Forget pipe dreams about creating pan-Canadian pro leagues. Instead, fix the development pathway. The best youth programs should be encouraged and supported to develop clubs to play in elite u20 provincial leagues.
If the LTPD curriculum becomes yet another “closed document” available only to “certified” coaches who spend (or their club spends) more than $125 for OSA certification than once again the core of the people delivering the foundation of our youngest players will be missed and a huge opportunity lost.
