Just to put some numbers to this, 2010-ish was the peak at around 550k minor hockey registrations in Canada. 2023 was 435k. Lots of numbers get thrown around and it's mostly estimates (not sure why it's so hard to pin down actual numbers).

I'm not sure if I'd use the term 'dwindling', but down somewhat.
