Criticism
The Canadian Development Model has come under fire by many, including most notably, President of the Greater Toronto Hockey League John Gardiner. At the 2007 annual general meeting the criticized the direction the CDM was taking hockey. The CDM is also criticized by others not in the hockey administration, most cite that the CDM is "holding players back". In fact the CDM has allowed for the creation of niche market, as seen through the creation of leagues such as the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League and the WHA Junior Hockey League. These leagues are not members of Hockey Canada and therefore not subject to the Canadian Development Model.
