How much do you pay to play hockey?

[DarkStar50 679]

I'm in a group that has been skating together over 25 years. The older I get the faster I was. It is organized with the same 24 guys paid up for 13 weeks x 4 = 52 weeks/ 1 year. each 13 week "season" cost $260. So if you make all 13 games, its $20 a skate. You always miss a few. This way the rink is paid and we are set. The rink is a dump, Sport-O-Rama in Monsey, NY. Our ice time though is cherry: Friday night at 6:25 pm to 7:55 pm. The $260 includes adult beverages and pretzels in the locker room after the game. We have so much fun in the locker room after the game that we haven't taken off our skates yet and the group that went on after us is already coming off the ice while we continue to "relax." When we started 25 years ago at Low Tor Ice Rink in Haverstraw, NY(since torn down), it cost $4, pay as you show up! The good old days.

I play in a high school league as a college student (I just don't play in any games) and I paid $650 + fundraising money I didn't sell for this season. Practice once or twice from September to 1st week of March.

Last year, I paid $1600 to play Varsity for my high school at St. Louis, Missouri. It's just way too much, but we were shorthanded for the most part.

Inline hockey here is 150.00 for a 10 game season + playoffs.

[yipperzz 28]

roller hockey is ~$150 per person for a 10 game season depending on the rink here in orange county, ca.

ice hockey is ~$450 per person for a ~25 game season. again depends on the rinks. there are nicer rinks that charge more or give you less games per season.

wow, and to think I got irked when my roller leagues went up. Used to be 75 for 12 games and playoffs, now it's 90. 90 every two months for the league and playoffs plus a 25 annual fee. Dunno about ice around here though, though last I knew a couple hours of drop in for ice was only 6-7 dollars.

Yeah and if it rained we were pretty much SOL.

My mom knows the the assistant GM of the Jr. A Rangers and he said he would evalute me and train me in anything I needed, he said I could play just needed a bit of help with my positional play and said he would help me out and get me a spot on the team..

I play in a few adult / beer leagues in Los Angeles.

Glacial Gardens in Lakewood, CA costs about $25 per game for our 12-player team.

Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo, CA has team fees and w/ a 15 man roster it costs us $20 per game but rumor has it costs will be going up for the summer season.

Pick-up runs from $10-20 for an hour to an hour and half or more depending on the host and number of players.

MI beer leagues

[Edge 0]

Well I won't go into travel hockey expenses as the family pays for that fortunately.

Sticktimes here run $12 and range from 1-3 hours.

Pickups here run $15 and are usually an hour & 15 min.

High school hockey is $950 for about 20 games plus 15 practice slots and you get one game at Glendale(Jobing.com) Arena and US Airways Center. And of course the playoffs.

[GSHL99 0]

The three big beer leagues around here run about $500 for a 22 game season plus play-offs.

Drop-in's are $10 at most rinks.

[greech 4]

For high school hockey here it's $120. 21 games plus the state tournament, transportation (bus, ferry for a few games), and an hour of practice ice every day from the end of November to mid-March.

umm i pay 1500$ CAD for registration, and then we pay for hotel rooms once a month on a average and pay for food, and if we go to a tournamaent and take a bus we pay liek 40$ per player.

also to play the for high school when we arent playing i pay 150$ but shoulda payed 50$ but coach did not give me enough notice.

[All Torhs Team 0]

For roller hockey, rat hockey and practices are free for me. :D

I can go in whenever I want, and can stay as late as I want.

Helps when your coach basically founded the rink and manages the place.

[henkka 0]
