NHL is an entertainment business. Why does Hockey Canada need to help anyone to get into NHL?

Hockey is not what it used to be in Canada, and the situations getting worse. Kids growing up playing hockey translates into more fans of the sport in adulthood.
I don't disagree that other sports are more accessible. If the plan is just to let fans transition over to other sports and spend less money on the NHL......I mean keep up the status quo.
