I generally don't think much of the analysis of the NHL business decisions, but there's one area I think they are less than wise to not invest more resources into and that's youth hockey. It seems like it's the only real way to get a huge growth and makeup ground on the other sports eclipsing it. The cost and time commitment are immense.
Youth hockey is to blame also. Why can't they just mandate cheaper wooden sticks until Bantam? Tell the stick manufacturers
The local fields (soccer and baseball) situated at schools or public parks are almost always empty during the week. Don't know if organizations have moved more towards those 'sports parks' that have been opening up more frequently but it's sad to see it move away from the simple locations. My parent's street use to be littered with cars parked for the field and diamond down the street. Empty park now. Did everyone move or are even the 'cheaper' summer sports dwindling in participation?
I live across the street from a park used for baseball and soccer leagues ages 7-12.
Its very busy Monday-Saturday. Non league hardly anybody.
