Same symptoms exist with other sports.... this is not only a Hockey issue. For example soccer.
Soccer is more intense than Hockey for the average kid, competitive players in Calgary (kids) will play 5 days a week (Fitness, Academy, Games & Practise).
There is very little off season with Soccer (Indoor ----> Outdoor).
Cost is high (Academy Fees) and concussions/injuries are a concern (seen way more broken bones with Soccer than at Hockey)
