This isn't F1 where Mazepin gets to buy his way in. And even then Mazepin is probably still better than 100% of RS in terms of driving skill.
Many kids who play in leagues like the BCJHL, WHL, and OHL have parents who spent 6 figures to get there. Without that money, some of those players would not be playing in that league.

Having a parent who has played helps. Because they can help get the kid on the right teams with the best coaches.
