Spares on a League Team

[johnson_13 0]

So we are starting a league team this summer

i havent played organized hockey in 10 years i'm so hype! LOL

been playing pickup but its just not the same!

anyhoo

we have a 14 man roster and obviously there will be some players missing every so often and we will need spares

we have a list of guys who can fill in thats all good

but when buddies of mine had asked me in the past if i cud replace a guy they say it costs 10-15$ or so

i'm just curious to know what they do with that money?

is that what others do with their teams?

what do u do with ur spares?

THANKS!

Save it and throw it in for the league fees for the next season.

We don't charge spares, as we are just happy to have them sub in. If a spare plays often enough we may just ask him to bring beer one week.

It's beer money for the next game, or save it, as there is always a full time guy that ends up stiffing you.

how much are we talking about... maybe have a session at the end with the family involved and not just the guys?

With our team, any money left over at the end of the seaon is put towards a windup party.

Teams I've been on have:

Used it as beer money the following week

Saved it up and applied it towards the next season's league fees

Saved it up and applied it towards new sweaters/socks

Saved it up and used it to get practice ice during the summer

Saved it up and over time used it to buy a set of goalie gear that belonged to the team for emergencies

And I think one captain was using it to finance online porn

Really just seems to depend on the team and the captain. Never really seen anyone get too worked up on the "right thing" to do with sub money, as opposed to say the battles over whether the goalie pays to play or not.
