Teen suspended from hockey for wanting better marks in school

Are crazy, bureaucratic rules only for boys' hockey? Nope, elite female hockey in Saskatoon shows it can compete with the boys when it comes to tripping up the school and hockey aspirations of a 17-year-old.
The Saskatoon StarPhoenix has the story about a team transfer gone off the rails involving Lindsay Karst and the local AAA Saskatoon Stars. In a nutshell, both she and her coach have been suspended because her parents were worried about Lindsay's falling grades.
Is minor hockey, even at the elite level, organized for the kids or for the egos of adults? Just asking.
