--I agree, its a decision that the student/athelete has to make and he
has to make the best descision he can for himself- what ever it is- its
still his decision and should be his only....
 
---Eric Lindros - took some classes at the best business school in
Canada,  University of Western Ontario, during the lockout last year.
 
--Steve Larmer - who just recently retired is attending a community
college in Southern Ontario.
 
 
----Hockey players that have played in the NHL, College or Major
Junior-levels
have opportunities just by playing at that level.  Coaching,
Broadcasting, Scouting, etc....
---or they can go back to school...
---or they can go into business for themselves....
 
-they have quite a few opportunities and many choices so I wouldn't say
they are closing any doors by not getting that degree before...
 
 
-In any case, I think he made the right decision......
