IMMIGRATION AND HOCKEY: THE END OF SPORTS AS WE KNOW THEM?

This is quite interesting, because of the implications for sports and immigration: it is undeniable that immigrants from countries who have no affinity to hockey are far less inclined to send their children to hockey practice, or to attend games. In fact, there is a sense of crisis amongst hockey organizations. In my capacity of Chair of the Ontario Bar Association Citizenship and Immigration Section, we were requested by a prominent hockey organization to come up with ideas as to how to interest immigrants in hockey.
