"Hey player, if you're good enough to be playing at the highest level, don't worry, your college and other opportunities will be forthcoming."
Fools gold advice.
The reality is.......90% if not more of recruiting contacts that my son and his teammates/friends got came out of his participation in "Elite" events. Disney, Academy Showcases, etc.
Truthfully, if you play on a SCSCL team your odds of being recruited to play at a D1 level aren't very good. Not impossible, but not very good. If you aspire to play at a D1 level you better be at event like the above, or have a really good "in" somewhere. To tell a kid otherwise is foolish or worse.
