Here’s a question. Is there any teams that make enough money from their gate, 50/50’s, and any other game day activities such as lounge or scoreboard squares to cover the cost of running your team for the year? Imports, sticks, fuel, refs, ice rental, etc..Or are you dependent on fundraising within the community to survive.
And is the existence of your senior club vital to the sustainability of your rink?

I can't see any team that pays mileage, gives sticks, and pays imports making it without fundraising or other donations. I'd say throughout the province it costs teams $50,000-100,000/year to operate. |

And any centre that has a full slate of minor hockey should be fine... those that don't would rely on Senior for sure to help keep the doors open. |

I am gay I haven’t told my senior coach or magenment or the organization yet what should I do? |

Not sure. That’s a real out of blue kind of question. Impossible to know the seriousness of this question, but I hope you’re not trying to be funny. So I’m just going to opt out of this stream. Good luck with everything.

And is the existence of your senior club vital to the sustainability of your rink? it all depends on the team and community. Teams that don't pay players can easily operate off of gate, 50/50, beer gardens, alone. Everything varies vastly from town to town, league to league. |

Teams that have good local players can
Obviously but teams that are broomball quality
Need to have somebody support. And it does happen
It’s brutal for the league to have teams like that
And it’s why leagues fail.
Playoffs keep the rink open and it keeps
The interest of young players involved
In hockey. Seeing your team hammered by
Touchdowns in playoffs just doesn’t cut it.

Skilled teams don’t have to go looking far for
Support it will come to them.

Twin rivers or the Wheatland can possibly go without fundraising to survive. But little chance anyone
else can.
I’m thinking those figures of $100,000 plus are way high. I’m guessing “AVERAGE” cost of SVHL is 40-50 (Kenaston might be the exception) and the LLHL is closer to $60-70
No doubt there a few out there pushing $100 K
Here’s the thing about wicked deadly. Either teams are telling us some ridiculous LOW amount of $$
While others are guessing some way HIGH amount$$$.
My guess the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Back in the early 90's the cost to run our team was around $35000. That was paying for sticks (wood) and paying one import $300 per game. I would expect it to be at least twice as much now.

I would expect it to be at least twice as much now. cheapest sticks you can buy that players will use are 150-175 a stick, and I know for a fact there are several teams in the LLHL/SVHL that had payrolls around 2500 a game. so you do the math on a 25 game season (just league) thats $62,500 just to pay players, then you have ice rental, league fees, refs, registration, sticks, advertising costs... it all adds up. 100K in the LLHL is a lock. and thats without going provincials either. is it like this everywhere... nope, but you look at teams that are winning their leagues and making it to provincial finals, their budgets for sure. |

I would think most teams are in $8-12000 range just for ice rental. Add in expenses such as tape and medical supplies, refs, and everything else I bet the bare minimum to operate is $20,000.

Yeh, I think that amount was pretty high even for the 90’s. You must be from a rink with a lot of banners. The top dogs in the 90’s got 300. Most were less, and not many teams picked up sticks and mileage as well. I was on a team that paid about $800 each game on imports. Had refs, and ice rent to pay, but never sticks and mileage and never would we pay our locals. They would been shot for andking . And we won a few Provi banners as well. |
