I suspect these things are more sophisticated now and much more of a business.

Hockey may take the top spot for crazy in this country for sure but i really dont thin it matters too much anymore particularly if your kid is playing at a higher level
I think Soccer is getting just as bad too. While I was waiting for my son at the fieldhouse last night i ran into a good friend waiting for his kid who was doing soccer on onne of the other surfaces. He was telling me they run 2 hours/4 nights a week in the winter plus there are a bunch of other things they are "expected" to attend
