Pretty out of touch, if they think "poor" people got $400 to throw at hockey.Winter is Coming wrote:At the risk of getting banned here for wandering off topic.... Is it just me or have them spent more time that usual talking about how you don't have to be rich to play hockey. They actually had a guy go out to a sporting goods place and price out 3 different levels of gear ranging from about 400 to abuot 1800 and talk about how even you poor folks can play. I did notice though that they did not mention goalie gear on that segment. I bet you don't get into that line of work for $400, probably not even $1800.
No mention of association fees, either. That's usually the one that prices out the younger kids. Its not hard to find gear on the cheap if you look hard enough or don't mind wearing used stuff. The ice time, tourney fees, and travel expenses are where the major expenses come from at the youth level, which is the audiences they appear to be targeting with these blurbs.puckbreath wrote:Pretty out of touch, if they think "poor" people got $400 to throw at hockey.Winter is Coming wrote:At the risk of getting banned here for wandering off topic....

By that definition, a LOT of folks are "poor".
The only thing that ever held me back from playing hockey.PuckRanger wrote:No mention of association fees, either. That's usually the one that prices out the younger kids.

Nothing a good set of rollerblades, an old wood stick, a street puck, and a cardboard box goal can't fix though.
Sorry to hear thatCadets16 wrote:*currently attend
STA has one of the best financial aid programs of all the privates.
It's up there, though I don't know the exact statistics. If you count Shattuck, I'm positive they are the most expensive, followed by Blake and Breck. Ironically, Blake and Breck also have very good financial assistance.puckbreath wrote:How does it rank cost-wise with the others ?Cadets16 wrote:*currently attend

Is that what you guys call it there? Catholic Education?Cadets16 wrote:It's up there, though I don't know the exact statistics.

I feel like a Catholic school of the Archdiocese would hesitate to turn somebody down due to cost if they really do want to further their Catholic education.
Jokes aside though, the school's grants are around $9,400 per student. They help to get students in the door.Yeah, most times, the most expensive schools, offer the most aid, but the resulting cost is still higher than others.Cadets16 wrote:It's up there, though I don't know the exact statistics.

Yeah, on the average that may be a good statement. There's always those students though that get far more aid or far less depending on their true needs.puckbreath wrote:Yeah, most times, the most expensive schools, offer the most aid, but the resulting cost is still higher than others.

So it bothers you that much?NLHockey wrote:Gonna have to go see some games in person. Announcers mispronunciations driving me crazy. It's not CH-sago lakes it's SHHisago Lakes. Sounds like SHI$ NOT CHIT. Somebody must have said something to them after the 1st ...they finally started to pronounce it correctly. Now they need to get some of the kids' last names right.
