As someone who dedicated a lot of his life to minor hockey — I coached more than 1,000 games in 27 minor hockey seasons and in between that convened leagues, sat on executives of two organizations, scheduled tournaments, organized statistics, ran year-end banquets — I am more than qualified to discuss anything to do with minor hockey in Canada.Article content
