Going To The Show

Hockey is a game that is loved across Canada. The game has evolved significantly over the years. This includes the changes at the professional levels but also includes an evolution of the game at the grass roots level. The outcomes associated with the evolution are complex, some being positive but others decidedly negative. This episode starts the discussion around issues related to youth hockey enrollment, the concept of specialization and the games growing exclusivity. This discussion is critical to understanding where the game is going, especially as we strive to ensure a broad participation in youth hockey, with a goal of instilling a lifelong love of the game.
