gosh when was the last times kids played road hockey? I haven't since any kids play road hockey in 4 or 5years. even after school the playgrounds/fields are pretty empty the odd group of kids but it might be once a week. I really hope the neighbours complaining isn't the main reason. its a real shame I would love for kids to get back to being kids and not tech beasts who can smash eachother in smash bros.

I dunno Alf, it's sad though. We're in a pretty small neighbourhood with kids in every second house, yet very few of them ever play outside, or participate in sports.
For example, in my son's grade they have 3 full classrooms, ONE OTHER KID PLAYS HOCKEY. ONE!
75 kids, two play hockey. How &^@#ed is that?

I'll play devil's advocate for a message...
Technology contributes to an earlier separation of niche interests in any given individual. But, while you have the more sedintary individuals interested in technology and not leaving their screens, conversely, there is certainly a product of athletes performing at higher levels than ever before because of many of those individuals learning more, faster than ever, enabling the underlying technologies to exist.

I guess to a certain extent. More likely than not, a lot parents are just lazy $&!#s who want to get off easy and just allow their children to get glued to a screen instead of actually having to take them somewhere to do stuff.
Side note- my son's atom team would absolutely destroy the atom team I played for. There's only one kid on his team who legitimately sucks and obviously does not want to be there.
