There’s really no “alone time” for players when hazing would occur.

I'm happy with my one day per week commitment. My kids are in the ice back to back to back at the same arena. I only drive to the rink once and not rushing around town or going separate ways from my wife. I'm also saving thousands per year.
My oldest would like to play minor hockey but then he doesn't get to play on the school volleyball or basketball teams. He wouldn't have time for drums or his youth groups or school work.
My kids love hockey and they get to love hockey without feeling the pressures.
