A lot of teams can't do it, because they don't own their facilities.

Frank E said:Yeah, this still really feels like a union issue to me. Players might feel compelled to train year round and most wouldn't like that.

Brazeau drove south in mid-May and is dedicating this summer to his stride, hitting the ice for sessions with Underhill, the Leafs dedicated skating coach, three or four times a week and training daily at the Leafs practice facility.
Underhill is dismantling Brazeau?s stride right down to the basics in order to rebuild it properly, like a golfer learning a new swing starting with the grip and stance.
...
No other team was offering the late-blooming prospect this level of investment and attention, so he?s banking on hard work and improvement to pay the Leafs back.
?They gave me the best chance of taking my pro career forward,? Brazeau says. ?I know I have to earn my spot on the team.?
Brazeau is finally undergoing the type of intense skills and skating training the majority of his drafted peers received as kids, but you won?t catch him regretful.

Or, in other words, the driving economic factor behind every decision the league has made in the last 15 years.
CarltonTheBear said:Earl's follow-up to that tweet also wonders if this would even apply to someone like Brazeau (or Noel Hoefenmayer) since those players are signed to AHL contracts and not bound by the NHL CBA.
