A Chip on Your Shoulder

Boy are you lost in left field.
While some truly Intermediate-aged girls (especially those already pursuing post-secondary programs) have been very strong, mature role models and valuable leaders on various PWHL teams, I have unfortunately seen and heard of many more cases where their influence on their respective teams has been more negative: without such hockey/educational aspirations, their commitment to the necessary work ethic was weaker, their level of hockey interest and drive primarily social, and their passion for off-ice partying more pronounced.
I have seem this in Int.AA and M-AA also, and to lable Intermediate aged players nothing more than a parting team you have looked at the wrong end of the spectrum. Most I-AA (midget aged players) are there because of their parents asperations and egoes and wallets. Tallent is what it is and most of the parents I would not give the time of day to, with their nosses up in the air and their precious little daughters snot nose attitudes. And no I do not have a daughter playing. I watch the sport because it is there to watch and with the Areos they are the worst parents in hockey. So keep spending tens of thousands of dollars on your precious little girls every year to get a scholarship worth half of what you will finally spend (if you are luckey)and see what your daughter will get out of it. You people seem to forget why we as Canadians play hockey. Yes ou should strive to be the best you can be but come on folks pushing these girls and having them believe hockey is everything all year round.
