I think this is green text but my sarcasm meter has been known to be off at times
Just for interest's sake:

In 1985, a study was done in Ontario, Canada for all
10 year-old hockey players. At this time, there were 22,000 10 year-olds playing hockey in Ontario. Of these players
only 110 made it to the
OHL (Ontario Hockey League) and
22 more received scholarships to Division 1 schools.
This means that
only 132 out of those 22,000 made it into the top feeder leagues for the NHL.
Of those 132 players, only 7 played in the NHL. Those are astonishing numbers.
