That's like saying skiers should stick to the bunny hill if they aren't trying to be a competitive ski racer and accepting all the risks that come with that.
With the exception of kids in elite programs, everyone is in 'rec' hockey. There to learn a lifelong skill, be part of a team, win and lose, etc. not to be high performance athletes. it's goofy that the system for 100,000 kids there to have fun should be built to suit the top competitors, and the 10-12 who ever play more than beer league. (Not calling you goofy, just giving an alternate view)
