I would change things - specifically, I would avoid travel hockey and invest in other sports. My kid played several years of AAA hockey, and we're now strongly encouraging (borderline bribing) him to fall back to AA and high school hockey. One year of AAA hockey cost us over $40,000 - including 12 out-of-state tournaments, many that required getting on planes (including some spring/summer trips, which most kids on the team do), equipment, clinics, skills lessons, and some time with a group trainer. Beyond the financial sacrifice, it consumed significant family time and limited our vacations.  [/quote]

Just for fun, I went to the Wisconsin Badgers Men’s webpage to see where the players were from . . . That is they are from no name towns like Altoona Wisconsin to Stockholm Sweden and of course all over Canada:  https://www.uscho.com/stats/roster/wisconsin/mens-hockey/

The men’s team is meh this year but women hockey are the champions:  they hail from all over the North with one born in LA and one from Annapolis — https://www.eliteprospects.com/team/19433/univ.-of-wisconsin.

You play hockey for the love of the fastest sport in the world, not for college prospects.  [/quote]
