[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These numbers are astounding - what does travel ice hockey cost per year? Anyone know!?[/quote] Yeah, I can answer this one. I have two who play travel, and have played since the age of 5. Started at 2 and 4 with skating. Oldest is headed to college to play now, having gone to boarding school in New England to play (which is the highest level of play after "travel"). Top tier travel hockey is Tier 1 AAA, in this area Little Capitols or Team MD. But I digress. It starts off with travel as a Mite, around age 5. Usually playing at A or AA level. That's relatively cheap, you're paying under $8k/yr per child then. It escalates up from there as the expenses get higher, trips longer, equipment more costly, etc. The last year we tracked expenses, we hit roughly $30k for oldest child. Kids are both in private schools, so we pay over $200k/yr for the kids sports + school alone. Ok, now I'm a little queasy....[/quote]
