I think the player profiles is a great idea and a way to get the word out on players and their achievements.
I know that the recent poll question about if games get announced in school resulted in an overwhelming "no" is sad. These kids work hard and the fact that the schools won't even announce games, scores, etc., is a shame! "Are you listening?" school administrators. Although it is not a sanctioned sport in this area, I am very bitter with the school administrators who turn their cheek on their students' achievements on the ice. Ice Hockey is a team sport and these kids pull together to play as a team and wear their school colors, with pride, only to be ignored -- as if they don't exist -- by the school administration. And it doesn't seem like anything can be done about it, either!
The fact that SJSports Online will showcase a few players every other week is a nice way to recognize the players' talents. It's not appreciated by the School Administrators, so it's nice to see someone else is making sure they get the recognition they deserve. Thank you SJSports, thank you.
