You can't paint everyone with a brush simply because some people have the wrong motivations.
Would you take the same view of parents of kids in Australia or South Africa who play rugby year round?

To answer you second question first, yes. I am not a fan of single sport athletes. I think the more exposure an athlete has to different sports the better, example Jeff Wilson he was a Double All Black. The list of hockey players that played lacrosse is long.
I also wonder why, if it is such a good thing Hockey Alberta doesn't support or sanction it.
I am leaving my child with you (the coach) I want to know that this individual is vetted for more than just hockey knowledge.
