peewee football isn't particularly expensive either and it is a contact sport like hockey.
That's only if you go to a football school though. Football is also an expensive sport, but it's so ingrained in US culture that most kids get their gear through fundraising or their school. But if you're one of those kids that know they're getting a scholarship at Alabama or something and are going to private school like IMG, it's still obnoxiously expensive.

Contrary to what people think because of stereotypes from movies like Boyz N the Hood, foootball is not a sport you use to "get out of the projects" or whatever. A new football helmet costs $1000.

Basketball and soccer are the only cheap team sports left. Even baseball is expensive is some ways.

jesus christ why is it that expensive
Few reasons.

-It's highly specialized both to stop the puck and protect the goalie. Remember that high level hockey players can shoot the puck 100 MPH. Hell I was an average hockey player and could still shoot around 60-70.
-Made in North America so there's no sweat shop discounts like on stuff like clothes.
-Hockey brand names is like the Gucci of sporting equipment.

Yea there are no scholarships for hockey unless maybe in Minna-sota. I hear it's cold too.
Minnestota high school hockey is organized like high school football in Alabama/Texas etc, so that alleviates some of the cost. The majority of US players come from Minnesota.

why are goalies specifically from rich backgrounds more? is it because their equipment is super expensive or something?
Yes. As I said I wanted to play goalie growing up, but only got to play two years as a Peewee before switching to skater because of the equipment cost.

Hockey isn't like high school football in the States where the school often provides the costs, in hockey you're on your own.

With a basic set of goalie equipment costing about 4K, and kids growing out of it constantly, the costs add up quick.

i never played myself, not much of an athlete
Yeah goalies are some characters for sure. As I said, they're usually eccentric rich kids which is part of it. They're also usually the biggest kid on the team which is always tough growing up as well.

its got to be getting worse cost wise right, everything is

a family pretty much needs a car on the road and 1000s a year to have their kid in hockey right? And if theyre at a high level that kid and the family has to travel a ton right?

do you not like goalies lol?
It's getting worse, but the main cost is the actual ice time, equipment is doable.

And yes you have a point, it's a big commitment if the kid gets good.

And I'd say I'm more jealous of goalies then disliking them. I wanted to play goalie so bad growing up but my family couldn't afford it so I played center instead. Goalie equipment is ridiculously pricey. About $4000+ for a new set. To put it in perspective, my best friend's buddy was a high level goalie growing up, and his dad daily drives an Audi R8. That's the level goalie parents are on lol.

Sorry, didn't mean to come off as an asshole, it just annoys me as a former hockey player that people have that thought about the cost of the game. I was raised by a single mom and still managed to be on the ice 5 times a week.

Like I said if you're talking about goalies, yeah, their parents are minted, but there's a lot of examples of poor hockey players black or white.

idk, some of its its cultural, some of its the cost, racism even maybe
Nah, there's actually more now then back then. Granted a lot of them are bi-racial so it's not always obvious.

But yeah money is definitely a huge issue. A lot of the stories of poor players making the NHL are of black heritage. Wayne Simmonds, Anthony and Chris Stewart, Donald Brashear etc. Plus the Wisdom brothers Zayde and Zacchrya, but they're more prospects then full time NHLers.

Honestly, his first mixtape and early singles weren't horrible. Not exactly Grammy bait, but they were fun enough songs for parties. But a lot of that early stuff was done with Zillakami, who actually is a consistently good rapper, so there you go I guess.

I could maybe understand if you lived with a trembling old relative with a weak immune system, but it really feels like you want the world to be shut down forever.

Need some beginner advice when it comes to machine guns.

Going to Arizona April 1, and going to try and set up a time at the Scottsdale Gun Club. I've shot rifles and handguns back when I was a teenager, but for obvious reasons have absolutely no experience when it comes to anything bigger, and the rental list is a little overwhelming since all I recognize is the AK-47 and the Uzi because of media.

What's a good beginner option for someone who has absolutely no idea what they're doing? Cheers!
