It would be tough on a 16 year old at this point. AJHL teams are limited on 16s they can carry and the ripples to Midget would be tough. The Buffaloes have currently carded a full set of players and an opening would have to be made available. It affects every level and community hockey will not be so understanding of letting a kid come out of quadrant. Both AA teams below the buffs are fully carded and would be releasing a player to community to make room for Mr. Kosterman. Very tough to do.
I would think 16s are around long term. Just my thoughts.
