If you get the DSLR then you will ski more, film a bunch, and get better at skiing. If you play hockey then you play hockey. But, if hockey is something you love as much as skiing then go with hockey. If this was me i would go DSLR but I'm not a hockey guy.

Have you ever played AAA? imo, its less fun. Everyone is sooooo serious, ive never really liked hockey but was always good enough to make the AAA teams which pissed people's parents off. Hockey 5 times a week is so repeptive. Unless your going pro (im freinds with the player who drafted 2 overall to the OHL), its such a waste of time. Anyone who played can vouch that it takes up so much time. I played b last year and had the time of my life just fighting and smoking kids. I could rant about this forever so im gonna end here.

GOOD CHOICE. I TOO BOUGHT A DSLR. It is gonna waste so much money. Ive already got over a 1000 into the rig and i haven't even used it yet. It will be well worth the money.

I'm trying to think of what your actual situation is:

1. You don't like playing hockey competitively or you are not good at it (maybe the team is full of douche bags).
2. Hockey takes up time for other things you like to do (skiing (acceptable), photography).
3. Your mom doesn't want to drive you around to hickey practice or games anymore (or doesn't like the other parents) or thinks hockey is too dangerous.

Playing a team sport when you are young is one of the most fun things to do, ever. And you only have one chance to do it...when you're young. A camera is a material good that can be bought at anytime during your life (assuming you are willing to work and save $).

Why don't you play hockey and get the camera for Christmas or something. Prices will only go down.
