citing his "ballpark" statistics... 35% of kids who... maultiplied by 4 birth years.... minus a Russian. Let kids make up their own minds as to where they want to play and what roads they want to run down, a million different reasons come into play - I don't like articles that suggest one option is best for everyone - college, or life in the US is not for everyone.

It's essentially the sme talk he gave the kids & parents at the last MWEHL mm showcase event.

as a parent, I listened and took it with a grain of salt - everyone comes at things with their own agendas/biases, just have to be able to sort thru it.

Bigger question to me - should high school students even be playing Jrs if education top priority?

From what I understand many teams work closely with the high schools so even if they miss classes the aren't missing the work. Granted this might not be the case for all USHL teams.
