I wouldn't want my kids playing Junior Hockey in Canada. There are too many of these terrible stories. On top of that, you take a 16 year old from Calgary and he winds up having to play in Brandon, and half way through the season he gets traded to Portland. What are we doing to our kids?

There should be no trades in Junior Hockey, just like in university sports. Clearly, they only care about developing NHL players and don't care about all those who don't make it.
