Long and shorts it’s parents
hockey should be part of the school system
too many kids missing school because of games when you travel from SE ND to NW ND for weekend series.
their was a we are better than you where I came from when it came to hockey Vs. basketball and hockey didn’t follow NDHSA rules when it came to discipline for school infractions, grades, drinking ect. And if you didn’t drive a suburban you weren’t in the club.
maybe that has changed now since I’ve been away from it for 20 years now.
