It's nice to show how many the Aeros have sent to D1..but looking at that list I see a lot of girls who were developed in Leaside, Markham/Stouffville etc..so if we subtract those players who actually developed in another organization, the numbers would be surprisingly different.
There's a lot of pressure on organizations that develop players from within ( Novice to Bantam ) to take their own over imports. Teams like the Aeros would all be imports by this rule.
Lets recognize these facts when you are looking at what an organization has done for their players. The results might be a whole lot different if looked at from this point of view.
Posting what the Aeros have done only tells me they have good coaching, a province-wide reputation and recruit well...but they don't develop these players. Hats off to all the organizations that do.
This had to be said for fear people reading these stats would think the Aeros have given a lot to develop girls minor hockey. Their results are good..but by no means does it diminish what those other organizations have done. ..and in some ways it's not fair to compare these stats to make these judgements. |
