Topic:  Which is worse, recruiting foreigners to play college puck in the
U.S.or recruiting 20-year old freshmen from juniors.
 
Thoughts from a psycho-lunatic hockey mom:
 
Who wants an education and is willing to play -- and work and study?
 
Seems to me if a "junior" has finally seen the light (.. that he might need to
be prepared for life after hockey .. ) why should he be penalized?  An
education IS valuable and, sad as it is, hockey does end -- sometimes much too
soon!
 
As to "foreigners" -- Isn't the good ole U.S. of A the Land of Opportunity?
Some of my  distant relatives landed at Plymouth Rock . . . but they were
foreigners to the natives!  Weren't we all foreigners at one time?
 
If you're good, you're good -- regardless of age.  Talent -- and heart --
always win out!  I vote for the guy who has a work ethic!  And that
trandscends "juniors" and "foreigners"
 
Take off, eh?!
