OP's mom + sister?
(i'd say wife + daughter, but OP is obviously a youngster)

What makes you think it could only be 1 combination or the other? Don't assume they are mutually exclusive.

The answer is no and I will prove it simply. How much does a Puck cost? How much does a soccer ball cost? Argument over, soccer is more expensive to play.

It's more expensive to watch, too. You have to pay to watch 11 players on a soccer field, whereas you're only paying to watch six on a hockey pitch.

That's another good point.

Plus remember that ice is naturally occurring in lakes and rivers. Just go right out and play. With soccer you have to mow the field, maintain and grow the grass, line the field, etc. All very expensive.

That bigger soccer net uses about ten times the steel as a hockey net; costly.

Yeah, and good luck finding grass in Nunavat from October until May. Astronomical costs in shipping grass from South Carolina ensure that the only soccer players you'll see have names like, Buffet, Gates, and Soros.
