It is really depressing to see parents sacrificing so that thier kids can play a game.

Why not kids teams?
Don't be depressed by parents making sacrifices for their kids. That is why we have them, after all. Although I agree it's crazy to spend big money on sticks and stuff, it is the parents' responsibilty to choose how and how much money they are willing spend. I don't believe I need to buy a stick for $250 (heck, our boys have rarely had a stick worth over $50) but I'm not about to tell someone else what they can spend.
And hockey isn't the only place you see "the Jones trying to keep up with the Jones". It's the same in every sport. Heck, it's the same in the vehicles we drive, the clothes we buy, .....
