Politics play far more influence in the player experience than skill. The players, whos parents are extroverted, aggressive, and pay the full financial cost, never set foot on the bench and always play on the top division team respective to age group. A great example of this is the Mustoe player. Decent person, but being blatantly out of shape and unable to play competitively, he starts and plays most games over division one level players due to his fathers influence.
