What a very cool story - the first real sign that youth hockey is making an impact in hockey. The OHL is considered the top, or one of the top junior leagues in the world, so to make a team is a pretty big feat.
Whether this is the signal that the Raleigh/Triangle youth hockey leagues will start increasing the number of high-level youth teams or the advent of college hockey, remains to be seen.
As I've said in the past, North Carolina, and the NC/VA/MD region in general, is really a hockey hotbed waiting to happen, moreso than perhaps any other newer markets that the NHL has expanded into.
