Re: 2011 AAA
Historically we did own the game, because we had huge numbers playing on outdoor ponds and rinks across the country. That has ALL changed now, and the only reason we are competitive is b/c we still have relatively big numbers playing the game and culturally believe we are the best in the world . That is starting to wane and slowly ever year Canada gets worse. It is an unrealistic to think that 25,000 that for the most part have zero training have any clue how to identify talent, they do not even no where to begin. So even with the large numbers we lose roughly 30% of the total (high performance elite athletes included in that group) due to ignorance and lack of a formal educated structure. Needless to say it has caught up with us now. They need a structured coaching and development system with strict oversight on the underlying coaches!

Re: 2011 AAA
Oversight = $. Hockey is too expensive already and hockey Canada has pressure to reduce cost. There will be further private of leagues and teams to keep best coaches with the best kids. Will some high potential kids without resources be left behind, yes. Will better coaches be retained, yes. Will the outcome be better, maybe, maybe not.Guest wrote: ↑Mon Jun 17, 2024 11:59 amHistorically we did own the game, because we had huge numbers playing on outdoor ponds and rinks across the country.

Re: 2011 AAA
More $ attracts better coaches by expanding the number of candidates. Then performance-based incentives are next.Guest wrote: ↑Mon Jun 17, 2024 6:20 pmFirst weed out the fugazi coaches in it for the quick buck.Guest wrote: ↑Mon Jun 17, 2024 6:00 pmOversight = $.
