As far as the FREE Recruiting Presentation goes, I thought that it was informative and well put together. It did not seem "salesly" at all, which was great! ...Why did I ask for your help? I encourage all of the players to think about playing beyond high school, be it at the collegiate or club level. What people did for me in allowing me to play college hockey (to top it off, on scholarship) meant so much. However, I am not as knowledgeable as to how to contact multiple schools and represent the kids as my opportunity came to me. That is where I felt that I could learn (and the kids would benefit) by having you meet with us.
