A friend owns a sports store in Saskatoon and a few months ago I went to get myself a new hockey stick. I was shocked to hear him say that hockey is a dying sport. I grew up around hockey and have been playing for many years so for me this was hard to hear. He gave a few reasons as to why this was happening: the violence (hitting), interests in other sports and overall just a new generation coming through. I did some research and tried to find more information on this topic, I didn't have much luck. Most of the information that I found was based on the United States.
Does anyone have any thoughts? I know there are a few hockey players in our section! I found this very shocking!
