Minor Hockey Talks - Hockey Forum

So it’s our first year on a A level team, previously played at a higher level squad but was cut as the team was blown up. Now your kid is clearly playing at the proper level and a solid player on a good team. How do you explain to your kid that “he is just not a good fit”. Coach says he’s a strong player and has progressed well throughout the season but he’s just not a good fit. There a two players who are clearly less talented at the same position that are coming back. Both players new to the team as well. Both parents with generational type wealth, where I’m just a blue collar working stiff. I think it’s our family that’s not the right fit. How’s he going to react? I think he will just realize that this is just a bunch of bulls$it and who needs it. I always thought playing in the gthl would mean athletic talent superseded money or cliques. So he has four other offers to play in the division but his heart is so hugely invested in this team. Should I wait to the end of the playoffs to tell him or tell him now?
