Hockey Mom vs. Soccer Mom

I was thinking about how Palin keeps touting her experience as a hockey mom, that I'm a full fledged soccer mom now (practice was yesterday!) then I was inspired by Mamita Mala's post about privilege, I thought that I'd price out the starting cost for this executive experience:

All prices are from Sports Authority. Please leave a comment if you think I forgot a piece of equipment. I left out things that might be under uniform (t-shirt, jersey, etc.) and I priced things out as cheap as possible on both sides.

Hockey Equipment	Cost		Soccer Equipment	Cost
Easton Synergy SY50 Senior Ice Hockey Skate	49.99		Wilson Traditional Soccer Ball	9.99
Nike Bauer Supreme 30 Senior Ice Hockey Shoulder Pads	59.99		Pro Feet Mens Acrylic All-Sport Team Sock - Minimum 2 Pairs Per Order	2.99
Nike Bauer Supreme 30 Senior Ice Hockey Elbow Pads	39.99		Lotto Stadio Azzurri Team FG 2T Soccer Cleat Mens	44.99
Nike Bauer Supreme 30 Senior Ice Hockey Shin Guards	24.97		adidas Predator Lite Shin Guards	6.99
Nike Bauer 1500 Ice Hockey Helmet & Cage Combo	44.99		adidas Valiente Short Mens	19.99
Koho 2100 Ultimate Senior Hockey Stick with ABS Blade	14.99
Total	234.92		Total	84.95

Something makes me think that the experience of a hockey mom isn't as shared as the GOP wants us to think.
