	PlayYourGame.com has always prided itself on providing you, our users, with the information that you need to achieve your goals. It has always been and will remain to be a fact that your careers as hockey players are going to be fraught with choice after choice and decision after decision. Having the information you need to make decisions is key, but more importantly, is your responsibility as athletes and parents to ask questions concerning your future and that of your child's. Having been in contact with thousands of players, we have seen first hand the results of not asking questions. We've seen and actually been players who forfeited their college eligibility, because they enrolled in a college during their junior years. We've seen players who have chosen the wrong teams to tryout for, when they had an array of options. Yet, the saddest of all the results are the players who not only wanted to keep playing, but also had the talent to keep playing, and for whatever reason, aren't playing. Through asking questions as both a player and parent, you are opening your eyes to your options. For too long, we seem to have been willing to fly blind with regards to where we were headed. We seem to just hope that, somehow, we will find our way to where it is that we want to go. Would you not agree that leaving your career or that of your child's up to that of luck and chance is an awful risk when you consider the fact that through asking questions you can often achieve some control. If your goal is to play junior and you have numerous teams interested, ask questions. If you have the desire to continue to play but don't know where or how, we strongly suggest that you simply ask questions. It's not only your right but also a necessity to ask questions so that you can have some control over the direction that you're traveling. We encourage you to keep this article in mind when you find yourself faced with a choice that you really don't know the answer to. Remember, "Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals."
