Interest in Hockey Dwindling?

With electronics, I don't see kids outside playing road hockey like I use to.  I ask kids and find very few watch the games on T.V.  I know a few richer kids that play organized hockey, and honestly it seems more of a burden put on them by their parents then anything else.  At work, with over 40 guys there, there's only a small handful that follow.  It sounds like the Leafs and the NHL are making more money then ever, but are the young and fringe fans finding other sources of entertainment?  I took my kids to an OHL game and didn't last 1 period.  Hockey can't compete with a video of some annoying guy playing minecraft.
 
I think attention in general has dwindled.

I find kids can't even sit through a minute long you tube clip without using their finger to skip ahead a few seconds at a time. Sitting down and focusing for the duration of a hockey game is rare these days.
 
kid today have attention spans of squirrels, unless they are playing a high tech video game, then they put us to shame.
