Interesting that the argument against amalgamating the elite AAA minor hockey programs in Kitchener and Waterloo seems to coming mostly from Waterloo parents.
The Waterloo Region Record reports here that petitions are in the works and a member-wide vote is being demanded over the plan that would see the number of AAA teams reduced so that the new, amalgamated K-W teams could better compete with Ontario's best teams from London, Elgin-Middlesex and Toronto.
To me, the plan seems like a good one. Could it be ego, a sense of community pride or a desire not to mix with Kitchener kids that's motivating Waterloo parents to object?
Let's hope it's community pride.
