500,000 Canadian kids play hockey each year and less than 1% will ever reach the point where they are making a living from the game. It seems that Edmonton and area produces significantly more NHL players vs Calgary and area and the fees are about 1/2. Even better is the rural Alberta advantage where many small towns pay fees of $200 per year and have unlimited ice. In Calgary with the shortages of ice most games are only 1 hour vs small towns 2-3 hours. These Elite Minor Hockey parents need to step up their game and move to a some small town in the middle of nowwhere AB/SK/MB so they can manufacture greatness with the right amount of ice.
