And in the first 3 rounds there were only 4 kids where it could not be proven that they did or did not play spring hockey, and in the first 7 rounds it was something like 90% of the kids played spring hockey. The next group I know quite well is the 2001 born group, and the best (Alberta) kids in that group are all playing on at least one spring team.
