[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 612993, member: 14557"] DDD: From our point of view he is about as far as before. Still less than three hour flight away. He does know that one coach a bit. He has been consultant on some camps difficult child has attended and junior development programs he has been part of. More importantly that coach knows about difficult child, the good and the bad and likely also the ugly. And my guess is, that he is the one who wanted difficult child there for this stint. If he takes a liking to difficult child, it could be very good thing for difficult child's career. He has some major pull and while difficult child is not yet ready to be a permanent member of the team in the level he tends to work with, still good word from him, or even the fact that they took difficult child now, can help difficult child a lot in finding a good developmental place for next season. difficult child's last season was rough both on the field and out of it, that he was considered extremely risky choice last spring and that took him down quite a few pegs for posts he actually wanted to get in.
