its the parents. my kid assistant coach for high school hockey for a few years . he and coach would ask parents and kids at the beginning of the year. What do you want to accomplish, win or have everyone get a chance to play. If win we will try to play everyone but not at times if means it will cost the game. Parents and kids said they wanted a title!

they won the title the second year first time in many years for the high school Head coach not invited back and my son quit too. Why, parents were all upset over their kid not getting enough ice time. Seems these parents have their kids on two or three teams to get as much ice time as possible for college scholarships.

In the end the answer was not give all the kids ice time or win but give my kid all the ice time. Parents destroy teams not kids.
