<p>I am from southern california, not a hotbed for ice hockey. I am passionate about the game and would love to play at Div 111. I have met with some NESCAC coaches and sent them tape. Any other ideas of how to get myself better known since it is difficult for coaches to assess play on the left coast. My first goal is obviously to get accepted understanding that I am not going to be one of the coaches admission picks. I also felt that hockey might enhance my chances but I need to highlight myself without becoming annoying</p>
<p>Most of the players in NESCAC played at prep schools in the east. The others have been on "AAA" teams such as Team Illinois(Chicago), Honeybaked(Detroit), or Junior Devils(New Jersey) etc. California has a great "AAA" program called the Wave. If you haven't been playing at least at this level, it is going to be tough to play, even for D-III.</p>
