Attending the NE Sunshine provided Johnny (Frosh) with his first opportunity of what to expect in a showcase.
We went with a game plan of how to show well at a showcase, which took 6 mos of pre-showcase activity.
He did well enough that the local ACC team put him on their follow list.
The following year (Soph), he attended again and the improvement showed in the grades and “Confidence.”
ACC team invited him on an Unofficial Visit and he joined a Summer Team program in Va.
Leaving our region for Va was the best opportunity for him, since they played in Va and South. NOTE: A ton of travel, but we’re primarily a hockey family. Some will understand.
Did not need to attend after Jr year; switched to a Fla Summer Team and was recruited by SEC power house.
Based on the college recruiting and player level, we should have attended the Fla Sunshine.
Bottom Line, pay the fee to get a better gauge of his level and make a plan to improve.
That's an incredible course of events! Thank you for sharing it. Hearing it does give some food for thought!
