I'm all for there to be limited relief for college seniors and even those who are not seniors if they can show that they lost big opportunity by a fifth year returning (e.g., the junior goalie who now has a 5th year goalie returning) but to take away 10% (conservatively) of the roster spots for the 2022 kids is simply absurd.


Wonder what you would say if it was your kid, guessing something far different.


Exactly. It would be a different story if these 2022 parents had college sophomores.

Every one of us could post about all that our kids and their specific grad year will miss out on, this season and possibly future years. Most of us are better than that, but you know how there are always one or two of those families on every team who just don't get it...
