...And that's the truth. The sport of inline hockey needs to be reconfigured so that kids can get into it more easily. Sure, there are teams out there you can try out for or whatever, but those teams usually entail payment that is discouraging to the parents of a beginner. Just as teams pop up, they disappear just like that.

Richard,
Thanks for sharing this story. It's always refreshing to read about the youth players sticking to the sport and accomplishing their goals, especially when having to struggle hard to get there. Eight years in the game at 14... cool!
