Does your birth month matter when trying to earn a spot on a competitive minor hockey team? Does it matter in the NHL?
The Globe and Mail weighs in on the issue with the author and the various posters of comments coming up with different conclusions based on the data.
In most communities, I'd bet the top tier teams are dominated by kids born in the first three or four months of the year from peewee through to major bantam. It might start to even out more during midget. Of course that could be because spots have been freed up by elite athletes moving to major junior and Jr. B teams.
If you're planning to raise an NHLer (and who isn't?), time the birth for March. Or to put it a way hockey dads can understand, just celebrate the Stanley Cup final with your wife.
No headaches in June, dear
