Why do more kids play video games today?

My hockey stick in high school, today's hockey sticks! 

But hey, don't worry mom and dad, you can make payments!

 

$359.99 CCM JETSPEED FT7 PRO GRIP COMPOSITE

or monthly payments as low as 31.65.

Not many old hockey players here it looks like?  

Probably all video game players!

Never played organized hockey but I played pond/park hockey. It hurt when I needed to ask my mom for a new stick since the old one broke. I also remember getting the first white hockey tape instead of the black. Christian Bros or Northland. They weighed a ton compared to today's composite sticks.

That's why kids today are such wimps, they never had to swing the lumber!

Hockey gear in general is very expensive.  I was in a Pure Hockey last month to get my skates sharpened and while they were doing it I looked around at gear.  A new pair of CCM/Bauer customized skates can easily top 1000 bucks.  Then you need everything else.  It would be several thousand before you had everything.  And then your kid grows like a weed so you need to buy bigger gear.

 

Then there's goalie gear.  That's enough to buy a small boat.

 

Nothing cheap about that sport by any means.

Yep crazy.

I played goalie in HS and my two grandsons play hockey now.
