Hockey divisions

There aren’t a lot of divisions in hockey, but there are still enough to know. There is house league, AE, AA, AAA, junior, OHL and finally the NHL. These categories are very much different, on much different levels then other ones. House league is mostly for kids that just enjoy the sport of hockey, that just play it for fun, don’t really expect to go anywhere. AE is for players that still don’t plan to go anywhere, but that love the competition and a more difficult playing field with contact. AA is for players that look to have a small future in hockey, more experienced and who’ve been playing their entire lives. AA players are much more skilled then a regular player, that practice from time to time and are much smarter with the puck. AAA is pretty much, top of the line players that all they do for a living is hockey, and they practice everyday and are incredibly skilled. Junior is for players who get drafted from AAA and are trying they best to get spotted by someone to get drafted into the NHL. You have to be really good to get into juniors; you have to be pretty much the best at everything. Passing, shooting, reading the play, slap-shot wrist shot etc…Finally, the NHL is for the best of the best, one out of twenty will get in, they don’t just look for good, they look for someone who can score goals, create plays, almost without even trying.
