Another awesome video Braeden ! Well done. Can you please make a video or advise how to get from Tier 3 Junior to Tier 2 ? It seems like playing Tier 3 Junior/ Canadian B closes options of getting into NCAA D1. My son is now 18 and playing in EHL . He dreams to play NCAA D1 but has to climb to NAHL /BCHL/NCDC first. Thank you !
Hi Mark, glad you liked the video! And that’s honestly a great topic to talk about, added it to the list. To give you the short answer though, in order to make that kind of jump in Jr. hockey, the player has to have a great season in the lower end league.
@@ahadvising8 Thank you ! I can't agree more . And would appreciate if you touch this topic in the future , in particular what showcases to attend to be noticed by NAHL.
The NAHL combine is by far the best as all the NAHL teams are watching at that event. It’s funny you mention this since it’s a topic that’s been on our list for a while. Look out for the video about this in a few months!
Yes they are definitely tough to compare, as you probably saw in the video. They both have pros & cons, and every person has a unique situation, so it’s tough to make a general video like this one.
Yes I would like to hear about the CSSHL and I also want to hear about the BCEHL, that’s the league I play in. These leagues are the only AAA leagues in BC and so I would like to see a comparison
Well since the average age for an NCAA D1 freshman is 21.5 now a days according to the NHL network I think that most have to go play juniors first. Unless you are a Blue chip prospect then it doesn't matter
Yes that’s true, but know that most NCAA D1 commitments happen at the prep and AAA level age. So, the program you pick before even considering Jr does matter
Depends on their age. If a player is playing at a lower level when they’re younger, they have time to work their wat up to a higher level. On the other hand, if a player is playing at a lower level when they’re older, they have less time to work their way up. All that said though, letters do matter, but players should never let letters define their future success.
@@ahadvising8 I have 10 year old identical twin boys going into their first year of peewee. “A” tryouts are on the horizon. Thank you for the reply, sir!
@@ahadvising8 I'm not sure I agree with you, respectfully. The vast majority of kids playing D1 hockey were at the AAA level by the time they were squirts & as such, by the time they're college-aged they've been playing against top competition for nearly a decade. Additionally there's a HUGE difference between the quality of coaching & volume of ice time between PeeWee A & AAA. I don't say this to be discouraging, but rather to say this is probably the last chance the OP's kids will be able to make up a skill deficit between themselves & AAA players, by the time they're 15/16 it will be too late.
@@justinwaites2630 I'd take a look at my comment, I love this channel & I don't meant to suggest this guy is misleading anyone but it's necessary to be brutally honest. Your kids have 3-4 years AT BEST to get to AAA caliber if they're seriously looking to play D1. The good thing is it's definitely doable, particularly if they're hungry & you can find the right coaches to correct whatever deficiencies they have. To be clear, I'm not saying "deficiencies" to be discouraging as I've seen star players in A programs who left & DOMINATED AAA Hockey, just saying if they lack certain skills they're young enough to fix their issues. The main thing is it's DEFINITELY possible for them to jump to higher levels now but they have to do it NOW. By the time they're 15-16 it's almost an insurmountable deficit they'd have to overcome, as the coaching, volume of ice time & caliber of competition is FAR better in AAA programs.
There are scholarships available for players in more financially challenging situations. Plus, if the player is really good and multiple programs want him, they’ll offer a great deal
@@ahadvising8 my daughter is a great player but we can only afford public highschool or town teams. All of the decent players end up playing for club or go off to prep school. She is the only decent player who has stayed and no-one is coming to her school or town team to scout or recruit.
Typically this is a bit more individualized work since there are many programs out there. We do this with our clients, but on TH-cam, it wouldn’t be realistic

A year late but has he made it?
has he climbed any yet?
Idk if you can really compare the 2. AAA seems to be more of a stepping stone for preschool and NCAA being the main goal.
Yes they are definitely tough to compare, as you probably saw in the video. They both have pros & cons, and every person has a unique situation, so it’s tough to make a general video like this one.
Have you spoke about the CSSHL?
Not ye no, might make a video on it in the future if the demand is there!
@@ahadvising8 Thank you!
Yes I would like to hear about the CSSHL and I also want to hear about the BCEHL, that’s the league I play in. These leagues are the only AAA leagues in BC and so I would like to see a comparison
Future video may be coming in the future if we decide to break down different prep and AAA leagues!
What programs on both side put the most kids into ncaa???
Shattuck most likely for Prep, AAA depends but probably of of the ones in the Tier 1 Elite league. We’d have to break it down to know for certain
@@ahadvising8 it would be interesting to see where most kids come from in ncaa
For sure, potentially a detailed analysis we could do in the future!
If your playing 18u and your not in Jrs you most likely won’t make it NCAA
Yes and no. There’s still a good shot to make NCAA D3. For NCAA D1, it’s unlikely, but we’ve seen it happen before
Best scholarships for prep hockey schools, highschool sophmore
Hard to say the “best” ones as they vary, but different schools can provide different amounts of aid!
Well since the average age for an NCAA D1 freshman is 21.5 now a days according to the NHL network I think that most have to go play juniors first. Unless you are a Blue chip prospect then it doesn't matter
Yes that’s true, but know that most NCAA D1 commitments happen at the prep and AAA level age. So, the program you pick before even considering Jr does matter
How much do letters (B, BB, A ,AA ,AAA) matter to the long term success of a hockey player?
Depends on their age. If a player is playing at a lower level when they’re younger, they have time to work their wat up to a higher level. On the other hand, if a player is playing at a lower level when they’re older, they have less time to work their way up. All that said though, letters do matter, but players should never let letters define their future success.
@@ahadvising8 I have 10 year old identical twin boys going into their first year of peewee. “A” tryouts are on the horizon. Thank you for the reply, sir!
Yeah at that age don’t sweat it with the letters. Best of luck to them!
@@ahadvising8 I'm not sure I agree with you, respectfully. The vast majority of kids playing D1 hockey were at the AAA level by the time they were squirts & as such, by the time they're college-aged they've been playing against top competition for nearly a decade.

It’s all such a rat race. What about kids who don’t have the money to get into any of these programs?
There are scholarships available for players in more financially challenging situations. Plus, if the player is really good and multiple programs want him, they’ll offer a great deal
@@ahadvising8 my daughter is a great player but we can only afford public highschool or town teams. All of the decent players end up playing for club or go off to prep school. She is the only decent player who has stayed and no-one is coming to her school or town team to scout or recruit.
We’d recommend reaching out to programs yourself with a highlight video, or have an advisor do it for you in this case
If you could pleasr share sites or links related to scholarship applications for highschool prep schools ?
Typically this is a bit more individualized work since there are many programs out there. We do this with our clients, but on TH-cam, it wouldn’t be realistic
