I remember asking my dad again after the flames beat the oilers in 86 when I was 10 if I could play next year, and he could tell how much I wanted to so he said he would look into it. I was so hopeful but then he called a friend who had 2 kids in hockey and asked him to ballpark what it cost and he said it was just too much. Still hate all the kids who played. Lol.

Ditto.
"We have no money....so you're going to play Soccer....because its cheap like Borscht!"
Now...I love Soccer, but I also love Hockey, but I can barely skate. The boards are how I stop.
I often hear the comment "What? A Canadian who cant skate? Absurd!"
It is my great shame.
