Which pieces of equipment does my child require to play hockey?
The following list indicates the type of equipment your child will require to play hockey as well as transport his or her equipment:

- Neck Guard
- Shoulder Pads
- Elbow Pads
- Hockey Gloves
- Hockey Pants (the bottom of the hockey pants should be just above the top of your child’s shin pads)
- Jock or Jill
- Shin Pads

What other costs can I expect other than the initial registration costs?
As each hockey team is formed, volunteer coaches and a manager will be selected to teach, instruct and co-ordinate your child’s hockey experience.
Your hockey season will comprise of hockey practices (indoor and outdoor), regular season & playoff games, and tournament games.
Your team could be registered in as many tournaments as the team decides. Tournament costs are extra, and usually shared by each child on the team.
Practices
Each team is allocated a finite number of indoor practice ice by the league. Indoor practice ice required above and beyond what is allocated, will be at the cost of the team. This is a team decision and the amount of practices will vary amongst teams.
Your child’s team could practice once, twice or three times a week. To pay for additional indoor practice ice, hockey team managers will collect cheques or cash throughout the season to pay for the purchase of this additional ice. Expect at your child’s first team meeting, to be asked for a cheque for ice time. The treasurer will then deposit this money into your team account, and it will be used to secure ice time. The manager of your child’s hockey team is responsible to find his or her team practice ice. Rinks normally charge between $150 per hour, to $170 per hour, to rent ice.
Your team manager may also coordinate the purchase of hockey team socks, this is so all the players have the same uniform style/colors of sock that closely match your team’s uniform colors. Team socks vary in cost dependant on which retailer they are purchased from and can range between $9 and $20.
Tournaments
If your team decides to enter hockey tournaments, your team manager will collect each parents/guardians equivalent share of the registration fee to enter the tournament. Other tournament costs depending on where the tournament is held may include accommodations and travel costs. Tournament registration fees vary greatly dependent on venue and guaranteed games. Tournament fees can range from $300 to $650 per team.
We feel it is appropriate for all parents and guardians to be aware of these additional costs and to budget for these additional costs, in which your team will probably encounter throughout their season. To offset a lot of these additional costs, many teams undertake a variety of fundraising activities.. Fundraising activities are at the discretion of the team and require additional parents or guardians to coordinate.
Fundraising
One popular way to raise additional funds throughout a regular season for your hockey team is to undertake a 50/50 draw. The 50/50 is managed by the Home Team during each scheduled season game. Usually set of parents, from the team, take turns selling 50/50 during these scheduled games. The funding is then submitted to the Team Manager for deposit to the team account. Most tournaments hold their own 50/50 draws, therefore, during tournaments 50/50 collection is not permitted.
Another popular fundraiser is the Bud, Spud and Steak. There are many venues around the city, that support these types of fundraisers.
The treasurer of your child’s team can provide regular statements of funding collected, and the allocation of monies over the course of the scheduled season.
