I wished my wife got paid for all the work she does getting DD to all her travel softball events, packing, food, laundry, driving to and from, emotional support, tutoring just to list a few!!
I have never directly asked how much my friends spend on their son's hockey, but based on conversations I would bet it is $20K+.

Having been a travel hockey parent for 14 years, I can say without a doubt, it cost way more than travel softball, but I wouldn't trade those years for anything. All the friends we made, places traveled, and most of all what it provided for my son.

Expensive though it may be, that money buys you great experiences, friends, and unforgettable moments. Worth it!
I think competitive cheer beats all. Rumors have it that a local org is like $4K tuition, then the facility rent is split monthly based on the number of girls. Makeup, glitter and outfits are all extra. All the travel for less than 3 minutes of an event. I'll happily pay for travel softball over that any day of the week.
Competitive dance and figure skating are right up there, too.
Not letting DD see this thread..... If she realized I was getting off the hook cheap.... Oh my!
