[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does it matter if they are a registered non profit or not, if the cost is essentially the same as other clubs nearby? Goodwill is a non profit and I think their CEO makes over a million a year.

This is a ridiculous discussion. We’re talking about tier ii hockey and you all are acting like their coaches should be former d1 players that are announced 6 months before tryouts.

Backstroms kid played at stj, carlsons kid plays at myha. There’s no difference. It’s tier ii hockey. [/quote]

That's a really bad argument. Just because two things cost the same amount of money does not make them equivalent. The salaries for paid coaches don't appear out of thin air - they come directly out of what players pay in team fees. That means less money for practices, less money for games, less money for skill clinics. That's why so many people in the area don't send their kids for STJ - they want value for their money, not piss poor paid coaches.[/quote]

You think you get “more for your money” than you do at other youth clubs? Now that’s a bizarre take. We live in Bethesda right near the beltway and my kids played at tce, myha, Reston and stj. They all had their pros and cons and their own individual cultures, but to say you get more value for money at those compared to stj does not line up with my experience. IMO it’s a net wash.

Find the right club for your kid …I’d let traffic play a huge factor (why we shifted from tce/myha to Reston/stj…they was actually easier get to for us), but to search for reasons to bash stj is makes me think something else is going on.[/quote]

Go to any programs with public schedules for their teams and compare the number of hours of ice time between them and a comparable team at STJ. If their cost is nearly identical to STJ, then they more time on the ice than STJ. Full stop.[/quote]
