A lot of the old sides in Warsaw disappeared and some older clubs. Attached to the military in some cases.
Of course ice hockey can be developed there. And away from it's traditional heartland in the very far south of Poland. It just needs as with other countries in the development stage more facilities and more access for kids. Then proceed to improve the standard of junior coaching and talent identification and send the best kids abroad. I understand where you're coming from but things can change.
Denmark are one of the best examples. For sure basketball, handball, association football and volleyball are the most popular team sports in Poland but that's not to say people there can't get behind hockey and improve with a logical long term plan. Following the development of rugby union in tier 2 and 3 nations even Poland Rugby have a better idea of how to develop the sport and juniors than their ice hockey counterparts.
The organization itself needs a thorough shake up and understanding of what it needs to do as the guardians of the sport in Poland. Unlike some sports though improvement in standards in ice hockey takes slightly longer.
