Okay, so let me tell you about my day messing around with this Shattuck St. Mary’s hockey thing. I’ve been hearing about this school forever, and I finally decided to check it out myself.
First off, I tried to find out how many games these guys play. Turns out, the boys’ prep team plays like a ton of games, 50-65 games in a season that lasts seven months. That’s insane! The girls’ team isn’t far behind, they play around 55-60 games. These kids are on the ice non-stop!
Then I started looking into the school itself. I mean, it’s not just any school, it’s Shattuck-St. Mary’s. It’s got this huge campus, all woodsy and stuff, and a super nice sports complex. I guess if you’re gonna be a hockey star, this is the place to do it.
Next, I tried to get a feel for the whole recruiting thing, like how my friend’s son went through it. He told me about the hockey visits, which are by invitation only, and they only do like six a year. And let me tell you, they really check you out. My buddy said it was super intense.
- Tried to figure out the schedule.
- Looked into the school itself.
- Got the lowdown on recruiting.
I poked around on social media, too. I saw that the official Shattuck-St. Mary’s account has 27,000 followers. That’s a lot of people interested in this place.
So, after digging around all day, I realized that Shattuck-St. Mary’s is a big deal in the hockey world. They play a ton of games, the school is fancy, and the recruiting process is serious business. For the second year in a row, they are making a big impact on the ice hockey world. It makes sense why everyone’s talking about them.
