Default Re: Being a Hockey Parent

The Little One had the opportunity to go practice with the U14 Lady Lightning and their U14 Developmental Team the other night. It was apparent that she was clearly out skilled/sized/strength by most of the girls(she'll be 8 this month), she really held her own with some of the others.

They split the girls up by ability after a bit and went to an ADM practice, where she did just fine. On the flip side, I don’t know what girls were there that were actually guests and what girls were on the developmental team(it was obvious who were actually on the Lady Lightning team). Wish I knew.

She had such a great time, it being the first time she has just practiced with girls. I ask her what her favorite part was, her response "The whole thing." It was also nice that there was a girl on the LL team that she had met before, her brother plays with the Little One's brother on the Jr. Grizzlies.

Took a couple pictures, as I tend to do. VERY strange to have her be the small kid…..
