I can't imagine that the end of Hockey Night is going to help.
Also, the video only talks about the costs of training for professional hockey vs other sports, not the cost of watching it or playing pick-up games.
there is a mcdonalds in downtown edmonton near a hospital that is basically fight club
I don't blame you if you didn't watch a 20+ minute video straight through and missed some of the details.
The cost of watching hockey may not increase, but the percentage of Canadian players in the once Canadian dominated NHL will probably continue to decline (if that's important to anyone watching). However, it probably means worse Olympic performances in the long run with a smaller pool of top tier Canadian players.
Inflation adjusted, that's a decrease in price, in line with other sports. I don't blame you, if you're only going off the video's selective sources, but there's much more to reality, as revealed by a quick web search.
Also, getting hockey players for Canada's Olympic team isn't that difficult, they just get their players to take a break from the US teams they normally play on, to play for the team Canada.
>“Rogers is no longer afraid that the Canadian government and the Canadian people would reject this as a mass cultural massacre,” he said. “We’ve normalized buying over-the-top streaming services.”
It's all about profit.
Or used to be.. I noticed that recently competitions moved into a 3v3 format for overtime, to rush the end of the game with arcade-style gaming. Urgh.
