we played our best hockey in the 2000sHistorically we played our best hockey in the 90s when we were not part of the EU. Again, it has nothing to do with it. If anything, hockey is heavily underfunded in relative terms now than it was back then.
Doesn't really matter though. I said the effect was indirect. If the standard of living is higher, people can spend more money on their kids and their potential sporting careers.
