Dunny Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Just now, Albatrosss said: no idea. Not sure they have the same corporate culture. I'm sure they don't in a general sense, nor is the corporate culture the same, but their grass roots fan support for soccer, or rugby, or even hockey is far superior to ours. They have real clubs in all sports, supported by real people. We have faceless corporations that gatekeep access to the teams. Going to a Leafs game is simply unattainable for 99% of the public, here, which is a massive problem whether they admit it, or not. It's a travesty, really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, I don't feel like that, at all. Nobody is making much money on actual leagues, here. There's no way Theo is making anything off our team. He told me he'll make $200 if everything goes right lol. They make all their money in camps and stuff, which is fine. They have to pay their bills. Again, if you got rid of the draft and had a structure like Euro Soccer/Basketball/Hockey most of that issue would disappear, and you would increase output. Just look at Finland. How do they produce so much, with so little? The answer is right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant more to the point of these leagues just take your money and place your kid where they see fit, usually behind other kids who are not as good but their family is "friends of the program".

Dunny Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 That's certainly true about most Spring programs, as you've pointed out previously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you stories of kids getting left off the team because someone else's dad lets the team practice on their backyard rink. Real Zach Hyman shit.

Dunny Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 This is why I insist my wife wears Lulu's to every practice and game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
