Only thing things I would add to the list is get him scheduled for the PSAT if you haven’t done so already. The SAT would be OK as well. They need a standardized test and at his grade level the SSAT probably isn’t right.

The other thing I would add is contacting the prep school coach and send the goalie coach evaluation in advance and meet with him at the school when doing the tour/game visit.

Considering that you feel warmer and fuzzier with family nearby, I might suggest that you add Proctor and/or Tilton to your mix. They are both 20-40 miles away - close enough for family members to check in on him on weekends (weekdays are too hectic anyway) without being too much driving. Both have a similar academic profile. Could possibly be easily visited on the same trip, although catching 2 hockey games at 2 campuses is unlikely unless you happen to get the odd Thursday or Friday game that happens from time to time. You may be able to substitute practicing with the team at one of the other schools.
