With Silver Stick coming, teams see fewer kids joining

Port Huron once was known as a youth hockey hotbed.
In addition to being the home of the prestigious North American Silver Stick International Hockey Tournament, Port Huron had a youth program that was busting at the seams.
"Back when I played, I think there might have been 1,000 to 1,500 kids in the program," said Bill Warren, a former player and coach in the Port Huron Minor Hockey Association. "Those numbers were big from 1980 to the mid-1990s.
"Everybody loved playing hockey. There weren't as any many distractions for kids in those days."
McMorran Pavilion and arena were packed with house and travel teams from morning to night.
But there also was one association in town.
