Well I will be honest if we just had to pay the league fees it wouldnt be so bad. We could make due easier. Its x mount bucks for 15 games. 12 players max. So $400 a person for half the gamesas you..... and its 1hr games.. 60 mins, 3 x18 min period clock only stops to switch sides. I have went and watched and they run em like cattle , games always on time .
The thing is being beginners , everyone has to buy all their own gear. We dont have used gear shops to buy from here . Hockey monkey gave use a deal for everything but skates , helmet , gloves, and sticks that seems pretty reasonable. Also we might have to purchase all the goalie equipment and then rotate every game who plays in goal. I think i have got my uncle to donate his old gear , if he can find it all!
So really if we dont get help we wont be able to afford to play. Its not something I like admitting but its the truth. I hate fundraising and asking for money but like I said , I will do it in this case if it means having the chance to try to play something I have acquired a love for. So, its feel like an idiot and asking for help or not playing . Ill play the idiot for a while and hopefully reap the rewards and enjoyment when my friends fall in love with this sport as much as I have.
We plan on having my wife tape our games and cutting it into a little Highlite, more like blooper, video to give to the people who helped us out . DO you think its going overboard to do the theo slide when I score my first ever goal in league ?
However Thanks Rico again for helping . I understand not everyone has the money to spare, or has to pay for themselves and their kids to play and thats fine. I wouldnt want this to take away from you and your family. I understand that a lot of people pay a lot of money for hockey. I am just saying if you want to help , and can afford to then it would be very very appreciated by a bunch of guys really wanting to learn to play hockey!
