It seems to me that to make it on to the next level, welland is the ideal place to play minor hockey.
Todd Griffith- Kingston
Paul Bissonette- Pittsburgh NHL
Jamie Tardif- Peterboro OHL
Derek Brochu- Owen Sound OHL
Payton Liske- Owen Sound OHL
Nathan Martine- Barrie OHL
Daniel Girardi- London OHL
Justin Suda- Kinston OHL

Niagara Falls
Ryan Berard- Belleville OHL
Gary Friesen- Oshawa OHL
Andrew Marshall- Barrie OHL

St.Catharines
Jamie Heywood- Sarnia OHL

If population had anything to do with it then these numbers would be in reverse order.

If you want scholarships, it has to be to good d1 schools.

[Hockey fan]

Most of the players drafted from Welland AAA do not even belong in the O

How many of the 1988 "first round" draft picks from this area were even invited to try out for the Men's U18 ? Pretty odd that they are supposedly good enough to be drafted first round and not even get an invite to join the top 40 !!!!!!!!!!!

Another kid or parent jealous?

Dont forget to add:

Jordan Owens-MIssassauga Ice Dogs!!

to the list of very few Niagara Falls Players and soon you'll be adding Ryan Ludzik-Erie Otters as well!
