My kid and some of his buddies are being recruited and looking at their options now. Mostly they want to go "somewhere warm" or a big name school. Makes it hard for UB to compete.

UB's biggest problem. If a team like UCF, Middle Tennesse St, or a small Texas college come calling with the same offer, UB is going to lose because the weather.

Hysterical, and the same person who says that then goes on to talk about football and the draft. The kind of person who wants to win the cup and draft #1 overall at the same time.

Yeah I went through it with my oldest boy. Take them to a school with girls wearing winter jackets and hats and haven't seen the sun in a month, then take them to a school like ASU and and the girls are all tan and wearing shorts and tank tops, which do you think a teenage boy is going to pick. The only reason the oldest is still in WNY is he got a full scholarship where he only got a partial in Arizona.

So my year in the mites makes me an expert? Good to know. Sending my resume with a pic of me at the Cheektowaga town rink to Patty right now. Heard he's looking to hire.

Should have made him play hockey. Buffalo has some of the nicest weather of all the powerhouses. Those warm weather colleges of Maine, North/South Dakota, Boston, Minnesota, Wisconsin.

Only issue with that and I still cant wrap my head around it is Buffalo does not have a big time hockey school. It's a shame really.

Yes, NU is pretty respectable but it sure would be nice to have WNY as the American destination for young players. With the new Harbor Center we could host a bunch of Tourny's.

Still think ive not lived to potential. J Crew U at Miami Oxford built a fast pace top notch squad.

Edit; sadly thats NU's best sport and as you can see by them dumping the womens hockey team for lax you see where their loyalties lie

I think after the harbour center is finished and they start having college and world tourneys here along with NHL all star games you will see a rise in the NU, Canisius talent level.

Not really for the college level. The new feature rink isn't even supposed to seat 2,000. It's still going to be too small for anything really big.
