The investment of time and money for my kids to play MHL hockey, I would not have played. My family has no car I took the bus to games and practices and some parents and the coach took us to and from games and we did not have money for tournaments outside the city either. I have two children and have little or no family time when both (and brother), you can see one of the games of our child together.
Not signed it MHL hockey. Not all parents and hockey player wants to be a stepping stone to the National Hockey League. But this is not the way the league is now at home. Games away we keep busy for an average of 2 ½ to 3 hours and can take up to five hours of travel time, play time, and before after the change (30 minutes before the game, after 15 minutes the parts). As the season progresses, the more frustrated I get. This is not or MHL hockey. This is not Rep. B. It is the home league.
The system is defined by the levels of power from one to the other, so that the levels A, we also Rep B, so a follow-up call is available when a player is injured or can not play. Children have limited ice time with three lines before and three sets of D. My two children play house league, so they can do other things. They do not want to do off-ice MHL hockey training, they want to have fun, and participate in activities outside of hockey. They want time to snowboard, go out with friends. As parents.
We do not spend our time taking them to from the slopes, or spend $ 1200 $ 1800 per season ($ 400-600 per tournament) per child for tournaments in the city. It is ridiculous. The son of a friend of mine who lives in MHL hockey Montreal plays Saturday and an optional practice during the week.
