cool any idea what i will be looking at for the gear and enrollment fee?

Well, are you looking at playing this season or next? Not all arenas go year-round and we are already nearing the end of this season. Fees tend to be pretty high, even for Rec League, depending on how much ice time your team gets. Gear is gonna cost you at least $400, depending on quality you choose, and you are gonna need an extra stick too. You might be able to find some used stuff on Kijijii.

So the answer is: There is no answer... you need to make some phonecalls dude!

You rank hockey over quadding? Why do have to be that way?

this is probly a stupid question but........ are their tryouts or do you just kind-of sign up?

Just sign up, unless you are going to the big leagues...

just a heads up and im sure many will agree, sledding costs a lot. even once you buy the sled and gear etc, it costs about a buck a mile at the MINIMUM. by the time you pay for parts, oil, gas, regular maintanence etc, it costs a lot no matter what sled you run. if you think ur gonna pick up a sled for 5g say and think it will run flawlessly for even a year, good luck. i know i like to keep my machines up to par which means buying parts often whether it's ski rods, skins, the odd broken leaver, maybe a recoil rope, light bulb... the occasionall windshield and set of handle bars... and it costs a lot.. not saying you wont have money for anything else but just make sure you keep that in the budget!!! my .02
