I see your pont hehehe to funny. I agree with the cost being a factor my parents hated the fact I chose to be a goalie they loved watching me play but hated having to pay. I always has custom made equipment not you average off the shelf stuff so my equipment costs per year ran into the thousands on top of paying for the league I played in and the travel time and hotels etc for all my games. A season cost my family about 12 grand and they paid till I made it to juniour so from the age of 4 to the age of 16.
Which is harder: Hitting a baseball thrown at 80-100 MPH or, checking someone against the boards? Catching a fly ball hit in the air about 30 yards to your right and going over your head, or passing a puck? Throwing the ball to first after recieving it from the 2nd baseman, moving to your left while the baserunner is taking your legs out from under you, or getting the puck on a face off?
