Hockey
The sport with the biggest bill and the longest year.
You are committing to ice in the spring for a season that starts in the fall, and the family bill is four figures before anyone laces a skate. The association runs from August tryouts to March banquets, and volunteer hours are part of the deal rather than a favour.
Three things that bite in hockey.
- A four-figure season fee, paid by families with different means.
- Payment plans with a deposit and automatic installments, plus promo codes and adjustments for the board-approved cases — and bank payments at a rate about half of card, which on a fee this size is real money to the family.
- Jerseys and goalie gear go out and do not all come back.
- Equipment is tracked as issued and returned against the player, so the August conversation starts from a list rather than a memory.
- Volunteer hours are owed, and chasing them is nobody’s job.
- Shifts families claim themselves, a buyout for families who would rather pay, and a running balance of who still owes hours.
The rest is the same for every sport.
Registration and payments, payment plans, teams and roster offers, scheduling, communication, volunteering, equipment, your store, check-in at the door and reports — one flat $750 a year, with no size tiers.
