My POV is irrelevant, as my kid aged out, but why do you give a flying F what other people do? You all spend so much time bitching about "other" orgs. Either 1. Little Johny didn't make one of those teams or 2. You need to do it to make yourself feel better. Either way, can't you just be happy kids are doing what they love and are clearly happy cause if they were not, they would not continue to do it. You don't think a 17 or 18 year old makes their own decisions as it relates to hockey at this point?
