Being a Hockey Parent

Just had the goalie that was between the pipes for the 2 time State Championship team, for both their championships, transfer to our school and was at practice last night..... This should be interesting.

Went from not having a goalie last Summer, needing a kid to transfer in to have someone in net.....to now having 4, 3 of those being VERY GOOD. 2 are very young, but starting for a U16 AAA and a U16AA, the other mentioned above, who is between the pipes for a U18 AA and IMO, the best of the bunch. Crazy how things change in a year in that aspect.

HS team should be VERY DEEP & talented, but some of that is youth. Wouldn't want to be the coach, deciding who is going to be on the ice. He watched practice last night from off the ice to get a different view to evaluate. All that said, wonder if they will gel enough to make a serious run at the title....can't win on talent alone(think they have as much/more depth, than any team in the State).
