And its not just hockey either.
There are tons of sports that kids & adults can play and be involved in their entire lives.
We just focus on hockey because we live in Canada.
So what can the government do?
Funding for more recreational centres.
Funding for more arenas.
Grants / tax incentives for equipment / league signups.
Grants for sporting schools (summer goalie league, summer skating school).
etc, etc
There are literally dozens of ways to try and break the cost barrier that many families have with getting their kids into sports.
