Your credibility just hit rock bottom. Ehl alone gets 120 players a year into d3 schools.

Prove it

Do a little research. EHL year after year provides numerous players to Div 3. Predominantly a 19 and 20 year old league.. They know what they are and do it well. Quite expensive though.

Numerous??? Thought you said 120?

Div 3 hockey, do you think this offers value and is worth the expense?

Actually the number was over 160. EHL is geared to 19-20 year olds wanting to play college hockey and has a good history of league management. D3 hockey has some amazing programs (the top 10-15 could beat the lower end D1s). The quality of the hockey is very good and getting better. I don't think people realize how hard D1 is to get into for Canadians. The US is cranking out players in at an insane pace. I am hearing more kids looking at ACHA Div 1 (also known as club hockey). Whether or expensive or not depends. I know if a player has a 3.5+ GPA, there is more aid (merit) money. Point being, lots of options for kids and don't think they are too expensive. Parents and kids need to realize there are many junior options.

So you have non8dea how many players get D3 commits!? 120, over 160, let's just throw out any number and have people accept it.

My friend's son got a D3 offer. School is $45 K US a year. They gave them 15$k. $30 K US, then health insurance, and other expenses and it's about $42K Cdn a year. Hockwy is ok at best and school is a big unknown. Then you add in travel to get home twice a year, sure bud that's worth it.

Even D1 schools in the US, some are very low quality academically.

If a kid is being asked to pay $30K for D3, here are the factors: Parents make too much to get more, player is not wanted that badly, or is not strong academically. No one is forcing you to go. As for travel, tons of D3s are within 5-6 hour drive of Ottawa. EHL number was 164 I just found their site (wasn't too hard). Yeah some D1's suck academically too. You do your homework.

D3's don't offer athletic scholarships. The hockey isn't good. You're going to overpay, for bad hockey and questionable schooling.

You mean no name players, playing in a no name league. check the stats for these players and where they played. NO quality there. D3 schools aren't offering much to play hockey there. $30 K Canadian is low for the cost to go D3, and it's nowhere close to being worth it.

Why not jump on the NCDC train? Tell us your experience there.

D3s offer financial aid and merit based. The hockey is very good. Maybe go to a game before commenting. And schooling/ Some of the top D3 programs are considered mini-Ivys and you need over 1300 on SAT to attend.

Bowdoin, Amherst, Hamilton, Skidmore, Colby....etc... Your ignorance is truly showing. They won't offer much to a kid with 2 GPA. and you really think D1 are giving full scholarships? Only a handful per team. Ivy's are all need based.
