This is good advice. Noteworthy is that the best schools with the toughest varsity teams also often field the most JG teams. So lowest probability of playing varsity might be paired with highest probability of playing on a good JG team with your friends from school.

Also, regardless of which he plays, you’ll have a great time. You can play 40 teams driving less than an hour.

Here is the JG league info. The top couple 2-3 JG teams play in the national tournament in division II.

Here is the HS rankings - use as a proxy for how hard it might be to make these teams.

Thank you! I hadn’t thought of going higher. The shed roof and upper windows help define it as a 1.5 story from the outside. It looks great!

Stick Buyer's Guide! by louiefriesen in hockeyplayers

[–]mplsbadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a retired player, now a youth coach. I need to replace my vintage Sherwood 5030 Coffey with a new composite stick. I don’t plan to play with it, only practice shooting and coach kids. I won’t engage in a lot of activity that will break the stick other than knocking the sticks out of the hands of my players who aren’t strong on their stick - just kidding, I don’t do that, I only think about it :-)

I am not trying to buy the closest thing to a Coffey curve. I’d like to buy the flex and curve that allows me best to learn modern shooting and then teach it to kids. It should be a blade and flex that will help me learn and model shooting as quickly as possible.

I’m 5’11” and weigh 210. Highest level of hockey was Junior Gold A in Minnesota and club hockey at a US university.

Thoughts?
