Re: I don't disagree with some of your points, but

That is true, that eveyone has a choice--- and it was her's to play IAA, not mine.

She wanted to play MAA in her major BAA year--I said no I felt that she was not mature enough--skill level was not the issue. She was only challenged in a handfull of tournament games last year--coasted thoughout leauge play.

She was the one that stated she did not want this again in MAA. Skill level she will be challenged more at IAA --she will not be the go too girl this year and she is ok with that. Her skills are there--I want to keep her motivated and playing IAA is what she wants and she understands the grades must stay up.

I am not worried about her hockey at 18--I want her motivated for the next couple of years and IAA will provide that. Her skill level will carry her to hockey at the next level if that what she wants. I just want her to go to university and right now it is playing at the highest level that is keeping her focused.

As I stated before there are good MAA teams and She was thinking about the MAA Aeros but the distance and more so the travel time was to long. The clincher for her to play IAA was when a bunch of first year BAA girls she knew and we average BAA players had committments from MAA teams.
After that she said to me why play midget--so it is the system to many MAA teams so they are filled withy the better first year BAA players--eveything gets watered down. Eliminate teams then girls will play in their age group because it will be competitive.
