Which is a huge revenue business: “A $19.2 billion market in the US means the youth sports market rivals the size of the $15 billion NFL,” says a December 2019 report from Dublin’s GlobeNewswire. Totaling $24.9 billion at that point, worldwide youth sports markets “are expected to reach $77.6 billion by 2026.”1 https://onlinesportmanagement.ku.edu/community/commercialization-of-youth-sports#:~:text=“A %2419.2 billion market in,reach %2477.6 billion by 2026.” https://finance.yahoo.com/news/latest-global-youth-sports-market-153000303.html

On a more serious note our geographic location makes Pittsburgh a great place to play hockey. You can, in my opinion, easily drive from Toronto to Nashville North to South if you wanted. Same Boston to Chicago East to West. Add up all the hockey you can get to in between and it's pretty darn good.

I like the analogy but which side are you on? Does Tomlin suck or not? 😂

Great info! Doesn't Adrian have a D-3 NCAA team also? The guy who started all that at Adrian was at Washington & Jefferson College in Washington,PA. Jeff Docking was a VP at W&J. Talked a great deal about a D-3 Team at W&J and had some alumni investors for a rink in Washington. President resigned! He wanted the job and didn't get it. Went out to Adrian as President, started hockey program there and the rest is history. I believe his kids played. When he was at W&J the club team was good. He left, no one cared and the rest is history at W&J. (No program now)

rink owners can have a field day now jacking up the available ice time. would be a smart move on their part to do so too. supply and demand.
