With Canada's regional issues, and hoping to get the players playing overseas to buy into the organization, there needs to be a solid and clear plan, more friendly's, and more reason for both players to come back to play in those higher profile games, and, the increased experience the team gains from playing better (and more) opponents. It also showcases the game more within the country and gives youth a goal to acheive.

The CSA just approved a major structural change, not without some opposition;
