Amateurism is slavery.
 
Every time a player skates for a coach (Lucia to MN) who didn't recruit him,
should he kiss his lucky stars?
 
College at any price? Four years can hold a lot of ifs.
 
Quotes from a really old (92-93) College Hockey Guide.
 
"Division 1 coaches have problems picking their teams"
"So, don't believe the coach who tells you will make the team at his school"
Warning! Beware the coach who makes guarantees"
"When you meet the coach wear appropriate attire"
"Don't take anyone's word for granted, ask for proof"
re: recruiting process, "unfortunately most spend more time researching the
purchase of a new car"
"don't belive the coach that tells you you will make the team for sure, when
he tells nine other guys the same thing just to get them in the door"
"ask them to prove it in writing"
 
Some of these are out of context.
REALLY a must see source/guide for players thinking of playing college hockey.
