Therefore, Garth, to announce officiating the state championship of Texas hockey may be no different than announcing you've been chosen to officiate a local championship where the game is played in much greater numbers. In areas where the game is played in far greater numbers, there are many that officiate local championships, and far greater competition in reaching national recognition.

I don't know why you have addressed this to me. I am not making any argument based on population or numbers. I was merely using one of Peter's arguments and looking at from a different angle.

Like I said in my post, I do not have the time to examine this closely at this time, but as a former market research specialist, it does intrique me. Hopefully, I can find some meaningful data over the winter. I still find Peter's suppositions, just that, suppositions with no basis in fact. This is not say that they may not be true, it is saying that they are not necessarily true.

No one, including myself, seems to have anything beyond anecdotal evidence to present.
