>>2451602Hockey is bolth difficult and expensive to learn/ play. To put a kid on the ice it's atleast $500 to get him gear and another $20 for every time he has a practice or game. Not to mention that in most places you can only play in an expensive indoor arena, so say goodbye to having more than one rink (if that) if you live in a working class neighborhood.
Compare this to soccer/ basketball/ football where you have to spend fuck all on gear and can play year round
