Although these allegations are troubling, Branch revealed that the league could not find or substantiate any of the claims. Instances of parents offering financial incentives for their children's selection are not unheard of, such as stories of sponsor's children making teams after new jerseys were donated.
However, if the investigation eventually uncovers evidence of such payments being accepted, it could have severe repercussions for the league and the teams involved. Furthermore, the exposure of such practices could discourage young players from competing if they believe their hockey careers could be jeopardized by other families' willingness to make financial contributions to teams.
