Canadians less active

I new report from statscan reports that fewer Canadians are playing hockey sports. The report cites that there is just more to do now, then there was ten or twenty years ago. I would also suspect that increased obesity rates are also to blame. Of course, you could say that increased obesity rates are caused by the fact that people are playing less sports....because there's more to do then there was ten or twenty years ago. These things are hard to figure out.

Some of you may be alarmed by the part of the report showing that soccer is the most popular sport among kids under 15. Worry not. I would attribute soccer's popularity to the fact that it is inexpensive and easy for kids to learn. Hockey isn't going anywhere.
