Hey guys, I posted here before (2002 F), and with the season winding down to an end, I decided to comment here because you guys give to seem to honest and useful feedback. After being told of the border situation, most local 18UAAA teams in my region were already signed, however there was one that was willing to sign me since one of their top players was injured. I went in and filled his role and managed to get on the powerplay and ended up with 1 point in 3 games, two of those against a top 13 nationally ranked opponent. However, after the third game, my state went into complete shutdown, and with the new year, the roster freeze was put into place, and thus I could no longer play with them. Currently, I am practicing for next season.
The OJHL team that previously invited me to training camp said they will invite me back to camp again next season. I've also recently contacted a CCHL team, which also said they will invite me to camp, and have me "push for one of those spots". My advisor told me to go this other camp in the west coast for more exposure.
I definitely feel that I can play at the Tier 2 junior level, as I can compete with a lot of kids that I practice with who play at the level or at the NCAA level. My family doesn't really don't have enough money to just throw everywhere, as only the OJHL team has invited me to camp for free. Do you guys have any advice moving forward towards this off season/camp season? Thanks for any input guys.
