The Elite League’s Stay and Play Model Works

"The Elite League and MN High School Hockey have a proven track record of elite development and producing NHL caliber players, as such, the need to leave these programs early in order to properly develop is a myth, and unnecessary. Getting to the NHL is a marathon and not a sprint, remaining with your high school program is highly unlikely to hinder your development, and provides you with the benefits of graduating with your class while playing in the strongest 16-18 year old league in North America.  I believe VERY strongly about MN HS hockey and the Elite League."
