[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a figure skater with 2 hockey player kids, this is a stupid post. You are literally comparing apples to oranges. Other than the fact that you have blades on your feet ( which are completely different ) the two spirts are completely different and attract completely different athletes.  It’s accurate to say that ice hockey now attracts more girls but little chance those athletes were ever going to figure skate.  [/quote]

I have a girl who does both.  She's been far the best skater on her co-ed hockey team. She's still young and they keep trying to recruit her to tryout for a travel team - hard no. She's our baby and we’re done with that circus. Figure skating is nice because you can pick and choose competitions. Same with golf. I am done traveling for team sports. [/quote]

Isn't it supposed to be about you daughter??? If she really wants to play travel hockey, or travel anything, shouldn't you support it. It's about your kid and not about you. Encouraging and supporting your child by spending your time and money is called parenting. It's nauseating hearing selfish parents bloviate on this message board endlessly about what they won't do for their DC even though they have the wherewithal to do so. Stop being so selfish, grow up, put your child's interest ahead of yours. They'll be out of the house and off to college before you know it.[/quote]

My youngest daughter is living a great life without playing travel hockey.  We are playing golf with her in Hawaii while the travel hockey team is in Rochester.  Been there, done that.  No thanks. If you want to feed the youth sports machine with your money and all your weekends, that's on you.  We, however, are living our best life, making memories doing things we all love together.
