i'm willing to bet half the replies in here are from people who have families that are well off and would complain if something they loved was taken away.


OP, that's really shitty but try not to let your parents know how much it bums you out because i'm sure they feel awful that they can't fund it for you. Money issues suck man, being a "real person" now i have plenty of my own and it's very frustrating to say the least.

no one gives a shit that you can't play hockey. suck it up, be a big boy, and quick depending on your parents to carry you through life.

Is this a school league? At my highschool sports were like 300 bucks, 6 grand is pretty steep. Is there a way you could play in a different league that doesn't cost as much?

Try to talk to the league rep or someone and see if there are any posibilities for sponsorships/financial aid or if they can put you on a payment plan.

Hockey sucks, don't worry. Skiing is much better and cheaper.

NS doesn't need to know what's going on in your life.

You're parents are probably broke because they spent too much like everyone in the world did. If that's the case, then you can learn from this and don't spend money you don't have because you will be fucked in life.

PS, don't bitch and complain about it to your parents, they are probably stressed to the max.
