badsk8ter 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2005 Something like that. But not just "a" hockey team, they are coached by Zach Parise's dad, a former NHLer with the old North Stars. Plus, they play alot more games than a regular, high school hockey team. Their length of season and games played is more similar to a junior level league and they travel nationally to play. Most of their recent top players have gone on to either play in the CHL (like Sidney did), the US national development team or D1 college level (NoDak has and had several players that played for Shattuck). The school has their own website, just google it for more info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sherwood21 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2005 he only went there 9th and 10th grades Not true, he went there in Gr. 10, his sophomore year. He played for Subways in Gr. 9.It's a prep school with a strong hockey program, that's all. There's lots of good schools like Shattuck. I'm going to play them this year, we'll see how that goes..

Jim A 4 Report post Posted October 12, 2005 there are a ton of teams a SSM aren't there? More than the avg prep school...I thought they were more of the independent a la Northwood in the late 80's when they had guys like Richter, Therien, just about everyone on their '88 squad played D1..but they played colleges, Jr squads anyone they could..since they were in Placid and not in the traditional MA, CT areas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twiztidwrista10 3 Report post Posted October 12, 2005 Ya it was SSM. I know a couple kids that went there and still go there. The money to go there is just rediculous. We played there bantam AA team last year and beat them and played there tier 2 midget minor team this year and tied them. Bastards tied it up with 18 seconds left.

Cavs019 710 Report post Posted October 13, 2005 You sure? He said he's playing on the preps but is on the second highest squad there, so he might have meant varsity. He's only an '89 so his future is REAL bright. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
