I forgot to mention the league/ice time fees and the travel costs. As I recall it was about $1500 for the ice a season Sep-May. Then the cost for trips. It wasnt bad when you played locally but we played in Detroit, St Louis, NY and Canada for the weekend. Hotels, plane fare, car or we sometimes drove. Then feeding a bottomless pit that is playing 1-2 games a day. Headphones are nothing compared to it.

good lord! So that's why the kids at my high school that play hockey all have big houses!

no matter what hobby you choose, there will always be someone who will criticize it. for what it's worth- who cares what anyone else thinks!!!!

THis last year I didn't sign up for hockey (because it got too expensive) and I started playing whenever I wanted to at the local outdoor park rink where 12-year-olds play after school---I had a great time, and it didn't cost me squat.

But....

I own 10 ukuleles with a combined value of close to $10,000. And I love having them and playing them. I tell people; if they don't get it fine, I'm wierd. So are they. So is everybody.

Funny how people don't think it's wierd when you say you're going to Vegas to piss away money for a vacation!

What's it like having a ukelele collection? Is like, one a 12-string, one a Gibson, one signed by Steve Vai or some such? Maybe one with a whammy bar, distortion pedal and high end pickups? Thrash ukelele. Rock.

I have a ukelele from when I was really little and my 2-year-old son found it in a closet at my parents' place and started playing (with) it. He now knows the "my dog has fleas" tune for tuning the strings, although when he says it, it comes out more like "dog-a-pease". Oh well. He's adorable.

Here's your problem. Most high school kids are tools.
