To sum it up: PDR is basically a decoy "supposedly" established to force clubs to develop their own players? But is actually a "non-compete" to prevent coaches from taking players they develop to other teams? So although parents pay the cost of this development, we face limitations as to what team we want to spend that money on. Unless we don't care in what division they play? Imagine a youth sport where parents would have freedom of choice...oops, guess that's what inhouse hockey is for! Once at the Tier level, the coach that's been with the players for years was only good at developing players while the coach belonged to the club. If they go elsewhere... their history of development is no longer valid. How ridiculous. Let there be no doubt, youth hockey clubs are more about business then player development... other than for retaining the revenue from us!
