Elite hockey insiders' perceptions of game atmosphere, parent involvement, and athlete enjoyment in Canadian minor hockey
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The need to study Canadian minor hockey culture is made clear by extensive literature and media coverage reporting violence and aggression as undeniably rampant (e.g., Loughead & Leith, 2001), and consistent associations between this aggressive culture and decreased perceptions of sport enjoyment among youth (Petlitchkoff, 1993). Factors contributing to this increasingly aggressive culture include game atmosphere and parent involvement (Goldstein & Iso-Ahola, 2008). Thus, the purpose of the present study was to develop a comprehensive understanding of minor hockey culture by qualitatively examining perceptions of athlete enjoyment, game atmosphere, and parent involvement held by elite hockey insiders in Canadian minor hockey. Participants included ten elite Canadian hockey insiders (e.g., played OHL, NCAA; coached NHL), all of whom emerged from the Canadian minor hockey system and engaged in a 30-60 minute in-depth, semi-structured interview. Preliminary findings highlight the need to stop the over-professionalization of minor hockey, and the general need for parents to step back and play a more supportive role in their children's hockey.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
