Black Bear tried to start a team there.
the USA Hockey affiliate blocked it on the basis of that rule, and BlackBerry actually sued and lost in court.
The court ruled that such a rule was totally permissible.
But then what we saw was USA Hockey sort of just caved and let BlackBerry in anyway, and now BlackBerry does have for-profit teams there.
So I think if curbing the influence of for-profit companies in youth sports is something that
we as a society want to take seriously, then I think we do need national and state governing bodies to have a stronger backbone to make sure that the decisions that they make are actually in families' interests.
Thanks so much for focusing on the work.
I appreciate you having me on.
