If you’re short your kid will be short 98% of the time. Most kids are the size of their wife’s father. This is as good a tool as any piece of bull.

I think you are confusing male baldness with the wife's father....you are a total tool buddy!

Hockey development for dummies- okay here you go Einstein , it is NOT about short or tall at this age. It is about maturation. The magic number is the percentage an athlete is of full adult statue (FAS). For example , an athlete that is at 99 % FAS has a massive advantage over an athlete that is at 87% FAS. It is like sending a team of 17 year olds to play against your current 13 year old. Your kid would get slaughtered, unless of course he is the next Orr or McDavid, then he would do okay. Unfortunately, I have not seen this kid in the 2011 cohort !

When your boy reaches greater than 95% FAS you see a jump in performance. For many reasons that are not worth trying to explain to you.

Can you expand on this?

They just did!

Observations from studies of the relative age effect provide some additional insights. Youth soccer players enrolled in the talent development program of the German Football Association who were born in the first quarter of the competitive year (January–March) presented the highest absolute mean values on a composite index of athletic aptitude (85). However, the scores fell below the median value for age when compared against the developmental curve for age, that is, the oldest players performed the best within their age group but were the weakest when evaluated relative to the developmental curve. Conversely, players born late in the competitive year (October–December) presented the lowest mean scores within their competitive age groups, yet scored well above the median when considered relative to the developmental curve. The largest differences in absolute athletic aptitude scores were observed between those players born at the start of the competitive year and the players born a month earlier (i.e., December) in their next oldest age group. The observation is seemingly consistent with the “underdog hypothesis,” which suggests that younger and/or later maturing athletes need to be physically, technically, and psychologically “ahead of the curve” to remain competitive within such programs (34). The results also suggest that older and/or early maturing males get by on their physical prowess rather than their technical or tactical abilities.

So coaches that want an elite professional athlete on their resume one day, here are you best odds it is obvious. I hope the irony of chasing wins is not lost on you.....that is why you have OHL level guys on your resume!
