Foff .. my kid is plenty good enough. He would put them over the op to beat the likes of St Mikes or UCC. Want to get 80% subsidized.

If he was that good you wouldn’t be so desperate, you’d have plenty of other offers. Sounds like the end of his career is in sight and you’re pressing the panic button. Good luck.

He has plenty of options at this point. Projected 1st/2nd round OHL pick. Three different USHL schools are interested. He will likely play either JrA in Canada or USHL to keep his NCAA eligibility open. Already has offers from two different US colleges. I was only trying to establish if sending him to play in St Andrews was another possible option. But it sounds like it won’t be in our family’s budget and that’s ok. That’s why I said if I can send him with a 80% discount I probably would for one year. Then he would play either OHL or USHL the following year.

What grade is your kid entering in September?

Entering grade 8

I should note that my kid skipped grade 7 because he is so smart. We could be getting another college commitment next week. If SAC can get to 90% then maybe we will consider letting them have my son play for the school.

My kid is special. Just need that 80% scholarship then ohl then ushl then ncaa who has already made their offers. It’s a process.

Nowhere close to a better team. They are so far apart in quality for hockey. Both schools are great - yes UCC probably more academic. Point isn’t what school is better, it’s where can I get a great education while playing elite level hockey
