Hockey would definitely be one of the sports with the most complicated impacts as hockey has a) a lot of international players for whom that would not apply and b) good hockey players tend to come from higher-income families who can afford to push their kids along in a sport with high fixed costs (skates, pads [especially goalies] sticks, an energy-sucking rink) compared to sports like soccer and basketball where the costs are lower so some players would not qualify for that aid.
