FOMO Cost Calculator Lite

See how how your spending compares to typical youth hockey costs. It's as simple as:
 

  1. Select your player's level from the drop down menu up top.

  2. Enter what you are spending or expect to spend in each category this season. 

  3. Compare your numbers with typical amounts.

  4. Get your score. See legend below for help interpreting your score.

Legend:

  • 0–1: Chill. You’re choosing, not chasing. Keep up the good work.

  • 2–3: Warm. Double check if each extra thing has a purpose or not.

  • 4–5: Spicy. Logic might be in the penalty box—time to regroup!

Understanding Your Score:​

  • You start at 0.

  • You accumulate 1 point for each "hype signal" based on what you indicate you are doing this season.

    • Hype signals:

      • Lots of tournaments (more than 6 total).

      • Privates overload (more than 24 private lessons ≈ every other week, or more).

      • Clinic heavy (more than 8 weeks of clinics).

      • Year-round off-ice (more than 8 months of off-ice training).

      • Spring league (you’re playing spring).

      • Fly-away events (more than 1 tournament that requires flights).

  • The lower your score, the better.​
