So my junior team had try-outs this past weekend. I went out there without being on the ice for almost 3 months because of school and an injury suffered in the playoffs last season. He knew this, and I feel that I played as best as I could under the circumstances.
After the try-outs, we had a one on one meeting session with him and he told me that he is not in a position to give me a contract for next season, but depending on what happens in the coming weeks, I might get a call. He also briefly said something about my age (18), which leads me to believe that my age had something to do with his decision also. Nearly all of the kids from last seasons team were also cut.
I feel slightly betrayed, especially after all the screw-ups last season in the travel department, namely buses that broke down nearly every road trip, not getting 3 meals a day, and things of that nature. Also the management was horrible, and they often messed things up when it came to payments and billet families. I just feel like I got screwed.
Sorry for the rant, I am just really angry and needed to vent. I think that my hockey career is pretty much over, and now I am going to concentrate on school and get a job.

Looking for some advise/info here...
Cracked the screen on my HTC Incredible pretty bad, to the point where I need a new phone. I pay the insurance every month. So my options are...
Pay $100 deductible to get the same phone
Pay $200-$250 to get a new phone (I am eligible for an upgrade).
I narrowed down my choices to the Incredible 2 or the Thunderbolt. I am located in Vermont, and we don't have 4G LTE here, and the rep at VZW said that we won't be getting it until 2012 (he had no idea when in 2012).
So my question is this:
Does it make more sense to pay $100 and get another HTC Incredible? Or should I pay the extra $100-$150 and get a newer phone? If I get a new phone, does it make more sense for me to get the Incredible 2 or the Thunderbolt?

I'd go with the Incredible 2. No sense in buying a phone for 4G when you may only end up getting 6 mo. of 4G use out of it -- that's assuming they roll-out 4G in your area at the end of 2012, and you'd be getting a new phone 2 years from today.
Mine is AJBergy86, get at me and we can play zombies or something lol
