[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talked to a soccer parent last night - $3k season and his kid goes through 3 pairs of $150 boots per season. Same amount of travel as cbhl/ahf hockey. Upper a hockey costs $3750 and my kid is in his third season of $700 skates. It’s all the same. They know how much parents can pay and charge it.[/quote]

Playing upper-level AAA hockey it s sooooo much more expensive than upper-level soccer. The team dues alone typically cost over $7,000. While you have your skate costs about right (though some skates are more like $1,200 including w part of ra of blades) sticks can run about $300 each, and kids often break several each season.  pads add another $500. Travel costs are where they rally get you, with plane trips averaging around $2,000 each, and there are usually many trips throughout the season.  They play 50-60 games, mostly in travel tournaments.  Add in ice time, privates, skate sharpening. The financial costs of AAA hockey is prob 3x ECNL soccer. [/quote]
