Mark Messier: “According to a study, 9 out of 10 children in Canada do not play hockey.
That’s too much” – Hockey News

Former hockey legend Mark Messier dropped by the Sportsnet studio to talk about the problems of children’s hockey in Canada and how to solve them.
Mark Messier : If we talk about the development of hockey in Canada… There was a study according to which 9 out of 10 children in Canada do not play hockey. It’s too much.
Darren Millard (host) : Maybe we take it for granted: this is Canada, hockey is our game, all kids play it by default?
Mark Messier : Yes, including. In this study, respondents were asked questions. Here are the main reasons why kids don’t play hockey:
– high price;
– it takes a lot of time;
– fear that the child will be injured;
Hockey is not considered a game that you enjoy.
I believe that all these aspects can be worked on and the situation can be corrected.
Example: imagine a parent who has not played hockey before, knows nothing about it, and now has to take the child to the rink at 4 in the morning through a snowstorm. It wouldn’t be fun for me either.
Another problem worries me a lot: not every child is ready physically and psychologically to play in the top children’s leagues, where teams often travel to another city. Our elite kids league system is good, but it’s not for everyone. So we still need to create a system where children can play just for themselves, for fun. I am part of the Grow The Game program, our goal is to increase the number of children playing hockey by one million in 10 years.
Doug McLean (former head coach of Florida and ex-general manager of Columbus) : Fewer kids in the US now play American football and baseball than they did 10 years ago, and TV ratings for these sports are rising and rising. With so much hockey on TV right now, does that help?
Mark Messier : Although lacrosse has become more popular.
And so, children now have more choice than before, this is the reason.
“Our goal is to increase the number of children playing hockey by one million in 10 years” Retweet
Nick Kypreos (Messier’s former Rangers teammate) : In the junior leagues, the child trains once a week and plays once a week. When he gets to the next level, he is required to be better and better all the time. Maybe you don’t want to train, but you know that the neighboring team is training all the time, so you don’t want to be left behind. Children today need to be on the ice 4-5 times a week in order to improve – this is how their parents understand it.
Mark Messier : I remember reading an article about Gretzky, there he was playing baseball in the photo. Wayne didn’t play hockey during the summer, only other sports. It is useful for the physical development of the child.
It’s not about how many times a week a child goes out on the ice.
Ed Giovanovski didn’t play hockey until he was 13. He had talent from God, and Ed was good enough to get into the NHL. There are a small number of talented players with character – they make their way to the NHL. But if we’re using hockey in the kids’ leagues as a way to get into the NHL, then we’re wrong. It makes no sense to make children’s leagues professional. Hockey at such an early age is needed to raise good citizens and give certain life lessons.
Nick Kypreos : But we already have teams trying to get kids to join them, just like free agents in the NHL. Like, if you come to us, we will pay the registration fee ourselves, give goalkeeper ammunition, your parents will travel with us for free. This is ridiculous. Professionalization has already taken place.
Mark Messier : It’s okay. Because some kids are physically and emotionally ready for it. And their parents are ready, they have money. On the other hand, there are children and parents who are not ready for this.
What can we offer them? 95 or 99% of kids don’t play at the elite level. Canada needs to offer them other opportunities, give them better coaches, make sure they enjoy hockey. And who knows, maybe later they will love hockey more, they will be better prepared for it physically. This is an opportunity to keep them in the game.
Bauer and Ice Hockey Canada created the Big Assist program. So parents who don’t know what hockey is can come and get the uniform for free. They have one class once a week. The program is designed for 6 weeks. They can then buy the entire kit for $100. This program has good results.
“Hockey at an early age is needed to raise good citizens and give certain life lessons” Retweet
Nick Kypreos : Are we 10-20 years too late? For one generation? Now it looks like an all-in tactic. I appreciate Bauer’s initiative, but their clubs cost $300 in stores. Just like clubs from other companies. This is what scares many parents.
Mark Messier : Absolutely. One of the company’s initiatives is to create cheaper protection for entry-level hockey. At the same time, we need to continue talking about hockey – we have a lot of immigrants who do not know anything about this game.
Doug McLean : Education project for parents is good. I remember telling them when I coached the children’s team: “I understand that you are all hockey experts here, you understand the game more than me. But I guarantee that I know hockey better than your child. And if you get on my nerves, he won’t be on the team.” Is there such an item in this manual for parents yet?
Mark Messier : I think we should add it (laughs).
Darren Millard : Which of the problems you listed is the biggest?
Mark Messier : The most difficult thing is to change expectations from hockey, from parents to coaches. I say all the time: we incorrectly call them coaches. These are the teachers, they should teach.
People come to this position and think, now they will train. And we need them to teach not so much skills as life lessons on the example of hockey. This is a big difference. Coaches are needed in the elite children’s leagues and at the professional level.
