maybe parents don't do enough of that now and focus too much on the score and that's why we have these governing bodies making these decisions for parents, kind of the same way schools are in charge of bullies and the government for whether or not we can change our music in our car while we drive.
here's the other thing, Hockey Canada takes pride on winning at the absolute highest levels in sport. why would they implement these things if they didn't see results begin to trickle in. I find it hard to believe that they would be self-sabotaging their own program.
Maybe the question is, does learning to win / compete at age 8 or age 10 make that big of a difference in a person's development as an athlete / person?
