What's if you just can't get by the politics and the kid is not given a chance ..
Teach him to stick his lip out and pound his fists to the ground. Seriously? You keep fighting and doing what you can to get him off season training and playing with best coach/team he can get onto right now. He'll either achieve what he wants one day, or he won't. Either way, valuable lessons learned. There are kids from Lightning C playing AA club ball and varsity HS ball right now, just stay with it. Politics magically go away when the balls start hitting the nets, or not hitting the nets if he plays defense!
