2. I don't know the exact split, but considering my point above I'm not sure how many kids would actually leave Hockey Calgary by doing this. The end result is there may not be a significant reduction in player numbers.
3. Hockey Calgary would 'lose' access to the ice that Springbank utilizes - Springbank School and to some extend Edge School.
4. Calgary Royals (quadrant/elite) would lose players. Woudl this significantly affect them?
5. where would Springbank players go to play Elite hockey? (choice of two associations - based in Airdrie and Okotoks)

I won't comment on the other aspects but in terms of elite hockey, it would significantly impact NWCAA and Royals.
