Mixed bag weekend

Happy to see my little guy doing so well. We are struggling to decide if he should try out for some crazy tournament team in the Spring. Lots of money. He likes club hockey - house league with occassional travel games. But always wondering if travel hockey is really all it's cracked up to be or if it's just designed to make gullible parents spend more money than they need to. Do the kids who play travel really get any better in the end than the other kids? Maybe. When is best to make the switch? Do you need to make the switch? Who can afford this anyway?

I sometimes feel like I'm being pressured by sales men that you have to do X or you have to do Y. Older guy had a tough weekend - two losses. But he played well. Solid checking which makes Mommy happy.
