Hockey Mom, I agree with you 100%, there are waaaaaaaaaay too many so called Tier 1 leagues more than willing to lighten a parent's pockets of anywhere from $5,000 to $9,000 a year as you probably know. I fear that my middle son (defenseman) a straight from High School to an ACHA D1 program (top 20 ranked this season) player was one of a dying breed. Funny you mention Navy one of his fromer high school team mates is a straight to College defenseman for them. But, for a real eye opener go the ACHA D1 site and look at the rosters for the top 20, very very heavy with Junior players who have aged out of Juniors. For a bigger eye opener, look at Liberty University's roster, very heavy with Canadian/former junior players.
