I can easily see how not everyone’s parents are willing or able to shell out that kind of money… Plus the cost of equipment and whatever else. > However we had a ton of different fund raisers that you could elect to participate in or not. My dad and i agreed that he’d pay half if i raised the other half… seemed like a good deal to me. if its something you really wanted to do you probably could have done it. > plus entry level hockey equipment really isnt that expensive. barely more than your roller gear… i think it would probably be doable. if you want “nicer” stuff then get a job and pay for the more expensive stuff yourself. > like i said, its doable. and that pretty much sums it up :bowdown: but that is all I am looking for is something recreational, ice gets taken to seriously imo. The 2 times that I did play on actual ice rinks the ppl were pricks because I wasnt as fast as they are and as good as they are. I grew up playing on a fucking basketball court… what do you expect lol. I will say this though, just from playing football I love the hitting part of the game… the ppl that take the contact personally are pussies… unless its actually a legit reason --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/roller-hockey/197531)._
