I wouldn't worry about your kids hockey career since unless you don't mind him getting stabbed every once in a while you'll be too broke from paying for private school you won't be able to afford rink fees.
You should also hope that you've never been sick before in your life since even if you get group health coverage, you'll inevitability end up fighting with your insurance company over every claim you make. Even if you get "Cadillac" insurance you'll be on the hook for co-pays on every visit and paying about 20% on all procedures (kid needs a lumbar MRI after hyperextending back in net = $6000).
Houston specifically? Terrible weather unless you enjoy permasweat, air quality = terrible, closest NHL team Stars. Galveston is the tail end of the butt end of Americas toilet. Hell, I'd rather live in Dallas than Houston and that's not saying much.
Wifey wife better make the big bucks. I'm a wealthy elitist, but the economic disparity in Houston is pretty ridiculous.
