The thing is, you are losing two, three or four years of your pro career to go the NCAA route. Your pro hockey window is very limited, you can always get your education once you are done.
It is like backwards priorities. Are kids getting bad advice? Sounds like it to me.
Because every player to ever play in the NCAA or CHL gets into professional hockey right? Some kids LIKE having a back up, just in case they're not the next big thing . And it's easier to fit in to the university atmosphere when you're a teenager/20s than in your 30s or 40s.
