Being a Hockey Parent

[E.J.]

Thanks, Mike....

It is disappointing. In fact more than disappointing, I am sad about losing out on this and pissed feeling like I was mislead. I will see what I can do to make sure this doesn’t happen again….(latch onto a head coach to be a #1 assistant, which is assured a spot). The Little One is good enough, I assume it shouldn’t be a problem.

I went online shopping at Ice Warehouse to drown my sorrows. The Little Man needed new gloves(have promised him X60’s for 2 weeks) and the Little One needed a neck guard. I put in wrist guards(LM) and an Ai9(LO) as extra treats. Have NO IDEA what prompted the Ai9.....talk about impulse purchase....

Ai9 has been dumped.... It was going to hold up the entire order for 25ish days(pre-release order), so I dumped it, added a new jock/cup and it should ship today.

Fun game tonight, Little Man found the back of the net on an adequate slapshot mid way through the first. He said that he didn't get it all and tells me there might be something wrong with his stick....not what my wallet likes to hear....





For no apparent reason, he started dancing a jig late in the third, before a puck drop. There were some girls there banging on the glass calling his name, but he already has a date for homecoming Friday....
