Being a Hockey Parent

Great pics of the girl. She seems to get the puck a lot lol. Definitely getting big. Nice to see her taking advantage of the boys.

Kid played a three games this past Sunday. One of the games was against the B squad from the club he left earlier this year. The coach who yelled all the time and didnt think M ever did anything good. He beat the B team pretty much on his own, thankfully that coach doesnt coach the B team. Final score 5-3. He had 3 goals and an assist. He even ran a kid or two over . Yesterday they said they were going to try to play their A squad this weekend. I told our team manager it was too soon for him and we would skip that game. Apparently M is viewed as the heart of the team as the manager said he understood and would just cancel if M wasnt going to play. I told him just do the game, but apparently he doesnt want to.

Third game we swore some of the kids were squirts. Never seen 8 year olds that big. We have 2 bigb8 year olds. They were smaller then half the team. It wasnt a league game so we think they just grabbed who ever could make the 2 hour drive. Team is from a ghetto area to put it nicely. The kids were pretty aggressive. Lot of slashing and tripping. Was funny to watch. M got tripped so he got up and started chopping wood on this kid. Watching a 7 year old chirp the $ hit out of another kid while skating down the ice is hilarious. His coach was laughing as well. A few shifts later his teamate got hacked so M skates over and shoulder checks the the kid who did it into the boards. Then not missing a beat boards another kid right next to that kid. The other teams parents started screaming. They werent really calling penalties obviously. His coach looks over at me and says man "M is so feisty". His nickname is apparently "lil $hit"
