We are right there with you. Virtually every team my son has been on, we were on the low rung in regards to the socioeconomic ladder. We still are. A couple years ago he was on a team with a boy who had his own rink on their property. And I don't mean a backyard do-it-yourself rink. This thing is impressive, they have a zamboni too.

Not to mention their house, which looked like a ski resort. In Dayton Ohio! lol!
