Being a Hockey Parent

[E.J.]

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).

Second game of the season and the first Win for the Squirt A team.
It took six or seven games last year to Get a win It looks like we are on the right track.

My son got his first point of the season.
An assist on the first goal of the game.
He's looking good out there This is going to be a great year.

Nice

EJ that is nuts. Never seen that before.

Ms mite team played 3 half ice games this Sunday. He and hus buddy went off and pissed off coaches. His best goal was when he was tripped driving the net from the side and scored while sliding on his stomach across the front of the net. The great thing about his mite club team is the coach has split the kids into 2 groups. He is working with the group of 5 kids who are good and working heavily on skating and puck movement. I am very happy how well hes getting coached right now.

Inhouse started last week. I really hope they let him play up. It was ugly out there talent wise for mites and he was visibly board on the ice. During a scrim he and his buddy were on opposite shifts. They literally controlled the puck 70% of the time. People were asking who they were it was kind of funny.
