<p>Son has applied to most of the big NE state schools. Chose to apply to URI recently as other CC folks indicated it's admission criteria were a bit less stringent. Would appreciate any input on chances:
3.0 GPA
Virginia resident
25 on ACT
a few EC's</p>
<p>Also, I know they have an ice rink and club hockey. Does anyone have any insight into recreational and or/club options to play?<br>
Thanks!</p>
<p>My brother played on the roller hockey team when he went to URI. I know the guys on the team and I know they are definitely looking for incoming freshman to play on the club team. If he is interested, he should try out.</p>
<p>Ice rink is top notch, can’t say that about the coach. Team has always been ranked in the top 10 until this year. Coach has lost his passion and players are transferring and quitting. Every year they promise recruits that team is going D1, but it hasn’t happen in the past ten so don’t hold your breath.</p>
<p>Thanks…is the coach staying or are there new folks at the helm? Thanks!!</p>
<p>Thats a big ? at this time. Will tell you many kids show up at tryouts. Cost is roughly $1800-$2000 per season. URI also has a rec. league that many students participate in, only problem is games start at 11:00pm or later.</p>
<p>S has e-mailed the coach, hopes to meet with him when we visit on 3/29. Thanks for the info.</p>
