Same with minor hockey for that matter. They keep amalgamating areas so that they can produce stronger tier 1 teams. Our club has 15 Peewee teams. As a result, kids who play on lower tiers never get to play with friends. They should switch to a quadrant system for Atom and Peewee AA and then break the remaining community associations down to a size where they field 3 teams in community.

Well, it depends on your point of view.
I think I understand what you're saying, but really bigger Schools like that are largely more efficient from a logistics standpoint. But less personal.
It becomes an issue of 'Throughput' rather than education. Its an assembly line. But its efficient and it works.
