that is a thoughtful response!
I dont think you can blame the OP - there are many reasons to hate youth hockey - not the sport itself, or that young people are learning it - no... it is the adults around it, from the parents to the schemers to the black bears to the georges - all a reeking pond, who "like hockey" but "love money"... it fails so many in so many ways... good for hockey, two thumbs up.
keep it fun for your kids, parents - sit back and enjoy it, because getting yourself involved just sucks.
So, it is not hockey the OP hates - it is the human condition, as expressed in youth hockey.
Hope you can process that successfully.
