I wonder why it's only available to easily impressionable kids?
Also, I never see hockey in the park's lacrosse boxes anymore, like I have since the beginning of time. It's only all cricket, all the time.
Does your area in Canada have this, too, or is it just Surrey?

There’s been multiple cricket fields in the Regina and Saskatoon for way too long. The first one was a clear sign that they are only here to form a parasitic parallel society.

Lots of cricket matches in Winnipeg’s Assiniboine Park. No clue whether it’s having an impact on hockey engagement.

Just a guess here but, maybe hockey enrollments are down because of the high cost and time commitments. I'm glad I talked my youngest out of it.

in edmonton it is dropping as fees are insane and ppl are seeking alternate private leagues because of the politicization of the sport because of Hockey Canada.

Lots of outdoor leagues are beginning to popup
