[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We spent $10-$15K/year all in on hockey for 13 years, knowing full well our child was never going to play in college. But that was never the point. They loved playing, we could afford it, and it was a delightful family activity. Costs: club tuition/tryout fees. Uniforms and gear (SO MANY STICKS AND SKATES). Skate sharpening. Many miles on the road to many tournaments. Private coaching. Sticks and pucks. Generally played 10 months a year with a mix of travel, rec, and HS.[/quote] Sadly (for me) this sounds about right. Definitely spent less at younger ages, and more during HS, but that average is probably right. Our kid is now playing ACHA (club) D2 hockey in college (no scholarship money, for those unfamiliar with ACHA). No regrets on what we spent, because he loves the sport and pushed it as far as he (reasonably) could.[/quote]
