i find this subject most interesting as my son is 10 and a goalie. Just this year, we bought new skates (because he was having trouble with the used ones I bought him), he rec'd new pads for christmas plus he has going to GDI lately to train - plus he had three different summer hockey things.
I'd estimate our investment in his season so far as $2,600 or so.......

Shame on you for viewing this as an investment. You spent $2,600 this year on your son's past time. Nothing more, nothing else. If you view this as an investment you're doing him a huge disservice and setting yourself up for a long and hard fall back to reality
