My son turns seven this week. Currently he is playing initiation in Red Deer. I just registered him for spring hockey. I was curious to see what other parents in different parts of the province, or country, are paying for spring hockey at this age (or any age for that matter). What the experience was like, and what did your kid think of playing spring league?
With tax the fees here in Red Deer cost $729.00 for april and may.

It all depends on how many ice times, how many tournaments, track suits etc... I've been involved with prices ranging from $400- $1500 in Southern AB. As for my thoughts
-a lot of feelings get hurt over spring hockey
-it is a money maker for those who run the teams
-it isn't what it once was as there are so many teams now
-good kids who don't play are quickly passed by the good kids who do play
-it is essential if you or your kid plan on going anywhere in hockey
-soccer sucks and weather wise baseball season is too short so spring hockey it is
