I completely disagree with the statement that Canadian coaches don't give children of Chinese descent a chance. As someone who can say with relative confidence that I've played more hockey than 99% of the people on the boards, I can say that I've never witnessed any such favoritism on the part of a coach. Being a minor hockey coach is a selfless and often thankless task, but the vast majority are fair and honest.
I won't get into the debate that you and Strome are engaging in, but I will say that what you state above is true. I work at a college and we actively recruit overseas, partially to fill seats, but also in large part for the extra tuition.
At orientation this fall, we had several students from India, a few from Nigeria and two from South Korea. No Chinese, but I'd guess that they mostly attend schools in the lower mainland.
