why is duffield so scared of the "rogue leagues". what is wrong with family's trying something different next year.
because their model isnt local kids, its attracting aaa coaches to bring in stacked teams from the gta.
they also can’t compete with full ice.
Fun facts to throw out there...if you're going Klevr, chances are you're an engaged hockey parent who also has your kid playing spring hockey. Average spring teams do 3-4 tournaments. A lot of parents have their kids on two spring teams, making it 6-8 tournaments. That's anywhere from ~15-36 games of full ice hockey.
Next season, the main difference will be that Klevr has full ice October through December. In that time, in the NYHL, you'd have 12 3/4 ice games. Then for the winter, another 12 full ice.
So for a calendar year, you're looking at 12 full ice games out of a total of around 54 games they would play. In the grand scheme of their minor hockey rep years, 12 out of more than 300 games. At 8 years old.
You have to ask yourself -- am I that nuts of a hockey parent to choose a rogue league for 12 more full ice games at 8 years old?
