Help us petition the CIAC to allow High School Aged Players to play both Junior/Club Hockey and their High School teams. This is the practice in NY and the rest of the Northeast (Rhode Island is the exception). The CIAC has not entertained this thought. The current practice has decreased the level of play in both HS Hockey as well as Bantam Hockey. A change in the Rule for the 2015-2016 Season will greatly improve the quality of HS Hockey in Connecticut. Most importantly this puts all of CT's players at a disadvantage in comparison to the rest of the country.
I have been playing hockey my entire life and I have been apart of both Junior hockey and currently high school hockey. Being able to play for both would not only increase the talent level in high school hockey, but it would also give an opportunity for players to improve their skills while being able to experience the thrill of playing in front of your friends and family in a friendly school to school manner.
