Wait till you have the medical bills to go along with these expenses!

Clean up crew? Did he faint and hockey* at the same time?

*If you live in the South Carolina low country, the term “hockey” (as in “horse hockey”) means to “poop” therefore, it’s a play on words.

Pure hockey, I say.

Oh! The good old hockey game! Its the best game you can name! And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game!

I never knew it was so expensive!

I think I’ll get the puck outta here

it’s only expensive if you play in an organized league which requires you to wear all that expensive equipment in order to play. (not to mention registration fees for all that expensive arena ice.) if you can find a frozen pond, and don’t mind the odd bumps and bruises, you can play a bit of shinny for a lot less. unfortunately, that sort of “unstructured” play seems to have gone the way of the Winnipeg Jets - which is to say, disappeared.

I learned to skate with hockey skates. When I eventually bought a pair of figure skates, it was amazing how good I had become. Hockey skates are much more difficult to master than figure skates.

That’s why I never got to play hockey.

and within two weeks the kid will be bored with hockey and want to try something else

Sports like everything else cost money, Talk about a major blow to the bank account.

Doesn’t he mean his wife’s checking account? Adam ain’t got no job!
