It’s almost tourney time!  That’s right; playoffs are just around the corner.  You can feel the excitement starting to build in rinks across the state. Teams are finishing up league games, and dreams about making it to state are getting more and more common.

As exciting as this time of year is, there is also a fair amount of stress for parents. They want their player and his or her team to play well. While the games can be stressful, they are also a lot of fun.  The real stress comes from somewhere else. How do you pay for all the expenses related to these tournaments?

The costs of an additional tournament or two can really add up in a hurry.  Not every family or association has enough extra funds on hand to cover those expenses, and nobody should miss out on a trip to regions or state because they are a little short on cash.
