Yep - Hockey.
So what is the purpose of this posting? Well a student-athlete has a choice between a youth hockey game and a high school hockey playoff game. Which one is he/she going to choose?
I'm not going to answer this directly, but by offering up a parable.
They don't do 10 year reunions for youth sports. However, they do have them in high school. So imagine, you chose the youth hockey game/tournament over your high school. The high school team lost and with it, went their chance for playing for the state title.
Ten years later comes your high school reunion. You may have gone on to a successful NCAA career, and who knows, maybe played some pro hockey. But how do you answer the question "We would have won if you were there."?
When you win a State title, you are gods of the school the next day. Do very well for your youth team over the weekend and nobody in school cares.
So you have a choice. It's yours to make. Decide wisely.
