Express definitely challenges themselves, venom doesn’t. I think Surge now Tritons, played a more difficult schedule last year

Good morning! Looking for some suggestions/advice on showcases. Saw it on the old thread. As we all having kids entering 10th grade next year, I was always told that's the time to enter some showcases/camps, etc.
1) are there any that you'd recommend?
2) are they worth it?
3) do specific colleges offer camps for kids who may be interested in attending their schools?
4) is it necessary?

Players weren’t the problem last year. They had a great Fall season then many of the starters including the faceoff guy got hurt. Couldn’t win a faceoff the rest of the year, impossible to win when you can’t get possession and on top of that you have a short bench.

Agreed, 91 worries too much about rankings of their top teams so they pick and choose tournaments where they can influence their schedule more. Coach C will put Express up against anyone at anytime, he may hurt your wallet while doing that though.

Speak to the coaches, directors, or owners of your son’s club team, as well as his high school coach. The advice should be better than you will receive here.

Let me say this in my opinion and experience. Do not go at this age. Don’t justify it by saying “hey just want me son to get experience at a showcase”… just not worth until the end of 10th grade.
