This issue appears to be solved by the management of the CPC. They have decided to send this player to CCHL2 in Arnprior. #Development?, #investing in CPC Future?, investing in players future? #Teaching, #Just bring in better players
He is 16-years old. Carleton Place is one of (if not) the top team in Eastern Canada. They sent him down to a team at the Tier 2 level where he will play top 4 minutes against players older then him on one of the top teams in that league. He will practice with CP, he will practice with Arnprior, he will play 2-3 games per week (Plenty of ice)
I am sure this player could probably play full-time for about 10 of the other teams in the CCHL, but he plays for the three-time defending champions, instead of losing him altogether, CP loans him to an organization they partner with, a team they have 2 of their Affiliate defensemen already, one also being an OHL draft pick and the same age. They can now affiliate him for 10 games and if there is an opening due to injuries then he will get his chance. End of the day, he is 16-years old, I've witnessed handfuls of players join Junior at 17... even 18 and still get Division 1 scholarships. There is no rush. For you to question the decisions by this team just shows your complete lack of knowledge of Junior Hockey.
