Some families driving crazy distances to practice go back to their local teams that were likely responsible for their initial development. Some 3rd and 2nd line kids go back to be first liners and again lead a team. All depends on the team and how it was built.

All for the possibility of playing two games and heading home from Quebec.
Setting goals and meeting them leads to success in anything you do. These kids set a goal and met it... instead of shi$&ing on them how about a high five even if they play 2 games.

It's hardly the kids setting goals. I would say it's more the parent setting the goal and moving their kid to the best situation. The kids just play in the rink at which they are dropped off.
Unless the team/org/coaches are idiots, you're not only playing 2 games, even if you get eliminated after the minimum.
You should be scheduling at least a couple of exhibitions before your first game, and then, should you exit early, a few more games after.
Every team up there has the opportunity to play 5-7 games against very good competition you wouldn't otherwise see at any other tournament. And, there's all the other stuff to experience in and around Quebec City during Carnival.
