Yeah... Lacrosse and Hockey in that area are like PeeWee football down here. I have a bunch of friends from high school who played, most stayed in the Northeast/MidAtlantic, but a few went to places in Ohio and California and played in college.

I think the cup has to give people from all regions the ability to compete. They can't just do sports everyone plays if the competitive advantage is in one part of the country. Especially if their best athletes play something else and it's part of the culture.

The rinks carry alot of overhead, raising liabilty insurance has turned youth hockey into very costly sport to play, there are less places to play hockey today than there was 30 years ago in a place like Philadelphia were the frozen ponds are not safe to skate other than a couple weeks in mid-winter.
