100% or how kids who grow up near a basketball court(city kids) are more likely to go pro, than some guy playing on a 9.9 foot rim down the block. That was going to be my next guess. I know some countries will basically train you for free if your good enough. Like with Amir Khan getting all...

Oh ya bro for sure. I know you aren't a silver spoon guy or anything. I just wanted to clarify what I meant when I was talking about poor kids. Like if your a blue collar guy and your son clearly has a talent for hockey. I can see you taking some extra shifts around hockey season to pay for a...

I also don't know much about hockey myself, HOP is the expert on that topic, so we can just wait for his reply. But in general blue collar people have a **** of a lot more money than inner city people. A lot of blue collar guys are pulling in well over 6 figures with over time. I doubt you are...

For sure. You definitely had valid points and both of our theories are plausible. It is most likely a mix of both.

That is exactly it. Same with sports like boxing or wrestling. These guys will do simple things like a jab or a double leg millions of times throughout their careers.

I could only imagine. Its like that with any sport, but I can see it being even more important with a sport like Hockey. Since skating isn't something most people do everyday. But even with say basketball. If you have a kid that plays 12 months of the year, you will need an absolute genetic...

Well the point I was making is that poorer people up north would be less likely to play hockey. Whether its white, black, latino, etc. It just so happens that there aren't as many wealthy black guys up here as there are other races. You will see black kids up here playing street hockey and stuff...

LMAO!! Great movie too! As HOP said, even then its still a very expensive sport. And even up north in places like NYC. We really don't have that many months of the year where the ponds are frozen over solid enough to be able to ice skate on. So even if we had free gear and stuff to play with. We...

I could only imagine. I figured the skates would be much more expensive than a pair of shaqs lmao. I would imagine, at least as kid, more often you at least need a parent who is home sometimes, or a nanny, etc. Because most people don't live within walking distance to the rink and I would...

I would assume so. Part of it also is hockey is an expensive sport, so you need a bit more money to participate in it, than something like basketball. Not even counting the equipment, you need to spend money just to practice since you can't go to a local park year round and just start skating...

I think with football its the fact that most wealthy people do not want their kids playing football for the most part. I don't know a single person my age that allows their kid to play football. I think if every white parent had their kid play football. We would see a lot more white NFL players.
