have chosen to stay back and are still hoping for a CIS or NCAA chance. For a number of reasons (improving grades and test scores which still can count even if you've graduated) adding or honing skills that were late to develop and so on, ther are girls who choose to play and play well, but yes they are in the minority. I've known a few that have done this with good results in that they are now playing CIS or NCAA hockey.
Don't sicount all 'older' players. The idea of a superannuated team is a good one as those that do stay back and are serious players is likely small. One problem is that they might not all come from the same area and distance could hamper them playing on the 'seniors+' team!
