Hey laws idk if you remember me but I was at winkler camp as a young gun when you were there the year after you left I ended up playing for them and then Kenny and Steve left and that’s when half of us left too was sad day but loved watching you in winkler hopefully I’ll be able to join up at souptown soon
Pants in D1 are generally always pro-stock, which is much more substantial than “retail” which most teams in D3 get…also, D3 teams generally don’t have brand reps dealing with individual players - but rather just ordering “retail” items in the needed sizes…then some customization like logos etc are added.
How many sticks do they supply? Do they only cover one stick, 2 sticks or constant resupply as you break them. Is it the same between D1 and D3? Nice video btw
Hey, Ive had constant resupply at D1 and D3, D3 they will have a smaller stick budget but if you don't break sticks every week you won't run into a problem. Thanks
Hey I honestly don’t know enough about D2 to give you a great answer. First of all if your playing college at D2 or D3 you will be past your draft year because your to old unless you went in early. Scouts don’t typically watch D3 or D2
Just found your channel today and binge watched all you videos. I work for True so if you ever need anything let me know and i can hook it up with a discount. Keep up the solid vids!
wait so they let you get whatever equipment you want for free? like sticks and skates or do you have to pay and like can you get other brands like ccm or does it only have to be bauer
Lawson McDonald ahhh ok, I see. That kinda sucks though. You probably could have been more value to the team but whatever happens happens. My cousin plays d3 and he seems to do well there. Is the difference in skill/ caliber of hockey noticeable between the divisions?

Hey Lawson, you may have heard Long Island University, LIU, is fielding a D1 team from scratch. Good luck.
I did hear about that, Thanks!

Corey Stormer hey man! Yeah I do remember! Thanks for the comment, let me know if you ever go to superior!
this was super informative and so well made well done brother
neos thank you!!
This is a great video man and I would love to do some skating with ya!! Great video
Sean thank you! I appreciate that!
Growing very quick I see. 1k soon
I think your stick is a bauer vapor flylite witch is actually a top of the line stick
Connor McJesus yeah your right, thanks!
Or could it be Vapor League? Like a team version of the flylite. Popular in Europe
AJ Autio I think it is a regular flylite because it didn’t have anything custom on it and i don’t think d3 has custom sticks
Connor McJesus it was definitely not a flylite, you can tell by the colors, it was a Bauer vapor 2.9
Connor McJesus it’s a Vapor flylight team

Can you make a video on why you went from D1 to D3?
AscendingShogun possibly!
This will be my first year playing as a Hockey player and in D2. I just wanted to ask if it's possible for scouts to draft D2 or D3 players?
Hey I honestly don’t know enough about D2 to give you a great answer. First of all if your playing college at D2 or D3 you will be past your draft year because your to old unless you went in early. Scouts don’t typically watch D3 or D2
Butterscotch Lolly I can almost guarantee that a scout going to a d2 game would be a once in a lifetime experience
There is no D2, only D1 and D3
@@TylerFeygin22 D2 is like the second team of a D3 school...
Sam there are two college hockey leagues, the ncaa and the achaa. The achaa has d2.
You ever play at the Ralph? im a senior at und this year and go to every hockey game so if you played against nodak I probably saw you play!
Sam B yes I played 4 games at the Ralph! Was always my highlight of the year going to that rink
@@lawsonmcdonald5396 crazy rink to play at as an opposing player tho probably
Sam B yes but fun!
What made you think it was a good idea to bump from D1 to D3?
Could’ve been education related
Hey man, question.
So, how different is the play when comparing D3 to D1?
I was told by a couple of buddy’s that it’s not that different.
Timmy Johnson it’s pretty different, the top teams in D3 could compete with bottom teams in D1 but not close to the top teams in D1
Lawson McDonald I figured that much. I just wanted someone’s opinion who played both.
I heard that d3 is a faster moving game than d1
new stick looks like a vapor league
It's called the flylite
Where do you come from? Just asking cause I play in Kentucky and I wanna go to the next level.
Lucas Mckale I’m from Manitoba Canada!
@@lawsonmcdonald5396 did you ever look at playing in the CHL then I would think is one level down from D1
hockey_GaBe- O'Brien you can’t transfer from NCAA to CHL
@@lawsonmcdonald5396 oh yah I know that but did you get asked to skate or anything for a CHL team
hockey_GaBe- O'Brien when I was younger I went to some camps but not much came out of it
What team did you play for finishing collage D1or D3
This is interesting because my friend plays d3 on the east coast and has to buy all of his stuff. You get it lucky.
Prob ACHA

Austin Leonard I might need some new skates!
@@lawsonmcdonald5396 just shot ya a follow on the gram, dm whenever youre interested
If I’m playin d3 hockey as a freshman is that a good start or is that a bad thing
Rabid_Fizz probably behind most people but it all depends how fast you can improve!
Witch to you play for Omaha or d3
Dreamteamtheclan D3! I used to play for Omaha
Why did u switch from d1 to d3?
Evander Smith there wasn’t a spot for me on my D1 team anymore so I went to D3 to take on a bigger role.
Noah Hammond they didn’t want me!
wait so they let you get whatever equipment you want for free? like sticks and skates or do you have to pay and like can you get other brands like ccm or does it only have to be bauer
jack wright it was all free, we had to be Bauer tho
how many sticks can you get D1 vs D3 per year?
Simon Charles Laferrière for me D1 unlimited D3 8 I think it was...depends on your teams budget
Lawson McDonald thanks for the reply man keep up the good work 💪🏻
WOW , they let you keep your gear?
Don Roy yes they did!
no shit
Ayyye Omaha my home team
Why'd you go from d1 to d3?
Didn’t have a spot anymore...
Why didnt you ask to get transfered
Probably would have had to sit out a year, not many options to choose from either
Do all D3 schools give players the gear?
Skates and sticks mainly?
Yes they will all get gear to some extent
Lawson McDonald Ok thanks bro I’m just talking to a school right now that I might attend so just wanted to get some confirmation on that.
Do you know if it’s possible to go from ACHA to NCAA D3?
Blake Strand I’m pretty sure that is possible
ayeee blaker queen bee
ok so did u go from D1 to D3?
Brendan Smith yup
wow seriously? any reasoning for it?
Brendan Smith that’s what I was wondering lmao
deaglan baltzel I explain why in my “body weight workout video”
It’s a Bauer flylite
No its a vapor league
Julian Hartl ok
You went from d1 to d3 why
Gabe Dershem lost my spot
Lawson McDonald sorry to hear that man hopefully u can get a spot for next year goodluck
Who the fuck calls em Breezers? I want names.
Omaha
Bad music
Nah Americans say pants to😂
That's totally like a Minnesota thing or something
Someone made your D1 team over you?
Not really, we don’t have tryouts or anything like that. I had 2 years left so there was a guy with 4 years left that they wanted instead
Lawson McDonald ahhh ok, I see. That kinda sucks though. You probably could have been more value to the team but whatever happens happens. My cousin plays d3 and he seems to do well there. Is the difference in skill/ caliber of hockey noticeable between the divisions?
Yes quite a big difference in caliber of hockey from D1/D3
Omaha
