Just found this site recently. Has really opened my eyes. I have already read a ton of stuff. Great stuff. I understand my 2016 son needs to focus on grades and playing as much as posible. I see that its really too early to go to showcases. There is a school nearby that has a showcase and its relatively inexpensive. Would it serve any purpose in going? My thoughts are it would give him unbiased, accurate times so he knows where he is at. Also it would give him an early taste of what it is like. But obviously even though he is skilled he's not anywhere near the juniors and seniors who will be there. So I guess I am really asking would it do more harm than good or be a waste of money?
