Didn't Duchene's(?) family calculated that their total investment in for Matt's hockey career was like around $100k?

I think it was close to that when they factored in things like billeting and education costs ya

Does he care? Aren't NHL players sponsored? All their equipment is probably free.

Sponsorships don't mean free sticks for every player that signs the deal. The player gets piles of money if sponsored, but the team still has to buy the sticks, and all other gear too for that matter. Except for cases like Chelios' shoulder pads that he had worn since peewee.

 

Benn didn't throw away his own $600 here, he burned the clubs $600. So in that sense the gear is free, but it all still has to be paid for.

Sadly, that tantrum probably only cost his stick supplier about $60 for those three stick.  The money they are making on those sticks is crazy.  And the hockey shops probably barely make a dime as well.

I'm sure it was more.

 

last I talked to a minor hockey association member in north Vancouver, peewee rep was about 20k per year.
