Then your kid is out. If you can’t do it then he’s out. It’s not everyone else’s fault. You should have waited to have a child until you were financial stable. Spring hockey is part of their development. Playing with the best players against the best players makes your kid better.hockeyrocks wrote: ↑Fri Jun 20, 2025 11:17 amYou losers care way too much about over priced spring hockey that means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!hockeyrocks wrote: ↑Fri Jun 20, 2025 10:53 amFact check:hockeyrocks wrote: ↑Fri Jun 20, 2025 8:35 am MC plays against his first decent team of the tournament today 7th place Hutson Hockey. PH and Hutson rosters are pretty evenly matched the only way PH loses this game is if their goaltending falls apart.

All of you are the reason why minor hockey is in the state it is in. The costs are way out of hand and only going up. It's not based on talent anymore, it's how much you can spend and who's palms you can grease.
I'm sick of the bull spit cliche that everyone drops that if your kid is talented, they will be discovered. Such a crock of crap. With 1000s of "Elite" "Rep" "High Performance" teams, how the hell can scouts watch all these teams and pick out little no names, when they have to spend time on 1000s of house league kids masquerading as rep level players.
Why can't you just show up and cheer on your kid? And be part of the movement to drive down pricing in hockey and make it more affordable for the average family?
I'd love to have my kid play rep and he could easily make rep but I don't have 6 nights a week and $5000+ to make that a reality.
The scouts do not care about these tournaments, they care about your kid when he is in his U16 draft year and 2 years after the OHL draft.
If you can’t afford it keep him training at home but don’t talk shit about people who have the money and want to make memories with their children and families.
