And how does linking an article where a player made it who did not play spring hockey have any barring on this?

#1. Players in general did not play year round, etc 25 years ago. So it's not comparing similar circumstances. Plus he talks about how he practiced all summer.
#2. You don't believe that a player who practices and plays more is going to be better then a player who doesn't in a large sample size? Now of course they could play another summer sport and stay in good shape and develop other skillsets. However at the end of the day kids who play year round will be better in the long run on the average.
Incorrect.
