Parents who are obsessed with hockey

I've noticed some parents seem to be on a mission for their kids to be 'the best'. At the moment their kids are not the best, but mom and dad seem to think the are. These kids attend skills sessions all over the place in the summer several times a week, practices and are in a different tournament (could be in Canada or US) every weekend. No other sports or activities - just hockey. No family vacations. Is this normal? Kids are 10. How could parents think this is a good idea? I'm not sure if the hope is a scholarship or the NHL...but clearly there must be some type of goal in mind.

I know we are told to mind our own business but it's hard not to at times when things like this are all over social media and you see it happening.