Nick Kypreos : But in all but the lowest leagues, they have one main goal – to win. There, the coaches talk about the tactics of left wing lock, about the fact that you need to bring power moves to the end, that you need to play according to the 1-4 system. It’s horrible.
Doug McLean : The problem is even deeper. In January I was at a tournament for children (midget level) in Detroit. On local teams, 75% of the players were not from Michigan. Search and recruitment at this level is already like that of professional clubs. And all weekend everyone was talking about who would get an offer from a good college, who would be drafted, and so on. Scouts and agents in children at 13-14 years old – it’s just incredible!
Mark Messier : When I joined the NHL in 1979, Marcel Dionne was the highest paid player.
Salaries in hockey then were, as in other professions. So if you didn’t become a hockey player, then you could go to study as a dentist, a lawyer and earn about the same. And now all that professionalization of children’s hockey is because your child can earn a lot if he gets into the NHL. We need to get back to a better balance.
“I say all the time: we call them trainers wrong. In children’s hockey, there should be teachers, they should teach” Retweet
Nick Kypreos : Some kids now play 60-80 matches a year. Where do you get the time to teach them?
Duck McLean : So, Mark, you don’t run elite kids leagues that are out of control?
Mark Messier : I want to be understood correctly. I am not against the existence of elite leagues. When I was growing up, we didn’t have them. You play for the teams in your area, there is a stronger team, there are weaker ones. I traveled from the north of Edmonton to the south area – it was our away game.
Elite leagues will still be. I think we can strike a balance. A small percentage of children play in the elite leagues. It turns out that if a child does not get through to a team that travels to matches in other cities, then he is a loser, and he has nowhere else to go. If kids don’t want to play in a league where power moves are allowed, create a league where they are banned. Team captains in these leagues will receive the same experience.
Darren Millard : What is your role in the Grow The Game project?
Mark Messier : Pay attention to this problem. Create a platform where you can share ideas on how to keep kids in hockey.
Darren Millard : How much time does Bob Nicholson and his team spend doing what you’re talking about and how much to win at the U-18, U-20 level? What is the priority for Ice Hockey Canada?
Mark Messier : They feel responsible towards all children. The Federation is trying to find a balance. She pays attention to the best hockey players at every age .
..
Doug McLean : Based on which she is judged.
Nick Kypreos : If we get 2-3 million more kids into hockey, is that as important to the Canadian Ice Hockey Federation as the MFM gold?
Mark Messier : How many children have not played in the last 20 years for various reasons: from the cost of uniforms to physical and emotional unwillingness to play. There is a cannibalization of sports, we feed only children’s elite leagues. We need them, but I repeat: we must work better with other children.
Darren Millard : And kids should be able to start playing at 12 or 13 if they want to.
Doug McLean : At the same time, parents believe that if their child did not start hockey at 4 years old, then he was late.
Mark Messier : We have a great example: Ed Giovanovski, who started playing at the age of 13.
Doug McLean : First pick in 1994!
Mark Messier : The last thing we want is to rob a kid of his NHL dream.
As a father, you want him to dream about it. I never tell my son that he won’t make it to the NHL. I don’t know if he will succeed or not, but the idea is to give him a good upbringing, including through hockey.
Doug McLean : One of the keys to keeping people in hockey. We need them as judges, coaches, volunteers. You can’t have them quit hockey because they’re angry that something isn’t working out for them.
Nick Kypreos : I don’t know if it’s possible to have a seminar for parents, but they need to be told, as I usually say: “Your child will not get into the NHL.”
Doug McLean : You don’t know that.
Nick Kypreos : I know it. That’s what the statistics say, not me. And if he gets into the NHL, consider it a bonus, a gift from the hockey gods. The moment you don’t have the feeling that hockey owes you something, it will bring much more pleasure to both your child and yourself.
Mark Messier : I don’t think the conversation should be about whether kids get into the NHL or not.
Nick Kypreos : But they want something in return, Mark. They want their child to go to university for free.
Mark Messier : In my opinion, the idea is that after 10 years in hockey, whether they invite you to university or not, so that you don’t have the stigma of a loser, so that your parents don’t tell you that you didn’t justify their hopes. What do we consider success? Getting into the NHL? You have an incredible experience of playing in different children’s teams, where you received the necessary life lessons. That’s what success is. And if we are focused only on the end result, then all you tell your child is that he did not live up to your expectations.
Nick Kypreos : Here’s another thing to discuss. In Canada, there are two camps: leave power moves in children’s hockey or ban them. When I see how, at the level of 12-13 years old, one player who weighs one and a half times more than another uses a power hold against him … You can teach how to hit correctly as much as you like, but it’s still dangerous.
