It’s the one sport that we are the best at. Every country has their thing. Hockey is our thing. Everyone’s welcome to join but remember who the best is.

I work in an elementary school of almost 500 kids and I bet less than 30 play hockey, but I bet more than 150 play soccer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mistakes the momentum shifs the unpredictable goals against the flow of play all makes it a more exciting tourney than the world championhips.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 I like that other country teams have improved over the years and it's not always Canada that is dominating. It makes the games more interesting to watch. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get consignment or last years equipment that doesn't sell. Get kids playing. Focus on skill. Add another pipeline for Canadian talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing (.you’d know) that kids don’t even play floor hockey in school much anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times are probably changing though. I believe it. I work at a middle class school, not rich, not poor. Parents don't want to shell out the money or they don't have the time to sacrifice for hockey. That's been the norm at every school I've worked at in the last 10 years. For the cost of one kid to play hockey, they whole clan can ski in the winter and play soccer in the spring Edited December 27, 2021 by stawns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
