Hello, we are showcasing our son at every single tournament we can get him into this summer.. still no triple a calls. Every weekend is just non stop games, weight lifting, stretching, and studying film.
His shot is best of class in the division but we can’t even get a u18 triple spot. He’s 6 foot 1 and 185lbs pure muscle. He should be about 6’4 by the time he’s in grade 12.
Prep school or triple? He’s determined to make the NHL but we need a path to go down. He goes to a world class private school in the GTA where there’s ice time everyday.
I don’t know what we have to do to get a spot. He’s been stuck in double for years. We’re sick of all these single A guys coming up every year, it’s ruining his mojo.
Any advice on how we can secure a spot before September?

Buddy, do you think you're the only one trying to break into AAA? Welcome to the club. My kid’s been lighting it up for 5 years & the top scorer, MVP, first on and last off the ice and guess what? Still waiting on that golden ticket too.
Every weekend is a road trip, gym session, and game film like we’re running an NHL combine. Meanwhile, half the A kids are somehow skating into spots like it’s open season.
You're not alone , talent’s not the problem. Politics, timing, and a whole lot of who you know? That’s the game. Keep grinding, but yeah… we’re all right there with you.
