          I'm sorry, I meant that a summer season in Chicago was $2700
          per team, not per person. I guess that sounded high to me
          because I've only played in roller hockey leagues so far,
          and the most expensive one I know of is $950/team. (We're
          definitely not playing the cheapest sport around!)


          As a side-note, I'm wondering how many people play
          rollerhockey in addition to ice hockey. (That's how I got
          started in ice hockey actually.) Do you find that it helps
          or detracts from your ice hockey game?

          For me, roller hockey has been the only way I could learn
          how to play hockey until I could get ice time. While it
          doesn't allow you to learn how to stop on ice, I picked up a
          lot of stickhandling, general skating skills, and hockey
          strategy while playing roller hockey. I would definitely
          recommend it for those of you who can't find an ice rink
          close enough to home, or who can't find a beginner's team
          that will take you. It will give you a head start
          (especially since you can play it off-season).
