Meaning they are all signed up for the same stuff and in doing so essentially means they are going to miss half of the sessions because they are also attending something else. So, you then have like 10 kids show up out of 16 creating a crappy experience for those that do actually show up and you're taking a spot from a kid that would actually attend. Why they agree to allow this is beyond me but just proves that 98% of it is simply a money grab.
There's a lot of misinformation and bad opinion on this thread, but I'll just single out this one.

Please provide your examples where a player has skipped Elite League games for something else?

"Why they agree to allow this" when the Elite League specifically doesn't allow it....yeah, no wonder it is beyond you.

These "10 kids show up" games? Which ones? Seems to me all the coaches have a couple players that can fill in if they are short. I have seen teams go with 16 skaters instead of a full 18, but for the most part they run four full lines and six D. (Shattuck being an exception. They do not call up from their other teams and do occasionally go lean by comparison.

Awaiting your response. I'm used to people that don't follow the league closely having wild takes. Never heard this one before.
Be kind. Rewind.

You’re talking HS Elite League I assume and nowhere in my post was I talking about the HS Elite league. I’m talking about CCM HP and BEL/PEL that YHH runs. So, if you can prove me wrong that this isn’t happening there I’ll eat crow.
