It’s not about the competition, or being a professional athlete, it’s just plain healthy (along with the teamwork benefits, learning to be a good sport, etc.)

Out of all my school years, I think there was one semester where we started the day with gym class, and then it was a brain numbing 45 min of 'practice' before allowing us to actually play whatever we were practising.
But funny that so many in this thread are focusing on gym memberships when the solution is to find a way to get more kids & adults for that matter into sports. And sports are expensive. Especially hockey.
And yet a lifelong love of hockey will probably equal someone being active in the sport for many years.
