Minor Hockey Talks - Hockey Forum

Chat about Spring hockey tryouts, how they have been, how many kids were out, etc.

As a first time parent, I am curious what the costs look like?

I understand like fall teams that will probably vary. But, what about a team that is doing 3 or 4 local tournaments? What should that cost?

What is usual turnaround time between the tryout and hearing back from a team?

Anyone hear back from Bulldogs yet?

They contacted me directly, asking if my son was interested in accepting a spot. We declined. Deciding not to do Spring hockey this year.

I got an email yesterday, looked like I was BCC'd asking if we would accept a spot. We did.

As a parent in this group with an another player several years older, I recommend not paying some bs coach anything for spring hockey (unless it's part of your winter teams program). It is nothing but a cash grab. These professional coaches make it seem like your kid needs to play spring hockey to be successful but that is nothing but a lie. They want your money and nothing more. The hockey is awful, the coaches don't really coach and are usually running 3 or 4 teams at once and the price is astronomical for hockey that means absolutely nothing. Take half that money and put your kid in a good, reputable hockey school one or two days a week for training, and/or put him/her on a Canlan pickup team spring team for $300. If you don't believe me ask any parent with an older kid on a successful team what their summer routine is and you will hear the same story; they got suckered for years paying for spring, and now, in retrospect, they see how pointless it was.
