Not sure I understand your point.
If you look into the history of Swedish hockey development, they turned it around right when Hedman was playing youth hockey. What did they do? They claim the biggest thing they did was IMPROVE COACHING. In other words, he didn't have to follow the money and pay $$$ for supposed great coaching far, far away. He competed in a system that gave everyone a chance...
Playing a part in that is the fact that from May through November each year, the Swedish federation invites 2,000 players ages 14-18 to one of 45 player-development camps. The federation then aims to invite 800 of the best 14-year-olds back the following year. That list is ultimately pared down to 30 by the time they are good enough to play for the Under-20 World Championship team.Wow, 45 camps for 2,000 players?!?! Sounds a bit more advantageous if CAHA were to adopt a similar system. Yes, treat CA like its own country. Provide more opportunities.
