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.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance. He becomes a source of blessings rather than wages. Criticism is sacrilege, doubt is heresy.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
“...I wasn’t at all prepared for the avalanche of criticism that overwhelmed me. You would have thought I had murdered someone, and perhaps I had, but only to give her successor a chance to live. It was a very sad business indeed to be made to feel that my success depended solely, or at least in large part, on a head of hair.”
—Mary Pickford (1893–1979)
“People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher—a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It’s the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
