chippa13 1844 Report post Posted February 9, 2006 While it is still a decent tournament, it isn't the same as it was years back. It used to be one of the premier showcases for New England/Eastern US high school talent. However, those who run it have gotten greedy and have included more and more teams, watering it down a little. That said, if you attend and make a name for yourself, you can definitely get noticed by D1 and major junior programs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
