Players in all the Senior Hockey Leagues will pay more this fall. A rink employee we spoke with last night noted that the I-league price hasn't gone up, "in forever." And, let's face it folks, the electricity bill must be costing Tom Hicks a fortune. (Sure, you say, he can afford it easier than we workin' stiffs.)
Still, this won't be easy for some folks.
For I-League, the price for individual registration has been raised from $199 to $219 for the season that begins Sept. 30. In addition, StarCenter is now requiring everyone to register with USA Hockey, which costs an extra $30. Together, the fees represent a net increase of 25%. A tip: Sign up with a team instead of individually, and you might save 20 bucks. The team fee is $2,900. For 14 players and a goalie, the per-player price is $200 for skaters and $100 for goalies.
For Senior Leagues -- that's D-League and up -- the price has been raised to $8,000 per team, or $669 per individual registrant. Plus you must register with USA Hockey -- another $30. That comes out to about $23 per game. The season starts Oct. 9.

For I-League registration, you'll have to go to the rink and get the form. The link on their website appears to be broken. Man, could they ever use a new web master.

USA Hockey is actually $35 or $36
$30 for USA Hockey
$6 for TAHA
$36 pays for 1 year of USA hockey and 1 year of TAHA. USA Hockey pays for the insurance that DPSC normally would have to purchase. I don't know what TAHA does. Just more money out of our pockets...
What does that "insurance" cover? THe Stars' Liability? How does that help Joe Ileaguer?
Maybe Hicks will use the extra money to get the Rangers a decent pitcher (or 2 at this rate)!!!!!
