Arthur wrote that Nan was confusing Jr. B with Jr. A, When in fact Arthur was confusing Junior hockey with MAJOR JUNIOR. As mentioned major junior is either the QMJHL, OHL, WHL. If one really delves into the rosters of NHL teams, they will find that the OHL sends the most players to the NHL.Jr Hockey in the US is probably the one way that many college players have taken on their journey through the leagues. A player myself who was faced with the question of playing juniors before going to school, I chose to go straight out of high school to college. Unfortunately, the program I was to play for, St. Bonaventure Univ., was cut just before my graduation date. I wished looking back on it that I did play jrs. instead of trying to make the step straight into college. I, like many highschool players, was un-educated as far as the *best* hockey decsions for me. Now having transfered schools to play club hockey and sitting out a season have realized that either Prep School Hockey or Junior Hockey is the way to go before college. The college game is much faster and stronger than most people think, it takes dedication, development, and hard work to become some- thing. Many people do not even get to fulfill their childhood dreams of skating in the NHL.Just a note, if a player is not sure what to do, think before you jump so to say, with all the NC$$ restrictions, one bad move can wreck a great potential college career. Be carefuland talk to some one who can lay it down straight. Best of luck and sorry for the length, Nathan Bennett #4 West Virginia Univ./St. Bonaventure next season
