The first year my kid registered for hockey in Calgary it cost $20. They played that year on outdoor rinks. I think it hit about $500 when he played Bantam AA, at the time the highest level in Calgary. He never made it past minor pro but he's still playing hockey, coaching his daughter's team and it's a part of his social life, so I figure it was just a part of being a parent, to get him involved. I don't know how I'd handle the new needs for being competitive.
