Wow!!! Where is Dante Bichette, Jr.? I cannot believe he wasn't good enough…He was good enough to be named a HS All-American by BA, but not good enough for the 18U team…hmmmmmm

Elvin Soto, representing NY, this kid is great.
 

Not always the best players are chosen or decide to play for USA. Some players are pre-determined.The process  is not always a fair one.

Its not always a fair process
